Tasman trounce Auckland

Kiwi minnows Tasman humbled Auckland 12-8 in Nelson on Sunday.

The win sees Chris Jack’s side move into fifth place on the New Zealand Cup log, while Auckland have slid to seventh.

A try by Tasman captain Andrew Goodman saw the underdogs go to half-time with a 7-3 lead. They scored a second after the break through Blair Cook.

Auckland’s reserve hooker Pat Leafa scored with five minutes remaining to set up a dramatic finish, but Tasman were able to hold on for a deserved win.
