Fijian wing, Rupeni Caucau scored two tries for Northland rugby team in the ITM Cup Championship against North Harbour yesterday.

Caucau's first of two first half tries came after excellent work from centre Rene Ranger that led him to stroll 60 metres out.

His second was a strong finish on the left wing from close range but despite Northland leading 20-8 at the interval, they drew 33-all.

In other matches Taranaki beat Southland 15-14 while a late surge propelled Auckland to a 32-17 win over Bay of Plenty at Eden Park.
