The teams have gone to sheds for the oranges in Hastings. The Tui have scored three tries during the first half: Amber McKenzie (10'), Denise Aiolupotea (24') & Olioli Mua (32') crossed Waikato's try line. One was converted by Cassie Siataga (25'). Half time: Tui 17 - 24 Waikato #FPC2025 #HBYvWAI

One last game in this year's FPC for the Tui, who unfortunately are already certain of relegation to the Championship. Waikato are in the top 3. No live score-updates today, but the game is livestreamed! Kick-off: 2.05pm. 💻 www.youtube.com/live/RboIFpT... Good luck to the Tui! #FPC2025 #HBYvWAI
