Bay of Plenty has been officially relegated to the Championship next season after losing to Northland, 20-19 on Saturday in Whangarei.
Northland's Rene Ranger scored a try to remind New Zealanders what they'll be missing, after the versatile back walked away from the All Blacks to take up a contract in France, while team-mate Mateo Malupo dotted down twice in reply to Bay of Plenty's three tries.
