The Harbour front rower helped set up a 28-15 win against Taieri in Dunedin premier rugby at Forsyth Barr Stadium this evening.
The Hawks pushed the Eels around at scrum time.
No 8 Eti Helu dived on the ball to score from an early tighthead.
And the Hawks unleashed another couple of mighty shoves to secure back-to-back tightheads. Eventually first five Rique Miln skipped over.
Taieri rallied. First five Archie Body got clear on the outside and scored in the corner, and blindside Thomas Bolton spun his way out of a tackle to scored from close range.
But the Eels fumbled in the midfield. The ball got toed through and Wiremu Brailey scored the winner.
In the other games, University edged Kaikorai 35-32 at Logan Park and Southern beat Alhambra-Union 32-12 at the North Ground.
Green Island beat Zingari-Richmond 34-19 in the late game.
