A polished Taieri team scored seven tries to dominate the game and outclass Green Island at Miller Park.
The loose trio of Charlie O'Connell, Jeremy Corliss and Rowan Beadle controlled the break down and a pacy back four counter-attacked with venom.
Green Island displayed some individual enterprise with Josh Beer having a strong game at No 8 and Kiel Spooner making ground on the left wing.
But it was just individual efforts.
The big difference was that Taieri played as a team and kept to its game plan.
Taieri had gained its bonus point when it led 25-3 at halftime and added three more tries in the second spell.
Fullback Mike Kerr was the catalyst for the counter-attacking moves that tested the Green Island defence.
He also gained large hunks of territory with his punting.
Tom Davie had lightning speed on the left wing and scored two tries himself and set up another one.
Centre Blake Korteweg was a strong runner in the midfield and Jack Stewart a lively halfback with a quick delivery.
Lock Steve Green gathered clean ball in the line-out and hooker Charlie Harrex was lively around the paddock.
Taieri 42 (Mike Kerr, Todd Ford, Tom Davie 2, Jack Stewart, Dean Collins, Charlie Harrex tries; Stewart conversion, penalty goal, Blake Korteweg conversion), Green Island 10 (Andre Clarke try; Chris ONeill conversion, Shane McNoe penalty goal).
Halftime: Taieri 25-3.
Referee: Tim Baker.
