After a stint at Whitehaven between 1992 and 1995, Friend returned home and played for the Counties Manukau Heroes in the Lion Red Cup.
On a slippery surface, New Zealand exploited Hauff's weakness with low balls by grubber kicking to him near their line, with at least one fumble in the second half leading to a try to Tawera Nikau, while also failing to clear the ball over the dead ball line in a race with NZ replacement Clayton Friend, leading to a try to Friend.
