Waikato has now improved their regular-season record to 5-4.
Tucker touched down with 10 minutes to play, shortly after Matt Faddes had put the visitors up in a game the lead changed multiple times.
Waikato can now kick back and watch the Tasman-Wellington and Canterbury-Bay of Plenty fixtures today to see who joins them and top qualifiers Hawke’s Bay in the top four.
