Who scored first 5 point try?

Possibly Tui Faagase for the Waitemata Seniors in Auckland Club Rugby. The match was the first of the first season when 5 point tries were introduced. I believe the game was played on a Friday night as some Auckland club matches were televised that season. This would have meant that the game was played before other club rugby in New Zealand which is traditionally played on a Saturday afternoon.
