A scrum penalty restores Hawke's Bay's 12 point advantage
Hawkins is forced to run the ball from deep in his 22 after what could have resulted in a charge down by quick defensive lines. Hawke's Bay set up good set piece ball but a long skip pass to Chase does not go to hand
The Magpies are turning it on now with a great team try. They went through a number of phases with great work by the forwards and backs. Robbie Fruean takes a deep switch ball by West 10m out and dances around the defence to dive over
Northland having the better of the opening 3 minutes of the second half.
An exciting first half comes to an end and even though Northland have shown some great passages of play, Hawke's Bay have the ascendancy.
The Magpies with a back line shuffle as they lose Buckman to injury and Berquist takes centre stage.
Northland lose it a few meters out after setting up a great driving maul. Chase runs it out and eventually kicks it down field. Northland counter attack and knock it on again just on the Hawke's Bay 22
Northland with a kickable penalty but Pryor decides that 7 points is the better option and they set up a line out, 12m out
What a try! This game is end to end
What a reply by Hawke's Bay as they win a tighthead at the scrum. The ball immediately goes wide and Fruean draws 2 before offloading to chase who timed his last pass to perfection. Buckman had loads of work to do by stepping inside and carrying a man over the line to score
