Brilliant individual work by Macilai after captain fantastic, Dan Pryor, sends a brilliant torpedo pass out wide to the winger. Macilai hits the first defender and rides the tackle before the cover defence gets to him, he stretches out his arm to place the ball legally after his body was in the air and drifting our.
TMO ruling on a try out wide for Nothland after plenty of pressure
Robbie Fruean saves the day for the Magpies after a brilliant break by Macilai, drawing 2 players into a tackle and offloading outside to his left. Fruean tracks back and intercepts the last pass and has to run behind his own line before barging his way out
Dan Pryor with another great break and offload. Hawke's Bay's defence is equally as good as they turn it over and run out of their 22 with some slick handling and brute force.

Northland with a long period of attack as they look for a weakness in the Hawke's Bay defensive line. After the 13th phase however, the Magpies get their hands on the ball and earn a penalty
