Hawke's Bay patiently build the phases. The broke the gain with ease off each phase and made several metres. With play opening up McKenzie made the smart decision to concede the penalty.

But the Magpies are let off the hook after winning a penalty on their line.

The unattended ball is turned over by Southland and now attack deep in the Magpie 22.

The line out was lost and a number of penalties have marched Hawke's Bay back up the pitch

Great kick from Marty McKenzie! He weighs the ball perfectly to have to stop just short the touch line and Magpies line. A great chase from Milne puts pressure on Guildford and forces him into touch for an attacking line out, 5m out.

The Magpies back three look happy to put boot to ball. Robinson is having trouble dealing with the bouncing ball, under pressure from a good kick chase.

In his 100th game David Hall concedes a penalty for a high tackle. Into the breeze Ihaia West makes no mistake with the boot.

Southland are first to get off the mark but off the restart they can't secure possession. Hawke's Bay now on the attack inside the Southland 22.

Scott Eade though his kick went over but the touch judges weren't so sure. After consulting the TMO the kick is awarded.

A probing kick from McKenzie finds touch in the Magpie 22. The away side secure their line out but cough up possession at the breakdown. Some nice hands from Jamie Mackintosh and Josh Bekhuis made some ground down the blindside but Southland were isolated and O'Connor did will to force a turnover.
