Discipline errors begin to creep into Steamers ranks! Two counts of offside grant West with two attempts at goal. But he has missed them both! The hosts may count themselves somewhat fortunate to be only 7 behind. 28 mins down - scores remain at 10-3.

Bay of Plenty launch their first real attack of the game! Gradually, they work their way into the Magpies' 22 and are awarded a penalty after some Hawke's Bay ill-discipline at the breakdown. Willie Ripia steps up and is successful with the place kick! The home side are off the mark and the gap is reduced to 7 points! 10-3 to the visitors!

Penalty awarded to the visitors! A late tackle on Zac Guildford leaves referee Mike Fraser with no choice but to award Hawke's Bay a penalty 45m from goal. West, having missed the previous attempt, slots the place kick beautifully between the uprights and thus extends his side's lead to 10. 10-0!

Hawke's Bay are really starting to assert their dominance on the game! Problems at the scrum arise for both teams. Both sides are evidently struggling with the new laws at scrum time!

And the visitors draw first blood! Having soaked up early Steamers pressure, Hawke's Bay began to string phases together and work their way deep into BOP's territory. With a dominant rolling maul - setting up a solid platform, Hawke's Bay spread it wide to winger Veainu who touches down for the opening try of the game! West makes no mistake with the conversion and extends the lead to 7-0!

Hello all and welcome to Ultimate Rugby’s coverage of the second round of the ITM Cup with Bay of Plenty playing host to Hawke’s Bay at Bay Park. The visitors, Hawke’s Bay, will be looking to make it two wins from two so far after their comfortable win over Manawatu last weekend. The hosts however, Bay of Plenty, will be hungry to post their first win of the ITM Cup on the board after that narrow loss to Otago in the opening round of fixtures. We’re just about to get underway now – let’s hope it’s a good one!
