Not a first half we hoped for a final, but one we probably should've expected. Both teams playing finals rugby and keeping things simple. Hawkes bay have given away some poor penalties, which Bay of Plenty have capitalized on. Bay of Plenty have have most of the possession but Hawkes Bay have defended well and pushed Bay of Plenty back into their half. Lets hope for more action in the 2nd half
