Mitre 10 Cup Highlights: Southland v Hawkes Bay

Hawke's Bay marched to a comfortable opening day bonus point win despite spending 9 minutes in the 2nd half with 13 men. Southland struggled to stop line out drives and mauls and conceded 4 tries as the Magpies rumbled over with their forwards. Tiaan Falcon was in fine form with his boot and will look to maintaining this as HB look to gain promotion back into the Premiership division.
