Foreman goes off injured on his 100th match for Manawatu, a great shame.

Robbie Fruean takes a crash ball off the scrum and finds a gap to run 30m before being taken down near halfway.

Northcott makes a fantastic break and offloads in the tackle to spark a 50m break up field by Manawatu, however a poor pass results in Masirewa losing the ball forward inside the Hawk's Bay 22m.

Emery makes a third steal for Manawatu at the ruck thus far. Hawk's Bay need to secure their own ball better. Hawk's Bay have won another penalty and West has an opportunity to extend the lead.

West collects the ball from a scrum 35m out, he unbelievably finds a gap through the midfield and steps the fullback before barging his way over the line to score in the corner. Great try.

Black puts a grubber through inside the Hawk's Bay 22m area, it is easily gathered by Berquist who clears up field. Wasted opportunity.

Manawatu win a penalty right in front of the poles after Hawk's Bay enter the ruck from the side, should be a very easy 3 points for Black.

Fruean is penalised for getting onto his feet while being held down after a tackle. Manawatu set up a lineout near halfway, but win another penalty after Hawk's Bay enter the maul from the side.
