Hawkes Bay lose possession inside their half, Tiatia regathers and kicks ahead. Narawa chases chases but is impeded before he nudges ahead for Karpik to score

Only been one side in this. Bay of Plenty have steamrolled Hawkes Bay to take a commanding 31-0 lead into halftime. Guided by the brilliant Tiatia, Bay of Plenty have been simply brilliant. Attacking with flair and no fear and defending bravely. Hawkes Bay will wonder what has happened and will need a miracle in the 2nd half. Stranger things have happened though...
