Turnover for Counties after another dangerous attack by Hawke's Bay comes to nothing. Slight error by the referee allowing the Counties man to get that ball it seems

Counties take the restart and set it up a number of times with some short runs. Hawke's Bay captain, O'Connor, infringes and the Magpies lose the lead

Simple and efficient set piece move as they set up a rolling maul off the line out and a number of backs got involved in that too.

Very close for the Magpies as Dagg goes close but Counties are offside. They are looking for the try. No kick at goal here today

West with a line break straight off the scrum. He had runners off him but evades Taufua to open up space. A kick ahead was collected by the small 10 and counties manage to rip it

What a start by the Magpies and it looked a certain try but it was ruled a knock on by the TMO. Warning shots have been shot across the bow though. Quick hands sent the winger free and he put a great kick ahead. He dives for the ball to ground it but doesn't control it. NO TRY
