final, as well as their two encounters with the Wellington teams on Monday and Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, they rarely missed a tackle in the first half and then capitalised in the second by beating winless Wellington Gold 50-14 and on Tuesday they held on over the final five minutes of relentless attack to draw with Wellington Black 31-31.<\/p>\n<p>Against Manawatu today, they were trailing the Junior Turbos 8-5 some 20 minutes into the second half, when they broke out and scored this try here through blindside flanker Charlie East (wearing the #5 jersey):<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 640px;\"

day.<\/p>\n<p>First five Will Lovatt then kicked a 48-metre penalty into the light wind with a few minutes to play to give them their 13-8 win.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Manawatu made a bright and breezy start, missing at least two clear chances to score tries in the opening 10 minutes, before fullback Mania Rudolph opened the scoring in the final with a penalty.<\/p>\n<p>Hawke\u2019s Bay rallied, and

This led to a concerted period of phase play in front of Manawatu\u2019s line and finally No. 8 Carter Pirie scored for them.
