Magpies lose by one point
The pressure has intensified in the Hawke's Bay Magpies quest to secure a top seven finish in rugby's ITM Cup.The Magpies were pipped 17-16 by bottom-of-the-table Otago in today's sixth round encounter in Dunedin. It was Otago's first win of the season and the Magpies remain third to last on the points table.While the Magpies were on the receiving end of some harsh calls from Canterbury referee James McPhail at times they paid the price for some poor option taking and a lack of patience at crucial times.Scorers:Otago 17 (Alando Soakai, Kees Meeuws tries; Glenn Dickson pen, 2 con) Hawke's Bay 16 (Hika Elliot try; Daniel Kirkpatrick 2 pen, con, Mark Jackman pen). Halftime: 10-3.
