Despite producing a vastly improved effort the NZ Warriors had to settle for a close loss to Manly Warringah in Saturday's round two Jersey Flegg Cup (under-21) clash at Navigation Homes Stadium in Pukekohe.

The Warriors, hurting after a disappointing 4-50 defeat by Canberra in round one, pushed the Sea Eagles all the way before going down 28-32.

They had the early lead through centre Sefanaia Cowley-Lupo's sixth-minute try - which would be the only time they were in front - before Manly surged to a 20-4 lead with four unanswered tries in just 10 minutes.
