Good luck to young Cameron. Big step up for him starting a knock out game.

Look for Bateman to take some of the ball at first receiver.

[Tim]

Cowley-Tuioti, Hall, and Gatland are all out for Harbour.

[Stargazer]

@tim Geez, both their halves.

[Tim]

@stargazer Yeah, and their best forward. Huge blow.

[Stargazer]

Entertaining first half, with both teams playing well.

[Stargazer]

Harbour player slaps the ball out of Funnell's hand on the Harbour try line; ball went clearly forward, but O'Keefe says 'play on'. Not his first wrong call this afternoon.

[Tim]

How does Canterbury not get a yellow card for all those consecutive penalties in their 22?

[Stargazer]

@tim The same way North Harbour didn't get a yellow for all their penalties in the first half.

[ACT Crusader]

That was an entertaining game. Shame that Harbour had so many outs given how well they’ve played this season.

Good effort from Cameron. Had a touch of the Slade about him.

Watched highlights only. My takeaway is gee Hoeata is undisciplined.

You seem surprised that a Hoeata is undisciplined ...
