@Crazy-Horse Yeah, he's been good, too. It's unfortunate that he's a bit injury prone.

@Chris Burke was excellent, Pohipi very good, Fihaki hot and cold.
Burke has really come on,He played really well in SR this season.
More game time in NPC last season set him up for a good SR and he is kicking on from there.
Burke and McAlister maybe in with chance for the New Zealand XV for the end of year tour.

Yeah took a little bit to get into the game but Burke took control and Pohipi was providing go forward.
That was a good tough game, which I think is what was expected from a very good side like Northland. They have some quality out but they are well coached this year and it’s showing in their play.

@ACT-Crusader I know it is cliched, but IMO we were better than that score says...was about 50-70 mins Canterbury upped the tempo and we went off the boil.
Like any game, a few decisions here and there and who knows, but we failed to capitalise on our early chances and put pressure on the scoreboard, in that first quarter and in the end that told.
