And we don’t

Strange decision. I would have gone for the try

[taniwharugby]

Long advantage for a.knock on

[Canes4life]

So close Northland. Canterbury are definitely beatable.

Very strange. By kicking the 3 you still need a try and you have to start again from deep in your own half with 4 minutes left.

[Machpants]

Much better than I thought after the first 2 minutes

[taniwharugby]

Gotta say we had our chances, but failed to take most of them, Canterbury did what was required.

[Canes4life]

Well played Canterbury, unlucky Northland. Similar to the Wellington vs Hawkes Bay game before. Canterbury rushed out to a lead, Northland came back but weren’t quite good enough to finish the job.

The thing about that, is with better control ( coaching ) we could have won that. A game we were given no chance in.

[Steven Harris]

Congratulations to Canterbury, Good season from the Taniwha especially given they have played most of the season without skipper Tom Robinson and Chris Apoua , and losing Moulds and then the 2 Goodhue Boys ..could have been so much better ..
Full credit to Matt Matich for the what he’s bought to this team and doing such an awesome job as skipper

Oddly, despite being the first time we won 6 in a sesson since 1997, that statement there seems to be there for us every year

[kev]

Why did we not go for the lineout?

[J77]

Congrats Canterbury. Hats off to a very good second half from us. Made them sweat. Bring on 2023, lots to be positive about.

Shame about the first 20mins. It was a pretty even contest after that

3 teams have limped into the semis so far
