Mitre 10 Cup Highlights: Canterbury v Wellington
- 1219
An entertaining match from start to finish as two really evenly matched teams took each other on! Wellington looked to have the upper hand for most of the game and had some brilliant pieces of play. Canterbury also had some great pieces of play and made it a seriously even match! Wellington woke up at half time and did very well to get points on the board and even take the lead. Canterbury were struggling to get any sort of points on the board from their side though and were only able to equalise with their visitors with two minutes left on the clock. This means that the game ended as a draw and pushed it onto extra time, which means that whoever scored the first points wins. Wellington looked to have the advantages as they continuously got the penalties but an awesome interception from Isaiah Punivai showed that he wanted to end the game as Canterbury take the win, 31-26!
