Galloway opens the scoring. Black does really well to take it up and flick it inside to Laumape who takes it into the 22m. Manawatu have numbers and skip out to Galloway who is clear to score in the corner

Canterbury host Manawatu in the first game of round 7 of the Mitre 10 Cup. Canterbury have finally found themselves after one of their worst starts in years. After losing 3 in a row, they have gone on to win 3 on the trot, with some impressive performances. They take on a Manawatu team who are on a bit of a turn around themselves, winning 2 on the bounce. Canterbury will be a much tougher obstacle. Canterbury have won 4 from the last 5 matches between the two sides.
