Northland strike right back at Canterbury in much the same fashion as their opponents as they too gain some good momentum on the line. Sweetman is the man waiting on the far right and he powers his way over the try line!

Canterbury strike early as they go onto the attack and do well to gain the momentum from a lineout inside the Northland 22. They send the ball across the team in front of the try line before Gilbert gets it and dots it down on the right!

Canterbury come into this match sitting in sixth place of the Premiership table with Northland sitting in sixth of the Championship table of the Mitre 10 cup.
