Auckland into the Canterbury 22 early on

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Both sides head to the shed and Auckland will be looking to fight their way back into this. Canterbury seem to have their defensive pattern under control and they are a try away from the bonus point

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Ben Lam is under pressure on his first touch as a kick through trickles past him and he may have taken it back over the line. He has carried it back and it is an Canterbury feed on a 5m scrum

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Double turnover as Auckland and then Canterbury lose it.

Lolagi Visinia looks to be in trouble as he clutches his hamstring. We will see a change soon

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Tom Taylor spots the gap and opens up the defence as they were scrambling to shift across. Mo'unga runs a great dummy line and Taylor sends the ball accurately to McNicholl who scores

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Barrett in the middle of it again as he breaks the line somehow after looking to crash it up. Poor defence by Auckland

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Scott Barrett held back when trying to get the loose ball after Auckland fail to get it off the restart. It was right in front of the referee and Taylor does the rest

Ultimate Rugby Aug 8

Tyler Bleyendaal penalised for shooting up too soon at the Auckland line out

Daniel Riley Aug 8

Canterburys a good team
