Great match to watch. Both teams threw everything and the kitchen sink, and can take a lot out of that game. Canterbury, a team who haven't struggled to put 40 points against most teams were given a bit of a scare against Counties, a side that has only won one match this season. Thank you for following Ultimate Rugby. Good bye.
Canterbury break, but Whitelock just didn't have the legs to get over the line even though he looked to be in the clear.
Counties are pushing to get within seven points.
Stowers quickly drops it over to get the game restarted seconds before the horn.
Canterbury lose the ball forward in their attempt for the bonus point. And Counties break down the whole field to score.
Canterbury have shown a change of minds as they take the points instead of going for the try. "Never mind a bonus point, let's ensure we win first", is probably the thought behind that decision.
The attitude and determination has been superb by Counties. They are defending hard, and not allowing Canterbury to play with any freedom.
Once again the ref has to go upstairs to confirm the grounding. But video evidence shows that the ball was not grounded, therefore no Canterbury try.
Ref goes to the TMO as Counties had gotten over the tryline. But the findings were inconclusive on whether or not it was grounded properly. Scrum to Canterbury.
Poor discipline by Nabou, and that could kill his team's chances. Counties were looking very threatening.
