Taylor gets the second half underway

A completely dominant first half performance by Canterbury sees them take a commanding 38-7 lead over Manawatu into the break. It started as early as the opening minute as Suckling got over for the first of six first half tries. Canterbury have displayed great hands and pace on attack by both backs and forwards and despite a late resurgence by Manawatu in the final minutes of the half, have convincingly outplayed their opponents.
