Three penalties to North Harbour in less than a minute and they persist at trying to score tries and not taking the points when they have the wind advantage
Crotty tackled backwards as he travels a few meters back. Canterbury retain possession and keep shifting the ball from left to right. North Harbour win a penalty after McNicholl is isolated and Harbour take a line out from a kickable position
Decent attack by North Harbour but they looked to have lost it when Tevita Li put in a chip kick. It was recovered and they showed great patience but going through the motions and recycling quickly through Hall and scoring
TMO being called into action as Codie Taylor is over but could be a double movement
Manning a meter short but they have the advantage. Canterbury are not taking the kick as they huunt more tries
Huge defence by the Champions as they put in a couple of huge hits. Brown and Luke Whitelock smashing North Harbour back. Canterbury with a penalty and they kick it out for a line out
Would you believe it. Canterbury score in the opening seconds as Robinson gets his kick charged down and Apa scores...
North Harbour are out on the park, joining Canterbury, and the home side will have the benefit of the wind in the first half.
Welcome to QBR Stadium in North Harbour as they take on Canterbury in a cross over game in the leagues. Strong wind here which will obviously benefit the side playing with it if they can manage their kicks.
