Strange half of rugby, as Manawatu dominated possession and territory but Canterbury have a 10 point lead. Both teams were excellent on defense, but Manawatu put Canterbury under pressure early and kept them defending for most of the half, but a loose kick allowed Canterbury to score a break away try. Its been an arm wrestle, but Manawatu will back themselves after that 40 minutes
