Concern about Canty fullback
Canterbury’s two. casualties from the national championship rugby match against Counties at Lancaster Park on Saturday, Shayne Philpott and Brent Harvey, both suffered leg strains with Philpott’s injury causing more concern. Philpott fell awkwardly after joining the Canterbury backline from fullback smin into the match and was in some discomfort when he was assisted from the field. Although the knee strain has left Philpott with a stiff gait now, the assistant Canterbury coach, Andy Holland, said last evening that it was too early to speculate on Philpott’s fitness for the Ranfurly Shield challenge against Auckland on Saturday. Harvey, the loosehead prop, retired 27min into the second half also with a strain which extended from his back to his hamstring. “It was something akin to what Albert
Anderson suffered recently, a twinge in the back which went to the hammy,” Mr Holland said. Harvey, however, has made a quick recovery and should take a full part in training this week. Canterbury underwent what Mr Holland termed a “reasonably hard run” yesterday
