Although the sun and wind were both with it in the first speil, Canterbury led at half-time by only 6 points to 3, a try by Serra and a penalty goal by Oliver for Canterbury, and a penalty by Graham for Buller. When the teams turned over Buller pressed persistently, but Canterbury came away with a rush, for Oliver to score an unconverted try. Goodall and Quinn added tries for Buller. levelling the scores, but in the closing stages Canterbury rattled on three tries in quick succession by Brown, Gibbs and Hazelhurst, Rhodes and Payne each converting one try. |
