Tasman took out reigning champions Canterbury 27-25 yesterday afternoon. Tasman's points cube consisted of three tries (one each from Tom Marshall, James Kamana, and Francis Smith) and three conversions and two penalties from Steve Alfeld. Canterbury only managed a points square consisting of three tries (one each from Telusa Veainu, Andy Ellis, and Steve Fualau) and two penalties and two conversions from Colin Slade. To make matters worse for the visitors, Robbie Fruean was yellow-carded for a breakdown infringement during the 48th minute.
Afterwards, Manawatu lost again but not to a 77-8 margin like last week. This time, it was Counties Manukau bringing Manawatu down 35-14 and the points all came from converted tries. Counties Manukau scored their points with one try each by Fritz Lee, Mark Selwyn, Ahsee Tuala, Sherwin Stowers, and Tim Nanai-Williams; Baden Kerr converted all five. Manawatu only managed a try which was scored by Casey Stone and converted by Craig Clare, and a try which was scored and converted by Isaac Thompson.
