Sonny Bill Williams is a former rugby league star who has recently converted to the 15-man code. Everyone following the ITM Cup tournament is anticipating his start for the Canterbury team, which has now been set for next week. Although he didn't get to play for Canterbury this week, he played one half of a curtain-raiser between two Christchurch-based clubs and scored two tries for the side he was on in that time.
While the curtain-raiser was unfolding, Wellington beat Northland 31-28. Wellington scored their points from two tries by Victor Vito, one try each by Sean Treeby, Julian Savea, and John Schwalger, and three conversions by Fa'atonu Fili. Northland scored theirs from two tries by Dean Budd, one try by Aaron Bancroft, and three penalties and two conversions by Lachie Munro.
Now back to AMI Stadium for the really important match of last night: Canterbury beat Auckland 35-16. Canterbury scored their points from tries by Luke Romano, Telusa Veainu, Robbie Fruean, and Sean Maitland, and Colin Slade kicked three penalties and three conversions. Auckland scored theirs from a try by Onosai'i Auva'a, three penalties by Matt Berquist, and a conversion by Ash Moeke.
