But before we go into that, let's check out the game between Auckland and Counties Manukau. Auckland won 37-13. Auckland's points came from two tries each by Daniel Braid and Joe Rokocoko, one try by Jerome Kaino, two penalties and two conversions by Gareth Anscombe, and one conversion by Matt Berquist. Counties-Manukau's points all came from Dean Cummins in the form of a try, two penalties, and a conversion. Taiasina Tuifua was yellow-carded in the 78th minute.
Afterwards, Canterbury beat Southland 26-16. Sonny Bill Williams didn't contribute any letters to the alphabet soup this time around but Canterbury still managed to deliver an aftershock of a performance by winning the Ranfurly Shield - and they did this with a try, four penalties, and two conversions by Colin Slade and one try by Telusa Veainu. Southland could only manage a try by Kane Thompson, two penalties and a conversion by Robbie Robbinson, and a penalty by James Wilson.
