Hawke's Bay 20 - 27 Canterbury
The Evil Empire can thank Tewbacca for not bringing in TMO's and the Ref for a glaring error in the dying seconds of the game that cost the bay a deserved draw. The locals were up 17-14 at the break but that didn't look enough as they turned into a strong wind in the second half. Dan "the man" Carter guided things in the second half and it looked like Canterbury were going to edge the game, of course the Bay would of had the apparent last say if not for incompetent linesman.
Tew needs to seriously look at the situation. First sell out of the year happens in the heartland, a team brimming with All Blacks is lucky to get out of town with a win. Give the ANZC another couple of years in the current format and then revisit it.
On the bright side Canterbury may have one hand on the competition
