Although unlikely to have all their ABs back for this, they might be able to build from here. Manawatu pushed the ‘Bay’. Although the streak is 0-5, they dig as a team led by no 8 Thompson. Both still have the faintest of chances Round 10 - 7:35pm Saturday October 3, - Sky Sport 1 for the 4. Taranaki lack confidence out wide but keep driving up front.

Northland can’t make it but Tasman Round 10 - 2:35pm Sunday October 4, Whangarei - Sky Sport 1 are focussed on the 4. They did Auckland by thinking rugby. That’s not WLDLWL Northland L 21-31 v Canterbury 9 3 5 1 10 - 31 33% $2.25 $2.10 that hard, but they’re tight and aggressive in front, build phases and LLWWLW Tasman W 12-8 v Auckland 9 5 4 0 6/9/08 56% $1.60 $1.90 W by 9 can spread it. Even so, it wont be easy in Whangarei. The ‘Taniwha’ stayed with Canterbury last week creating turnovers and attacking with initiative via McKentry again and Munro. They just lack a little class.
