Mitre 10 Cup Round 1 Highlights: Tasman v Canterbury

A hard fought win for the home side who got off to a great start in the 2nd half and a great decision to take a penalty kick later on in the game took the score out of reach for the reigning champions. Romano and Pleasants-Tate both stood out for the Canterbury outfit with David Havili and Alaimalo putting their hands up for the home side. Crockett put in another outstanding 80 minute display with youngster Lomax on the other side of the scrum putting in a good shift too. This is Canterbury's first opening day defeat since 2012
