Match Notes

Kevin Ryan dropped out of the Canterbury team following a fitness test on Saturday but his injured calf was not healed, Norm Thomas who was part of a 7 man forward pack played.

Blakeley & Darby were halftime replacements for Brown & Smith but neither appeared injured after the game and this caused some controversy as both played poorly in the 1st half and rules only allow injured players to be replaced.

Note: Forward packs are listed in reverse order.
