Some interesting games and results in the weekend.
Harbour should have won that game by plenty if they were a bit more clinical. Standard North Harbour really though when you think how the men play.
Shield Snorters looked to be in control too. Didnt see the game but was following the scoring and it really went downhill in the last 20mins with 2 players in the bin allowing Northland to finish strongly and score multiple times.
Expected Canterbury to win by more.

Auckland/Otago score flatters Auckland a little. They only stretched ahead once Otago got a couple of scores behind and started chasing the game/throwing on reserves.
The Otago team is very young and inexperienced and have also just stepped up a grade but are holding their own for large parts of the game through very well coached forwards. Unfortunately the backs seem to be an afterthought and rely on individuals.
The halfback (Maia Joseph) is quality and will surely rise to higher honours.
I like the play of the young lock Henderson as well, who is into everything and has a big engine. Played for the Baabaas against the Black Ferns last year so is definitely on the radar.
Likewise Muir at 8 seems to have the goods. -
Huge milestone for Canterbury stalwart Steph Te Ohaere-Fox
Canterbury prop Steph Te Ohaere-Fox will play her 100th game this weekend, becoming just the second player in New Zealand to hit the milestone for one province, behind Auckland’s Fiao’o Faamausili. And fourth overall.
She’s also the first woman to hit the century mark for Canterbury.The front-rower played 24 times for the Black Ferns between 2008 and 2014, played for the Wasps in the UK and was part of the Barbarians side in 2019.
Sunday’s milestone will be a huge moment for her and her whānau, as she gets set to become the first Cantabrian centurion since Andrew Mehrtens.
