    Recap

    Canterbury Punivai raced 60 meters to break Wellington fans hearts to win in the first golden point match on Saturday.

    This came after two defeats for the red and black Canterbury side. This was not just a 31-26 win but also a bonus point win.

    It was Canterbury that trailed Wellington 26-18 after Thompson beat three defenders with brute strength with just 17 min left on the clock.
    They got over a penalty from the boot of Burke before Christie got over for a late score.

    Scorers:

    Canterbury 31 (Mitchell Drummond, Ngane Punivai, Tom Christie, Isaiah Punivai tries; Fergus Burke 3 pen, con) Wellington 26 (Vince Aso, Naitoa Ah Kuoi, Peter Umaga-Jensen, Tyrone Thompson tries; Jackson Garden-Bachop 2 con).
