A pulsating game ended with Counties Manukau ahead on the scoreboard 36-30. Plenty of tries (including a hat-trick from Alamanda Motuga) and lots of action ensured a clash of high-entertainment value which culminated in a great comeback by the home side to seal their victory.
Loose forward Grace will front for Canterbury, midfielder Umaga-Jensen for Wellington and prop Lomax for Tasman, effectively ruling them out of selection for the trans-Tasman test in the capital on Sunday.
