Working off a classy, and multi-skilled 10-12-13 combination of Richie Mo'unga, Jordie Barrett and Jack Goodhue, Canterbury took a 20-12 lead to the sheds. Canterbury, who will have one defence - on October 7 against North Harbour - stay atop the Premiership standings, while Waikato remain in fifth position. Waikato are back in action on Sunday in Whangarei for a crossover clash with the Taniwha, while Canterbury travel to Taranaki on the same day.
