Canterbury vs Tasman Predictions

Canterbury have not played well these last few weeks while Tasman have been flying. One point separates them on the table, and it should be another tight fixture. Despite being away, I fancy Tasman to get within the five-point handicap and perhaps win the match.

Head to Head

Canterbury have won their last five matches against Tasman. Last year they won 52-20 on the road.

Canterbury Form

Canterbury are second on the NPC table after eight matches, seven points off Wellington at the top. They have won five and lost three thus far.

By their usual standards, Canterbury are struggling this season. They have not been convincing and although they beat Southland 29-15 last weekend, the performance was one of their worst.

In a midweek clash last week, Canterbury suffered a shock defeat at Counties Manukau. They will need to start getting regular wins to build momentum ahead of the playoffs.

Expect Canterbury’s strongest side to feature on Saturday.

Tasman Form

Tasman are third on the table, just a point off Canterbury which means they could go above them with a victory here.

Tasman have won their last four matches since going down 7-0 to Wellington a few weeks ago. They beat North Harbour by five points before winning their next three against Manawatu, Taranaki and Counties Manukau with relative ease.

Tasman Injuries & Team News

This is a massive clash as victory would put Tasman in second place, securing a home quarter and semi-final should they get there.
