Lions took an early lead with James Hawken's penalty but Gert De Kock cancelled this out and then converted Pat Sykes' try on 19 minutes. Rugby then enjoyed a good spell of pressure, but could not score even when Canterbury lost De Kock to the sin bin sin bin Noun Slang (in ice hockey etc.) the area in which players must sit for a specified period after committing a serious foul . Lions paid for their failure to score when first Kieron Lewitt kicked a drop goal, then De Kock scored a try on his return and converted. Canterbury continued to score freely after the break. Lions at least secured a bonus point with four tries of their own, but by this time they were always playing catch-up. SCORERS: Canterbury - Tries: Thomas, Sykes (2), Melford, De Kock.
