    South Canterbury have shown why they're the reigning Heartland rugby champions... coming from behind to book their place in yet another Meads Cup decider

    South Canterbury have shown why they're the reigning Heartland rugby champions... coming from behind to book their place in yet another Meads Cup decider


    After surprisingly trailing 10-3 at halftime to Ngati Porou East Coast - following a yellow card - the visitors then went 17-3 ahead at Pleasant Point.

    But two sin-binnings hurt East Coast badly after that, and South Canterbury scored 31 unanswered points to win 34-17.

    Whanganui await in a replay of last year's second division final, after the Butcher Boys thrashed Thames Valley 38-3 in the other semifinal.
