    Canterbury appear poised to maintain an attacking mindset during Sunday's home NPC quarter final against Counties Manukau in Christchurch

    Canterbury appear poised to maintain an attacking mindset during Sunday's home NPC quarter final against Counties Manukau in Christchurch


    They're the only team in the competition that hasn't kicked a penalty through the 10 match round robin.

    Canterbury had an attempt each against Auckland, Tasman and Northland - all of them missed.

    They lead the competition however in tries with 52.

    First five and back-up goal kicker Andrew Knewstubb says they'll treat each scoring opportunity on merit.



    Kick off is at ten past two - with live commentary on Gold Sport and iHeart Radio.
