Teen star Jordie Barrett had scored the game's opening try and he finished with 25 points as Canterbury made it two wins from as many matches.

Canterbury are top of the Premiership Division after collecting bonus points in their first two victories.

In a meeting between two winless teams, Counties Manukau came out on top in a 39-34 victory over Bay of Plenty.
