    To today's NPC rugby final in Christchurch, where Canterbury and Otago have been trading tries


    Otago midfielder Thomas Umaga-Jensen opened the scoring after just 5 minutes ... his Canterbury opposite Dallas McLeod replied four minutes later.

    Then Lucas Casey and Brodie McAlister scored one more try each for their respective sides ... but Canterbury haven't converted either of their five-pointers.

    Otago lead 14-10 at halftime.
