CANTERBURY BULLDOGS 18 NEW ZEALAND WARRIORS 6CALLUM WALKER, Accor Stadium, SaturdayCANTERBURY stunned New Zealand to keep their top eight hopes alive – and dent the Warriors’ chance of finishing top. In fact, had it not been for a late Chanel Harris-Tavita effort, Canterbury would have nilled their opponents for the first time in 2026. Unable to live with the power and pace of their opponents, the Warriors conceded again moments later when Jacob Preston took a well-timed Lachlan Galvin pass to power under the posts. Crichton was on target for both conversions as the Bulldogs led 12-0 at half-time. The visitors had to score first after half-time, but a number of costly errors allowed the Bulldogs to make it 16-0 through a Jacob Kiraz try.
