Frank Reynolds has again earned praise from Canterbury coach Matt Corker. Canterbury were edged out at home to second-placed Barnes 29-20 on Saturday, fly-half Reynolds scoring two penalties and two conversions.
It was another valuable contribution by the influential Reynolds - despite a second straight defeat. “He’s really delivering in terms of points,” said Corker. “We have changed our focus slightly this season. “We are a bit more comfortable taking the three-point option and that’s keeping us in touch. “But, when the chance comes to get seven, it’s important to take them, as well.
But Frank is kicking really well. “He delivered some excellent conversions.” Reynolds’ conversions came from tries by scrum-half Ben Cooper and winger Frank Morgan.
Canterbury led approaching the final quarter, only for the high-fliers to turn it around late on. Corker reflected: “I think the story of the game for us wasn’t converting our line-breaks.
