The Highlanders take a 20-11 lead over the Blues into halftime. The Highlanders got off to the perfect start with two early tries giving them a 12-0 lead. The Blues hit back with their first try, followed by two penalties to trail by a single point. However, the Highlanders would finish the half strongly, with their third try and a penalty giving them a nine point lead at the break.

Brilliant offload but Hunt spills it forward with the line at his mercy and that will be halftime
