The first game of the 2013 New Zealand conference has kicked off at a frenetic pace. Both teams are looking energetic and threatening. Highlanders are first to concede a penalty. New boy, Anscombe steps up and knocks it over to take the Chiefs in front.

Come on Landers! Do me proud from over in Melbourne :)

Best looking highlanders team since forever , don't fuck it up Jamie

The highlanders need to come out firing and not like the blues last season with a team with so much talent and go no where with it. At the end it's team work n team chemistry that will get either team across the line
