Sopoaga sold the biggest dummy I have seen this season and the defence opened up like nothing I have seen before. He sends a great long pass out to Buckman who was reeled in by the defence and the Chiefs survive
Wawawa, what a brilliant breakthrough by Sopoaga
Lima Sopoaga now holds the record for the Highlanders fro most points in a Super Rugby season. He overtook the great Tony Brown
Awesome support angle by Ben Smith (God he is)
The Highlanders have shifted a gear here and broke from their 22 effectively again through Osborne. Penalty to Highlanders could see them with a 10 point lead
What a try!!! Draw and pass stuff so simple and so effective
Brayden Mitchel steals the ball off Marshall and the Highlanders see space out wide and Sopoaga sends the ball to Fekitoa who runs past one defender and draws the last man to pass to Buckman who then in turn draws the cover defence to set up Ben Smith
GREAT TRY!!! Such simple and concise use of 'drawing the man'
The Chiefs looked great on attack and Pulu was directing both his forwards and backs well but the Highlanders get a penalty and the attack comes to nothing for the Chiefs
Huge defensive work by the Highlanders on the Chiefs maul. Tom Franklin gets his hands on the ball and they eventually stop the mall and get the scrum feed
