Cruden spots the home side have fallen asleep and took a quick restart that trickled out insode the Highlanders 22
Penalty kick to the Highlanders and they could level things up early on in the 2nd half. Ruck infringement as well as an offside there
Pulu, what's wrong?
Fruean hit hard by Buckman after a little hospital ball was sent to him. Anscombe managed to shake a defender after but when he was tackled the Highlanders piled numbers in to get the penalty
Great hands by the Chiefs after a scrum and they made it all the way out wide gaining 10-15m but the last pass off Anscombe was a bit loose and the Highlanders have the scrum feed.
Huge defence by the Highlanders and Pulu is forced blind to find Cruden who is outnumbered by defenders, Sweeney calls for the kick and Cruden obliges. Ben Smith had everything covered and in true rugby ball fashion it takes a wicked bounce and Sweeney gets a gift
Fekitoa X Fruen. That might be the best duel tonight (just cause the highlanders pack is too good so far)
Huge scrum by the Highlanders as they get a tight head and penalty. The ball goes wide and Fekitoa breaks the line to set up Ben Smith who rides the tackle and release Osborne
Penalty to the Highlanders after the Chiefs lose the scrum after hooking and having the ball on their side. Odd passage of play and Pulu goes offside to try and get it back
Bundee Aki smashes the line on a crash ball but Shane Christie holds him up over the line. Chiefs with a 5m attacking scrum
