McCaw is back on the field after his yellow card, 7min remaining in the half. Crusaders scrum on their own 10m line.

The yellow card has had a massive effect on the Saders momentum. They are penalised again for not releasing the ball and the Highlanders set up a lineout near halfway.

Its about time refs start acting on McCaw's negative play at rucks!

Crusaders attacking on halfway, Highlanders contest at the ruck and win a penalty after the Saders hold onto the ball. They set up a lineout near the Saders 10m line. Fekitoa makes a break through the midfield and makes a great offload, Osborne gets the ball on the wing and breaks a couple tackles to dive over in the corner for a very impressive try off set piece ball.

Sopoaga will be disappointed with his kicking thus far.

Robinson runs a great line from a ruck and slips through the defense to go over for a try. The Highlanders are right back in this.

McCaw goes off his feet at the ruck again and gets a yellow as a result. The Highlanders have a 5m scrum, major pressure on the Saders.

Aaron Smith hassles Ellis at scrum time and gets a boot to the ball, he runs the length of the to eventually regather the ball and set up a ruck. The Highlanders win a penalty and elect to set up a lineout rather than take the points. They set up a maul but it is brought down early.

Saders clear the ball up field and the Highlanders lose the ball forward at the resulting ruck. Saders scrum near the Highlanders 22m. Crusaders have 85% possession 20min in.

Crusaders are on the attack inside the Highlanders half. Saders look very keen to let the ball do the work.
