Elliot Dixon does fantastically well as makes a half-break inside the Hurricanes 22m area, then shows a massive amount of strength to take a number of defenders with him to the tryline. The TMO had to be called in to check the grounding.

As was expected, a scintillating half of rugby with both teams playing attacking rugby. The scoreline is nothing to go by as the on field action has been non stop. Big hits , great running rugby, and plenty of little individual battles all over the field. The second half minutes away. Who will have the mettle to dig deepest to come away with the win. The next 40 minutes will reveal all... Hold onto your seats and enjoy the next half of the Super Rugby Final

Breathe Beauden. Come on, you've got this!

Sopoaga slots the conversion to take the halftime deficit to 8 points.

Buckman is tackled out of play 5m from the Hurricanes tryline after the Highlanders pounce on a loose ball. Hurricanes have a 5m lineout, however the ball is stolen by the Highlanders who are on the attack with a minute left on the clock.
