The Hurricanes are finally rewarded for their dominance, however Barrett is unable to convert the try.

Hahahaha **** u barrett

Julian Savea receives the ball from the scrum and makes good ground to be brought down a metre from the tryline, they recycle the ball and quickly spread it wide to Nonu who has too much power and barges his way over in the corner.

The Hurricanes steal the ball at the lineout, but once again the Highlanders defence holds strong as they hold the ball up over the tryline. Hurricanes are awarded a 5m scrum with less than 5 minutes remaining in the half.

Barrett needs to get his kicking boots on soon or the game is lost

Sopoaga clears the ball up field, Marshall takes a brilliant quick throw to PJ Perenara who is tackled out of play 10m from the Highlanders tryline.

The Hurricanes have had 66% possession thus far, but have not been able to convert it into points.

The Highlanders show some fantastic scramble defence after that brilliant counter attack by the Hurricanes. Reggie Goodes knocks the ball on 5m from the Highlanders tryline to bring the movement to an end.

The Highlanders pounce on a loose ball and give it to Osborne who clears down field. The Hurricanes give the ball to Milner-Skudder who gives a brilliant offload in the tackle to Nonu who slices the defence. The Hurricanes are attacking inside the Highlanders 22m area.

Aaron Smith kicks the ball out on the full after the kickoff, poor mistake as the Hurricanes have a lineout near the Highlanders 22m line.
