James Lowe loses the ball forward after receiving the ball at flyhalf. Buckman gathers the ball and slices the defence to put the Highlanders on the front foot. They get up to the Chiefs 22m line and spread it wide, but a massive tackle by Sonny Bill Williams on Elliot Dixon results in him losing it forward.
