Fantastic individual brilliance by Milner-Skudder as he slices the defence and gets a perfect offload in the tackle to Thomson who scores in the corner

He is coming back from an injury of his kicking leg

Precautionary...

The Hurricanes are not keen to kick away possession, they have run everything with reasonable success.

giving Marshall the kicking boots over Barret ?

Cynical play at the maul

The Canes have gone from their own 22m line to the Highlanders tryline, the Hurricanes are playing some beautiful rugby with multiple offloads in the tackle and running into space. They win a penalty 5m out after the Highlanders go offside at the ruck.

The Hurricanes are struggling to keep possession of the ball, plenty of unforced errors.

Naholo is penalised for holding onto the ball, the Highlanders miss out on a big opportunity to get an early lead. Hurricanes defence looked rock solid.
