Hunt gets us underway!

Welcome to this round 7 fixture between the Highlanders and the Chiefs here at Forsyth Barr Stadium! The Highlanders haven't had the best of runs in their 2021 Super Rugby Aotearoa campaign, having lost three of their five matches so far. The Chiefs are in a similar boat, having won only two of their four matches so far. Currently, a win for either one of these teams today could turn the table a bit and either allow the Highlanders to become more comfortable with their third place spot or it could allow the Chiefs to take third from their opponents as they try to turn their season around. Follow the game here as we provide live events and running commentary!
