Chris Pollock: the Southern Hemisphere answer to George Clancy...

End to end stuff. Possession changing hands plenty of times and both teams are happy to use the quick lineout. The Chiefs have a scrum near the Highlanders 22m line after an accidental obstruction. Less than a minute on the clock, the Chiefs have an opportunity to sneak into the lead before halftime.

Penalty to the Highlanders, Hika Elliot holds onto the ball at the ruck. Sopoaga sets up a lineout on the Chiefs 10m line.

Go the chiefs

The Chiefs employ a backline move from the scrum and Fekitoa smashes Horrell in the tackle after a perfect read of the play. Highlanders scrum on the 22m line.

The Highlanders turn the ball over in their own 22m area and decide to spread it wide where Naholo loses the ball forward after a poor pass by Fekitoa. The Highlanders will regret not clearing the ball down field now that the Chiefs have a scrum inside the Highlanders 22m area.

Penalty to the Chiefs, Aaron Smith plays the ball on the ground after a set play went wrong. James Lowe sets up a lineout near the Highlanders 22m line.

Weber gathers the ball from the kickoff and does very well to break down the side of the field before losing the ball forward in contact. Highlanders scrum on the Chiefs 10m line.

The Chiefs win a penalty at the ruck for a defender not releasing the player on the ground. Horrell will have a simple kick from 22m out.

Fantastic try. Aaron Smith attacks the blind side of the scrum on the halfway line, he draws the winger before offloading to Naholo who quickly returns the pass back to Aaron Smith, who then draws another defender before offloading back to Naholo once again to score in the corner. Brilliant effort between the two.
