Higginbotham sparks the attack and is rewarded with the try. He finds space mid-field and darts through. He then links with English inside the twenty two who feeds the ball back to Higginbotham with a suspect, overhead pass. Higginbotham is brought down just short but stretches for the line and scores! Superb effort by Higginbotham and English to evade the final three defenders.

Rebels look to have crossed for a beautifully worked try. TMO consulted..

Bundee Aki dots down for try number two. Rebels are pinged on half-way for an offside infringement. Chiefs opt for the corner and set the maul off the ensuing line-out. Rebels do well to diffuse the rolling maul so the ball if fed out to Aki in mid-field. Aki dances past two defenders and crosses. Anascombe then converts from in front.

Rebels' defence looking shaky early one. Chiefs finding plenty of holes. Chiefs with 84% of possession and 74% of territory in the first 8 minutes..

Terrific start for the Chiefs. Possession is secured early on and they begin to build the phases in the Rebels' half. A barrelling run by the 137kg Ben Tameifuna down the touch-line puts his team on the front foot. They then fling the ball out wide to capitalise on a back-pedalling Rebel defence. Anascobe crosses unopposed in the corner.

Welcome along to our coverage off this Round 12 clash that sees the Rebels welcome the Chiefs to Melbourne. Both teams have been running hot and cold this season. Rebels beat the Force in recent weeks, but suffered an upset loss to the Kings and were edged by the Crusaders.The Chiefs have had similar misfortune. They beat the Sharks last week but suffered prior defeats to the Tahs and the Reds. Chiefs will expect to win this but will need to perform. Kick off on the way.
