Very poor conversion attempt by Barrett.

The Hurricanes turn the ball over in the tackle and give the ball to Savea who goes 50m before being brought down 10m from the tryline. They recycle the ball and spread it wide where there is a huge overlap and Jane strolls over the line for a try.

The Force are keen to keep the ball tight and use their strength.

Mafi does very well to steal the ball on the ground and win a penalty just when his team needed it. Great defence by the home side.

Huge scrum by the Hurricanes causes a turnover, and a scrum for the Hurricanes 5m out.

Barrett sets up a brilliant break down the side of the field which results in the Force having to run the ball out 5m from their own line. The Hurricanes take the lineout quickly and after a few phases they set up Savea in the corner who loses the ball forward over the tryline. Major opportunity lost for the away side.

Hurricanes using a rush defence to good effect. The Force struggle to get over the advantage line.

The Force start the match off with a lineout just inside the Hurricanes half. They form a maul before attacking the blind side. Hurricanes defence holds strong but Abbott did not roll away at the ruck, giving away what should be an easy 3 points.
