The Highlanders have played the man in the air at the lineout and are penalised. Barrett lines up a kick from a very similar position to his previous attempt.
Considering the Highlanders are missing four props due to injury, their scrum has been solid. Fantastic depth at the Highlanders.

Brendon Edmonds has been very effective at ruck time, often getting his hands on the ball and winning penalties.
What a fantastic passage of play by the Highlanders. Osborne slices the defence on the counter attack and gets himself into the 22m area. The Highlanders then show some brilliant hands, including by the tight forwards, which allows Fekitoa to barge over the tryline in the corner. However, the TMO has indicated that there was an obstruction caused by Ben Smith after he cleared a player beyond the ruck.
Highlanders put in a great build up that sees them go 50m through the phases, before Fekitoa loses the ball forward.
The Hurricanes have had the vast majority of territory and possession and are yet to get any points on the board
The Hurricanes make easy work of the Highlanders defence and get right back to the tryline thanks to breaks by Barrett and Milner-Skudder. They then win a penalty as the Highlanders defender did not release the player. Barrett sets up a 5m lineout, but the ball is overthrown and the Highlanders gather the ball.
Free kick awarded to the Highlanders at scrum time. After a long time on their tryline, they can finally clear the ball up field.
Perenara attacks the blind side of the scrum all by himself and gets himself isolated. In a panic to secure the ball, Shields loses it forward at the ruck. 5m Scrum to the Highlanders who will clear the ball up field.
