Messy stuff there, but the result is a try to Rayasi. Looked a bit dodgy there in the middle of the field. If it happened in the last five minutes, definitely something to do a captain's challenge for. Looked like a knock-on from the Canes.

TMO no try

[Stargazer]

@machpants Ha, yes, just happened after I had clicked "submit". Right call, I think.

[Stargazer]

The younger Garden-Bachop has replaced Punivai.

[Stargazer]

Bryn Evans is on.

[Stargazer]

Great run from Alaimalo. His second. Looks promising.

[Machpants]

Canes def have wrong garden bishop

[Stargazer]

Renton is on as well for the Landers.

I think Ruben Love has now come on fro JGB?

Water-break.

[Stargazer]

Highlanders game is very quick now.

Fast pass Fakatava; great running line Josh Ioane. Connor GB dots down for another try.

[Tim]

Canes defence poor the last 10 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Finally a Canes attack, field wide open in front of Toala, and Fifita throws the pass to nowhere, going out.

someone is going to have to give me a highlanders XV based on performance

[Stargazer]

@tim I think it's mainly a result of too many, quick changes of players.

[Stargazer]

Highlanders line-out, not sure who caught the ball, but Lentjes in for another try.

[Machpants]

Line out into very quick maul try, 28-12 Ioane great conversion

[Stargazer]

Highlanders lead 28 to 12.

[Stargazer]

Leger is on; not sure who he has replaced. Love is playing at fullback.

[Stargazer]

Roigard has replaced Campbell. Visinia is on as well.

[Tim]

@stargazer Love looks handy.

[Machpants]

Another line-out maul into try, landers all over canes

Fidow and Numia off; Mafileo and Lomax on.

That should strengthen the scrum enormously.
