After going on the back foot after the first 10 minutes of the match the Highlander fought back through a sweeping movement that resulted in a Hayden Triggs try next to the posts.  Israel Dagg was in superb form with the boot, converting the Triggs try and then banging over 5 penalties in the first half.  The second half was put beyond doubt with a Kenny Lynn try in the 53 minute.  The Highlanders now turn their attention to the Chiefs next weekend!
