| | sport.iafrica.com today's news Blues out-muscle Highlanders |
 | | The Highlanders forwards were muscled off the ball in rucks and mauls, and while former Crusaders pivot Cameron McIntyre was able to make incisive breaks around Spencer, one leading to the Highlander's sole try by Danny Lee in the second half, too often the support was not there. |
 | | Highlanders: 15 Ben Blair, 14 Neil Brew, 13 Anthony Tuitavake, 12 Seilala Mapusua, 11 Matt Saunders, 10 Cameron McIntyre, 9 Jimmy Cowan, 8 Paul Miller, 7 Josh Blackie, 6 Craig Newby (vice-captain), 5 James Ryan, 4 Filipo Levi, 3 Carl Hayman, 2 Anton Oliver (captain), 1 Carl Hoeft. |
 | | The early points in the match all came from penalties as McAlister and Ben Blair traded shots at goal, and it was not until the 32nd minutes, with the score locked at 6-6, that the Blues crossed the line for the first time when Dave Gibson ran blind from a lineout and fed Keven Mealamu. |
