Forsyth Barr Stadium

The Chiefs narrowly defeated the Highlanders 26-23 in a closely contested Super Rugby match at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Jona Nareki opened the scoring for the Highlanders with a try in the second minute, followed by a successful conversion from Cameron Millar. The Chiefs responded quickly with tries from Samisoni Taukei'aho and Leroy Carter, both converted by Josh Jacomb, taking the lead by halftime. In the second half, both teams traded tries, with notable performances from Taukei'aho, who scored twice, and Caleb Tangitau, who added a try for the Highlanders. Nareki's yellow card early in the second half proved costly for the Highlanders as they struggled to maintain momentum. A late try from Veveni Lasaqa brought the Highlanders close, but it was not enough to secure victory. The Chiefs continued their dominance over the Highlanders, having won their last three encounters.
