yellow card - Ranger for the Blues is off.. now the shoe is firmly on the other foot. Vainikolo makes an instant impact for the Highlanders with a great run after coming on as a sub..

Brett is having a shocker tonight with his boot
penalty clearance from his 22 not out and Vainikolo promptly brings it right back up in attack!!

That's it! The Blues win 19-15. That ten-minute burst early in the half won the game for the Blues. The Highlanders will have to settle for a losing bonus point. That's hard luck

Very impressed by young Hobbs, he had a blinder.
Happy for my tip but feel for the Highlanders.
