The Highlanders came from behind to edge out the Chiefs in the first match of the season and they overcame another scare in Dunedin, where the Reds showed plenty of promise but started the campaign with a defeat.

Aaron Mauger’s men produced some slick handling for the opening try – scored by Rob Thompson – and led 24-17 at the break after New Zealand duo Shannon Frizell and Ben Smith also touched down.

The Reds also showed their attacking quality with a well-worked score from Chris Feauai-Sautia and a Moses Sorovi try, set up by a brilliant inside pass from Sefanaia Naivalu.

Frizzell’s second five-pointer early in the second half gave the Highlanders breathing space, but the Reds hit the front following tries from Izack Rodda and Feao Fotuaika – Bryce Hegarty converting the latter to take his tally to nine points.

Hunt claimed the decisive try six minutes from time, though, Dan Lienert-Brown setting up the back row, and Josh Ioane adding the extras for the fourth time in a pulsating tussle.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
