The Highlanders followed a tense win against the Chiefs with a squeaky victory over the Reds. But Highlanders assistant coach Mark Hammett is not content with the way his side has been playing. "We're happy with the eight points but we're way off where we know we can be,'' Hammett said. One of the areas the Highlanders will need to work on is their lineout communication. The Reds also exposed a few holes in the Highlanders' defensive line.
