Good one today featuring a South Island clash between the Highlanders and the inaugural Super Rugby Aotearoa champions Crusaders.

The Crusaders jumped out to a two converted try lead, but the Clan battled back to trail by one point. They may have gone into the sheds with a lead at halftime had they decided to take the penalty shots on offer. After kicking for the corner and lineouts the Crusader defense proved too strong and the Highlanders were unable to convert good territory into a try.

As has been the case since ages ago the Canterbury side showed their class in the second half and came away with a 26-13 victory.
