    Bragging rights for the Highlanders over their near neighbours in Super Rugby Pacific

    Bragging rights for the Highlanders over their near neighbours in Super Rugby Pacific


    The Southern Men have swept their pre-season fixtures with today's come-from-behind win over the Crusaders in Invercargill.

    For the second week running the Highlanders put on a big second half ... they won 29-24, after trailing 19-10 at halftime at Rugby Park.

    The Crusaders have now lost both their warm-up fixtures.
