The Highlanders will look ahead and now focus on the Blues after their biggest game of the season was cancelled on Saturday. It is the second time the Crusaders have had a fixture cancelled. No-one from the Highlanders could be contacted yesterday but it is expected the franchise would have insurance to cover the loss of income from the cancelled match. The Highlanders next game is against the Blues in Auckland this Friday night. The Crusaders remain at the top of the ladder and the Highlanders sit seventh but it is early days in the competition.
