Aaron Smith breaks through the middle during the first half against the Crusaders in Dunedin. This breathless match, in which the Highlanders led 17-14 at the break, was no different. Five years to the day since their first and only Super Rugby title, the Highlanders threw everything and more at the Crusaders. Aaron Smith led the Highlanders out as captain and he was then their spark all night. For the Crusaders, Will Jordan continues to light up the New Zealand derby competition.
