A Super Saturday of Super Rugby kicks off when the Highlanders host the Crusaders at Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin. Join us here for live scores and updates from 3:35pm AEST.
This is an important game for both teams as the quest for the playoffs continues.
The Highlanders, currently sitting in second place in the New Zealand conference and fifth overall, are coming off a fantastic away win against conference rivals the Hurricanes last week.
That victory was built around a massive defensive effort, and they will be looking to keep the pressure on the Chiefs, who sit atop the New Zealand conference, with a win today.
The Crusaders, in stark contrast, have come off a disappointing loss at home to the table-topping Sharks.
They will be heading to Dunedin with the intention of putting that performance firmly in the rear view mirror.
Currently sitting in third place in the conference, the Crusaders will not want to lose touch with the teams at the top of the log.
The southern derby is historically one of the most intense and hard fought rivalries in Super Rugby.
This match shapes up as an absolute classic as the playoffs loom large and southern bragging rights on the line.
