Highlanders

HighlandersHaving been founded in 1996, the Otago Highlanders are yet to win a Super Rugby title despite some strong season finishes in 1998,1999 and 2000. The Highlanders had their chance of Championship glory back in 1999 against the Canterbury Crusaders, where they hosted the final. Otago however lost the match 24-19 and have since failed to threaten for a Super Rugby title. The Highlanders finished third in the New Zealand conference in 2011 with eight wins and eight losses.
