Show Preview
The Highlanders take on Moana Pasifika in the first game of Round 8 in Super Rugby Pacific. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:05pm AEST.
The Highlanders narrowly lost to the Crusaders but the scoreboard made it look closer than it probably was with the Crusaders dominating the set piece.
The Highlanders welcome back Ethan de Groot and Jermaine Ainsley and they’ll be hopeful of piling on the points as unbackable favourites.
However, as we’ve seen this tournament the Moana side is no pushover and they’ve stayed in the fight for long periods against decent opposition.
