The Crusaders have once again shown why they are the best team in this year’s Super Rugby competition as they came from behind to beat the Highlanders 25-22 to maintain their unbeaten run this afternoon.
Trailing 22-19 with four minutes to go replacement flyhalf Mitchell Hunt scored a penalty to level scores.
With time up on the clock and after numerous phases, Hunt kicked a massive drop kick from just inside the Highlanders half to give the Crusaders victory.
The Crusaders led 19-10 at half time.
