Highlanders first five‑eighth Fletcher Smith landed a last‑gasp penalty to kick his team to a 50‑47 win against the Waratahs in Sydney last night.
The 35m strike after the final hooter ensured the Dunedin‑based franchise finished their pre‑season with a win, having previously lost to the Crusaders and been bundled out in the Brisbane Tens quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, the Highlanders will take on the Chiefs in their first match of the 2017 Super Rugby Season at 6.45pm next Friday, while the Rebels host the Blues in the first match of the season at 8.45pm next Thursday.
