WELLINGTON: Super Rugby champions the Canterbury Crusaders recovered from a halftime deficit for the second week in a row on Friday to thrash the Otago Highlanders 43-17 and extend their unbeaten run at home to 24 matches.

The forwards got into the act when their pressure forced the award of a penalty try from a five-metre scrum in the 52nd minute, one of three tries in 10 minutes after the break that turned the match decisively in their favour. "The best thing is that we did and managed to come out on top of them. A battle against the neighbours is always a tough one and we missed one a few weeks ago so both teams were pretty excited about this."With the opening South Island derby of the season having been cancelled in the wake of the March 15 Christchurch mosque shootings, this was the Highlanders' first chance to lay out their stall against the nine-times champions.
