The Otago Highlanders set up a Super Rugby quarter-final meeting with the Auckland Blues by the narrowest of margins on Sunday after picking up a losing bonus point in their 31-30 defeat against the Melbourne Rebels to eke out a top eight finish.
The Highlanders were in control in the opening 20 minutes, with Rory van Vugt's third minute dive over the line putting the New Zealanders in front before they extended their lead when Marty Banks' kick eventually set up Josh Dickson to score. The Highlanders moved back to within three points when Marino Mikaele-Tu'u's driving run opened up the Rebels defence and his offload allowed Folau Fakatava to score.
