REUTERS: The Otago Highlanders emerged from a frantic first half to notch up a 59-23 win over the New South Wales Waratahs in Dunedin on Saturday to secure a bonus point and pull level with the Canterbury Crusaders in the Super Rugby Trans Tasman series.

Five of those tries were scored in the opening 21 minutes, with the Highlanders picking up their first with less than two minutes on the clock when Michael Collins sprinted through to finish off a move that started at the line-out. The teams continued to trade tries as Mark Nawaqanitawase scored for the Waratahs before Ethan De Groot popped over the line for the Highlanders' third try in the 21st minute and give them two-point lead.Another Harrison penalty briefly swung the scoreboard back in the Waratahs' favour but tries from Ash Dixon and Jona Nareki finally established a 10-point half-time advantage for the Highlanders.
