“We knew these guys were going to try to pin us down in our own half ... We want to pressure every team right across the board. To get the win is what you need and we got it.”

With a breathtaking blend of defensive grunt and attacking inspiration‚ the double defending champions kept their perfect home record in playoffs intact and extended their unbeaten winning streak at Rugby League Park to 29 matches.

All Black Mo'unga had an outstanding night‚ grabbing a try in each half and slotting all five conversions and an early penalty. “Obviously we prepared to come up here and give it our best shot and we were in it for most of the game‚" said Highlanders co-captain Luke Whitelock.The Crusaders came into the match after a week off and it showed in a scrappy opening quarter as they struggled with a few handling errors and a shaky set-piece.
