Fiji-born winger Mosese Dawai helped the Highlanders to a tense victory over the Crusaders in its Super Rugby Pacific pre-season match last night.
Dawai scored a try in the Highlanders 20-19 win over Waisake and Kini Naholo’s Crusaders side at Weston in New Zealand.
The Highlanders got off to a flying start with Dawai and hooker Liam Coltman crossing over for a try each, while Mitch Hunt landed three goals from as many attempts.
