Highlanders vs Crusaders Preview

There are no certainties in world sport but the Crusaders in Super Rugby are about as close to one as you can find.

They won the inaugural edition of Super Rugby Aotearoa in a canter and open up their 2021 campaign against the Highlanders.

History points to one outcome here and it is not a pretty picture for the Highlanders.

The Crusaders have won the last six meetings between these teams by an average of 20.5 points with the smallest margin of victory being 10 points.

With the line as less than a converted try, I’ll happily back the Crusaders to cover.
