The Highlanders rugby side will not take things for granted when playing the Knights in the Colonial Cup semifinal this afternoon.

Coach Jo Toakula said although they will go into the match as favourites, anything can happen in the 80 minutes and everything entirely depends on the players and how they perform on the field.

Toakula said the rainy weather could also affect today's match as they won't be able to play running rugby but will try their best to be in the final next week.
