Vodafone Flying Fijians centre Nemani Nadolo scored a try for the Crusaders as they defeated the Highlanders 32-30.

Fiji born Patrick Osborne also scored for the Highlanders but it was not enough as the Crusaders bounced back in style after their loss to the Sharks last week.
 
Meanwhile the Chiefs hopes of winning their third successive Super Rugby title suffered a blow when they were hammered 45-8 by the Hurricanes in Wellington last night.

The Chiefs started the round in third place and on top of the New Zealand conference but have dropped out of the top six and are now second last in the Conference.

The Hurricanes outscored the current champions by six tries to one in the clash.

In other results, the Stormers thrashed the Cheetahs 33-0 while the Force defeated the Lions 22-19.
