The Highlanders and the Crusaders are set to face off in Round 11 of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season as they look to pass the Brumbies for third place.
The Highlanders have had a massively disappointing season so far, as they have found some struggles to maintain consistent runs of wins. They took two wins in their first three games but have since faced defeat in five of their previous six clashes and now sit third last on the ladder.
The Crusaders, on the other hand, have been in fabulous form this season as they look to return to the knockout stages with their 2024 season having disappointed as they looked to defend their 2023 Super Rugby Pacific. They are currently second on the ladder with seven wins in nine games.
