RUGBY MADE SIMPLE.
Draw the man and pass, then draw the next man and pass, and then draw the last man and pass.
The Highlanders had too much for their rival Chiefs this morning, coming out on top 24-14 to book a place in the semi-finals of Super Rugby.
Waisake Naholo scored two tries for the winners, and his first was a perfect execution of the basics.
He and Aaron Smith exchanged passes back and forth, moving through the Waikato defence like they were playing a video game.
The Highlanders now move onto the last four in the league, and will find out their opponents based on this afternoon’s game between the Brumbies and the Stormers.
A Brumbies win will see the Highlanders forced to go to Australia to face the defending champions the Waratahs, but they’ll face their New Zealand rivals the Hurricanes in the last four should the Stormers win this afternoon.
