We are all set for kick off.

The two sides make their way out.

Welcome to Ultimate Rugby's coverage of the opening game of the Weekend. The defending Champions host the Highlanders with the Landers getting their first win over the season with a nailing biting win over the Brumbies last week while the Crusaders bounced back after a loss to the Chiefs.

The Crusaders host the Highlanders to kickstart round 4 of Super Rugby. The Crusaders have won two of their three matches to sit second in the New Zealand Conference, while the Highlanders have recorded a single victory from their two games to currently bring up the rear in the Conference.
