Teams are out for the second half

The Highlanders take a 17-6 lead over the Crusaders into halftime. The Crusades dominated both territory and possession, but it was the Highlanders who crossed for the only two tries of the half, while the Crusaders could only manage two penalties. It's been frantic and physical with all to play for in the second forty.

Ball unplayable and that will be halftime
