Highlanders Make It Six From Nine With Win Over Brumbies

The Highlanders have emerged with a 23-10 Super Rugby win over the Brumbies in Invercargill.

It's their sixth win of nine this season, but their first in three weeks after consecutive losses to the Reds and Sharks.

A try to Lima Sopoaga on the stroke of halftime put the southerners in front at the break, before Ben Smith scored early in the second half.

Sopoaga then banged over three penalty goals in the final 25 minutes to put the match out of reach for the visitors after they pulled to within four points through a try to Josh Mann-Rea.
