Super Round begins with the Crusaders doing battle with the Highlanders at Melbourne’s AAMI Park. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 6pm (AEDT).

The Crusaders have won nine of their past 10 Super Rugby matches against the Highlanders, including the last two.

The reigning champions are looking to avoid opening a season with back-to-back losses for the first time since 2014, after their upset opening-round loss to the Chiefs.

The Highlanders are smarting from a thumping 60-20 loss at the hands of the Blues, and will be out to make a statement of intent on the road.
