Try time! Highlanders mid-fielder Tamati Ellison signals a try for team mate Phil Burleigh during tonight's Investec Super Rugby match between the Highlanders and the Crusaders played at the Forsyth Barr Stadium in Dunedin.
A near sell out crowd of over 23,000 were treated to a thrilling rugby match with plenty of scoring action and a classic nail-biting finish with the Highlanders the victors by 27-24 at full time.
