Highlanders fans need to buckle up for a bumpy ride once the final few weeks of the Super Rugby competition play out.

On Saturday night our Highlanders dropped the ball, literally, in an extremely important game which may come back to haunt them in a few weeks' time as we near finals footy.
Even as a loyal fan of the mighty Highlanders I would never have expected our boys to have six wins on the board from eight games after putting most of the opposing teams to the sword, including all New Zealand franchise teams.
With the Highlanders getting a much-deserved break this past week after being bashed around by those bloody Stormers, I thought it provided a great opportunity to let you in on what the lads have been up to aside from tearing apart the opposition and training the house down.
