Thousands of rugby fans pack Molyneux Park in Alexandra yesterday to watch a pre-season clash between Highlanders and NSW Waratahs.

A crowd of about 4000 fans watched the local team beat the Australians by 59 points to 38 during a warm and clear Central Otago evening.

It is the first time a fully professional Super Rugby match has been played at the ground, which only a month ago was hosting domestic twenty20 cricket games.
