Diehard Highlanders fan Sam Senior (9) gives his take on the Highlanders' performance against the Crusaders.
51-18 was not the score we wanted but the Crusaders were just to good for us.
The chance for us making the play-off's just gets bigger and smaller - one week they are doing well, the next they just lose it.
When the kick-off started straight away I thought the Crusaders will score first.
After 10 minutes the Crusaders were in front 10-0 but then all of a sudden it was 13 all. That was when I had more hope about winning this game.
Then the score kept going up. Our lack of defence and attack just did not stop and by the end of 80 minutes it was 51-18 and that was how it remained.
Daniel Carter's cheeky little grubber kicks opened up the game for the Crusaders.
Andy Ellis and Zac Guildford played really well, opening up the little gaps.
Tamati Ellison played well for the Highlanders, also scoring a good try right beside the posts fending off Franks and Ryan Crotty.
