The Super Rugby clash between the Highlanders and Crusaders has been called off following the mosque attacks in Christchurch.
Christchurch – The Super Rugby clash between the Highlanders and the table-topping Crusaders was called off on Saturday as a mark of respect for those killed in the deadly mosque attacks in Christchurch.
The two teams were due to kick off in Dunedin (at 08:35 SA time), but the Christchurch-based Crusaders will now return home “to be with their community”.
The decision was made after meetings with both teams, venue management, and police.
