Yesterday morning featured one of the most entertaining three minutes of rugby in the Hurricanes and Blues Super Rugby game, and it
signaled that after a shortened pre-season that all the thrills and spills of Super Rugby, it was finally igniting.
Well then, this morning brought the first "I've so happy I got up for this" moment in the 2015 season.
Why? No it wasn't this gesture from the Highlanders mascot. It was thanks to this long range try from the Highlanders.
It had everything, the decision to go from a turnover, using width and quickly to stop the defence from setting, and some ridiculous offloads all while Patrick Osborne (who makes the initial break) finishes off after the Waratahs defender Jacques Potgeiter rushes out of the line.
The Highlanders have a history of scoring awesome tries
Rugby can be entertaining.
