The Highlanders recovered from a slow start to beat the NSW Waratahs 26-19 in Dunedin earlier this morning in the Super 15 Championship down under. The Waratahs started the game well and raced into a 12-7 lead and the try that gave them that lead was greeted by the Highlanders mascot with a universally used action:

@BreytonPaulse @SuperSportTV Clearly the Highlanders' mascot didn't approve of the Tahs' try #SSRugby #SuperRugby pic.twitter.com/Z0fO0YGwM1

Fairly harmless and amusing stuff, one question though - why is the Highlanders mascot wearing what appears to be a Kyrie Irving Cleveland Cavalier jersey?
