JULIAN Savea stunned the Otago Highlanders on their home turf with a try six minutes from time to secure a rousing 26-20 victory for the Hurricanes in their all-New Zealand Super 15 rugby match in Dunedin yesterday and keep the Wellington side's playoff hopes alive.
The jet-heeled winger fended off prop Chris King then burned away from a clutch of defenders to plant the ball at the right corner and silence a boisterous crowd under the transparent roof of Forsyth Barr Stadium. The win kept the Hurricanes within striking distance of the top six and left the shocked Highlanders vulnerable to tumbling out of it, should the Sharks beat the Perth-based Western Force at home in Durban. In another match, the Melbourne Rebels stunned the visiting defending champions Canterbury Crusaders 28-19.
