DUNEDIN, New Zealand (AP) The Highlanders extended their Super Rugby winning streak to nine games with a 44-28 win over the New South Wales Waratahs on Saturday, scoring two tries while the Australian side was down to 14 men during the second half.
The Waratahs scored the second of two first-half tries on the tick of halftime to take a 14-13 lead to the break. But the sin-binning of lock Dean Mumm for a dangerous lifting tackle in the 45th minute proved costly and the Highlanders needed only a minute to take advantage, scoring a try to hooker Liam Coltman to reclaim the lead.
