    Some firepower for the Highlanders as they try and knock over Super Rugby's top seeds in the quarter-final this weekend

    Some firepower for the Highlanders as they try and knock over Super Rugby's top seeds in the quarter-final this weekend


    All Blacks flanker Shannon Frizell has been named on the reserves, in his first match back from a knee injury that's kept him out for seven weeks.

    Hugh Renton starts at blindside with the southerners missing co-captain James Lentjes who is out with a shoulder complaint.

    Blues coach Leon MacDonald has predictably recalled his big guns to the run-on side after resting them against the Waratahs


    An emotional triumph for Ukraine to move to the cusp of qualifying for the FIFA World Cup Finals.

    Invaded by Russia in February, six of the starting 11 in this morning's playoff against Scotland hadn't played a football match this year.

    But Ukraine largely dominated to win 3-1 and set up a showdown against Wales on Monday morning for a place at the World Cup Finals.

    The semi finals have been set at Roland Garros with Casper Ruud through to a last four showdown with Marin Cilic in Paris.
