Richie Mo'unga proved the old adage of a try saved is as good as a try scored, coming to the rescue in Crusaders' 40-20 victory over the Highlanders.
In the second half, and with the Crusaders holding on to a 21-17 lead, the Highlanders had the chance to hit the front, camped in their opponents' 22.
As Highlanders winger Jona Nareki appeared nailed on to score a try, Mo'unga appeared to smash the winger and force a knock on.
From there, the Crusaders didn't relent, running in a series of second half tries to claim South Island bragging rights over the Highlanders once again.
