Super 14 Rugby - Highlanders v Western Force

The Highlanders will meet the Western Force at the Queenstown Events Centre on Saturday 10 April with a 2.30pm kick off.

This round 9 clash will be an important home game for the Highlanders as they make their run to the post-season semis and finals.

The Highlanders has a settled squad in 2010 with 21 of the 2009 team returning for the new campaign. Coach Glenn Moore has some sublime talent in the ranks with the return of new All Black Ben Smith, youngster Israel Dagg and the Southland rookie, Robbie Robinson adding flair to an exciting backline. The 2010 pack will see the All Black trio of Adam Thompson, Jimmy Cowan and Tom Donnelly return after starring on the All Blacks Telecom Northern Tour and this form will add to the attacking weaponry of the team.
