2023 Farmlands Cup: Highlanders vs Crusaders (Preseason) Kick off at 5:30pm

The Crusaders and Highlanders will have a pre-season showdown on Friday 10 February 2023 in Weston, North Otago for the Farmlands Cup.

Through this annual event, Farmlands brings the great rivalry between the Crusaders and Highlanders to a different South Island rural community every year. In the last six years, the prized silverware has travelled to Waimumu, Darfield, Southbridge, Wanaka and Temuka.

The Valley Rugby Club in Weston (about six kilometres from Oamaru) was set to host some of the biggest names in rugby before Covid-19 interrupted plans. Farmlands is pleased to be able to deliver on its promise to the Weston community.
