	Otago Highlanders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Highlanders (formerly known as Otago Highlanders), are a rugby union team from New Zealand.
		The Highlanders take their name from the fact that Otago, North Otago, and Southland were founded by Scottish emigrants in the 1840s and 1850s and the name "Highlander" was seen to conjure up images of loyalty, strength, honesty and hard work.
		The team logo depicts a rampant Highlander brandishing in one hand a shield and in the other a claymore; it is intended as a symbolic indication of equal attention being paid to defence and attack.

		Gilbert, Gray said, would be involved in helping achieve the overall goal of positioning Highlanders and Otago rugby at the very top of New Zealand professional rugby.
		In his two years as Highlanders coach, they made the semi-finals in 1998, where they lost to the Blues, and hosted the Final in 1999, when they were beaten by the Crusaders.
		In particular his experience with Otago Highlanders, and developing them into a Super 12 outfit, has been a huge benefit to us in our first two years.

		Blair added the conversion for the Highlanders to lead 10-9 at halftime, and the fullback pounced on every opportunity after the break, adding two more long-range penalties as the New Zealand side survived heavy pressure from the Cats.

		As far as I've seen so far, Northland and Otago may be the only two provinces with a standardised flag used at sporting occasions, rather than any odd combination of the provincial colours.
		So Otago's main soccer team, for example, wears a gold shirt with blue shorts, and Wellington's hockey team wears fl and gold.
		The colours of these teams are also similar to the rugby teams: blue and gold for Otago, red and fl for Canterbury, fl and yellow for Wellington, blue & white for Auckland; maroon and yellow for ND...

		The Highlanders, on the other hand, followed up that largely irrelevant opening win with a loss to the Chiefs and a victory over the Reds as they completed a mixed bag of preparations.
