Brown believes Highlanders not far away from a complete performance

Highlanders coach Tony Brown knows his side won’t start as favourites against the table-topping Crusaders on Friday night but believes they are not far away from a complete performance.

Brown said his side had failed to execute when they had the possession and territory against the Hurricanes, especially inside the 22 metre area.

Brown says they have got a young squad and it's just a matter of keeping at it, keep putting in the effort and they will get the result.

The Highlanders will take on the Crusaders at 6.05pm Friday while the Blues play the Hurricanes at 6.05pm Saturday.
