HIGHLIGHTS-Super Rugby week five

March 24 (Reuters) - Highlights from week five of Super Rugby: REBELS 25 WARATAHS 32 Centre David Horwitz weaved through the Rebels defence for a dramatic winning try in the final seconds as the Waratahs overturned a 19-point deficit in the second half to snap a three-game losing streak. Two tries, two penalties and two conversions from centre Reece Hodge and another five-pointer from winger Tom English had given the home side a 25-6 lead at the break. Flanker Ned Hanigan, winger Reece Robinson and replacement loose forward Michael Wells all crossed for the 2014 champions in the second half to bring the scores level with two minutes remaining and set up a thrilling finish. CRUSADERS 45 FORCE 17 Scott Barrett underlined his versatility that should make All Blacks coach Steve Hansen take notice as he produced a tireless effort at blindside flanker in the Crusaders' win over the Force in Christchurch. Digby Ioane, Matt Todd, Luke Romano, Codie Taylor, David Havili and Ben Funnell also crossed for the home side with flyhalf Mitch Hunt slotting four conversions, while replacement Marty McKenzie added another. Wingers Alex Newsome and Chance Peni crossed for the Force with flyhalf Jonno Lance converting both tries and adding a penalty.
