WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The red-hot Otago Highlanders ran in nine tries in a record 57-14 thumping of South Africa's Stormers in Dunedin on Friday to secure their fifth straight Super Rugby victory.

Fijian winger Patrick Osborne scored two tries and created another for centre Rob Thompson as the home side crossed five times in a first half blitz to set up a win which bettered the 52-25 hammering they handed the Stormers in 1996.
