May 5 ( Reuters) - Highlights from week 11 of Super Rugby:

CHEETAHS 41 HIGHLANDERS 45

Wing Waisake Naholo scored after the hooter to secure a remarkable comeback for the Otago Highlanders as they scored three tries in the final five minutes to snatch victory from their South African hosts.

The visitors trailed 41-24 going into the closing stages of the game, but as the home side tired, the Highlanders exploited the holes in their defence brilliantly as wing Tevita Li, fullback Matt Feddes and Naholo, with his second try of the match, secured the points.

The win sees the Highlanders claim a sixth Super Rugby victory in a row for the first time since 2005, and ensured a seventh straight loss for the limping Cheetahs.
