Morne Steyn adds another three points with a beautiful kick from the right of the posts on about the halfway line.

Steyn refinds his form from the tee to push the lead out to 10-6. Even contest so far, Highlanders giving as good as they get just currently having to rue their slow start

Bad man

Slade makes no mistake after the Highlanders earn a penalty at scrum time. 7-6 now the score in favour of the home side.

The Highlander's line-out is struggling early on as they lose another and in doing so throw away a good attacking position in the Bulls 22.

MackIntosh gives away a needless penalty for obstructing a kick chaser. Steyn surprisingly misses though and scores remain at 7-3.

Highlanders respond well by winning a penalty from a maul n the Bulls 10 metre line with Slade converts confidently.

Ominous signs early on as on-form Bulls turn over the Highlanders at the first break down and work it through the phases before Englebrecht crosses from close ranges.
