Highlanders with all the territorial advantage and a lot of possession.
Landers scrum on halfway.
Landers penalty advantage… and penalty given, inside the Bulls 22.
Posts… easy one.
Bulls 5 / 10 Highlanders
Aaron Smith with a brilliant touchfinder… once again pinning the Bulls right back in their 22.
Libbok clears to just inside the Bulls half.
Bulls simple error… no plans… just trying and failing…
22m Drop out by the Bulls… Landers simply want to play in Bulls territory… that is their only game plan.
Bulls finally on the Landers 22…
Then the expected knock.
Lemoenetyd
Bulls will have to get more possession and play more ball in hand… and get to within striking distance.
I said yesterday, that Super Rugby… and all rugby for that matter these days is about accuracy.
Both these sides are showing why they are bottom-dwellers… with their absolute inaccuracy!
The studio guests scathing of the play of both sides.
2nd Half ON!
Bulls have put on totally different shirts…
22m Drop out by the Bulls, after a kick was charged down and then dotted down.
Landers 5m out…
Landers penalty, 5m out… never supporting weight.

I thought the penalty should have gone the other way.
Bulls 5 / 13 Highlanders
Very good take in the air by Gelant.
Terrible pass by Gelant… out to touch
Again the Landers play for territory.
Bulls 10m out… playing with the ball for a while…
Bulls penalty.
Grass-cutter tackle on Marco van Staden… but the penalty was for offside.
Libbok kicks it right into the corner… Bulls will have to be accurate here!
Try Warrick Gelant… finally!
Bulls 12 / 13 Highlanders
Massive Bulls scrum… tighthead…
They counter…
Bulls 10m out… 13 phases…
Try Rosko Specman, Bulls!
Now THAT was better… and patient… and accurate!
Bulls 19 / 13 Highlanders
