The Highlanders have slipped down the Super Rugby standings after a 34‑22 defeat to the Stormers this morning.
The Highlanders were hardly in the contest against the Stormers, with a Matt Faddes yellow card for a dangerous tip tackle not helping their cause as they fell into a 17‑3 hole at halftime.
Things are not as rosy for the Highlanders, who will certainly drop further down the table after next week's bye.
In other matches, the Jaguares defeated the Waratahs 23-15, the Crusaders beat the Blues 19-11, the Rebels thrashed the Sunwolves 52-7 while the Sharks defeated the Lions 27-17.
