Highlanders overcome Bulls

The Highlanders scored a gutsy 27-20 comeback win over the Bulls in Dunedin last night.

Down 13-3 after 22 minutes, the Highlanders eased back into the match with a converted Lima Sopoaga try and penalty to draw level before halftime.

They carried their momentum into the second half and two more converted tries sealed the result before the Bulls claimed a competition bonus point with a converted try in the 81st minute.

In another match, the Brumbies survived a second half comeback from the Reds to secure a 23-20 victory also last night.

At 7.35pm tonight, the Chiefs play the Rebels while at 9.40 the Force meet the Waratahs.
