Losing by two points in Pretoria to last year’s losing finalists the Bulls.

It was a heart-breaking loss for Mike Blairs side, but their performance showed that they could well be title contenders this season.

Once again it was Morne Steyn who landed a last-minute drop goal to get his side a famous victory at his long-time home of Loftus Versfeld.

In an entertaining back and forth contest there were several highlights but none more so than this piece of magic from giant Fijian Bill Mata.
