The Highlanders have scored one of their best wins in recent memory with a 34-18 win over the table-topping Sharks in Durban this morning.
The Highlanders led 24-12 at halftime and scored four tries to bag a bonus point.
Richard Buckman, Aaron Smith and Shane Christie all crossed over in the first half before Malakai Fekitoa showed considerable skills in scything through the home defence for a bonus point fourth try with 10 minutes left.
First-fibe Lima Sopoaga produced a 100 percent return from the boot with four conversions and two penalties.
The win pushes the side into the top six, and is just the second loss of the season for the Sharks.
Highlanders 34 (Richard Buckman, Aaron Smith, Shane Christie, Malakai Fekitoa tries; Lima Sopoaga 2 pen, 4 con) Sharks 18 (Tim Swiel 6 pen). Halftime: 24-12
