Equally expected was the energy and heart the Sunwolves brought as they did their level best to compensate for their lack of physicality, cohesion and class. And that's why one should take any particular joy in the Highlanders victory - not even the Highlanders who know they spent the first 50 minutes being loose, unstructured and a little ill-disciplined. It was probably more than 50 minutes really. They didn't have much shape or direction in the first 50 minutes, but even once they fixed that, their game was beset by wild moments and sloppiness.
