Highlanders go into Bulls clash with humble expectations

5:43 pm on 13 March 2010

The Highlanders are focussed on getting any points they can from tomorrow morning's Super 14 rugby clash against the Bulls in Pretoria.(SUN 4.05am NZT)

The assistant coach, Peter Russell, says the unbeaten Bulls will be tough, and his team will be without the suspended Adam Thompson and Michael Hobbs.

But Russell says the Highlanders, who have lost one and won one game in South Africa, are focussed on getting what points they can on tour.

He says the Bulls are coming off a bye and have a couple of players out with injury, so there is a chance for the Highlanders to get something from the game.
