However, in round 6 we finally begin to see some blow outs in the score lines. Although, some of the games were closer than the margins would suggest as a couple of them finished on the back of a dominant second half by the victor. The Highlanders and Rebels were drawn at 12 all at half time, but the Highlanders put on 31 unanswered points in one of the most dominant halves in
