On the first weekend home teams the Lions and Bulls won, while the Stormers and Sharks lost on the road, but this weekend the Highveld sides backed that up with good wins again, while the coastal sides picked up their first wins of the competition in Italy and Wales.
What was even more impressive was that they all picked up bonus points, which will boost their prospects on the URC log going forward.
The Lions were again the most impressive SA team in action, as they enjoyed a record-breaking first-half, before sealing an emphatic 55-21 win over Edinburgh at Ellis Park, with wing Rabz Maxwane dotting down hat-trick.
