The Highlanders ran in nine tries in Dunedin to hand the Stormers a 57-14 thumping in their Super rugby clash on Friday.
The Stormers, who lost 57-24 to the Canterbury Crusaders last week, scored the first and penultimate tries of the match through loose forward Nizaam Carr and replacement scrum-half Dewaldt Duvenage but fell to their third successive defeat as the Highlanders ran riot.
Fijian winger Patrick Osborne scored two tries and created another for centre Rob Thompson as the home side crossed five times in the first half on their way to their fifth straight win and a record points tally against the Stormers.
Winger Waisake Naholo and No 8 Liam Squire also crossed before the break with Naholo adding his second and flanker Dillon Hunt, replacement hooker Greg Pleasants-Tate and replacement back Matt Faddes also scoring in the second half.
