 Steyn struggled with form early on in Super Rugby, but as the season progressed, he began to regain the form that first earned him Springbok honours.Once again though, Steyn was injured in the Sharks league match against the Highlanders in Dunedin, which they lost.Steyn would have to wait until the Currie Cup semi-final of 2013 against the Free State Cheetahs to make his next appearance.
