The Bulls are coming into this game after a massive 55-15 win over Dragons RFC. The action started early, with the home team leading 26-0 within the first 40 minutes. Around the same time, the Bulls’ Under-21 team faced the Sharks at Kings Park for the SA Under-21 Cup. They lost the first half narrowly, 7-8. Before that, the Bulls played Cardiff Rugby and showed their strong style of play. It was a masterclass from the Vodacom Bulls fullback, who provided a hat-trick of assists at Loftus. In the fifth try for the Blue Bulls, Sebastian de Klerk crashed over early in the second half. The team was running riot. Moodie chipped the ball perfectly, Vorster collected it, and it was try time for the Vodacom Bulls. Out of nowhere, Le Roux reacted quickly, scooped up the ball, and set Moodie up for his first try.
