Hurricanes (3) 14 / Bulls (15) 26 (Final Score)
The Hurricanes hosted the Bulls at McLean Park, Napier at 08:35 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Bulls started well with the wind and the early penalties as well as 2 Morné Steyn drop goals set up a good early lead. After that the canes were always playing catch-up rugby and eventually the Bulls ground out a 12-point win, in New Zealand.

11 Steyn finds touch but it is taken quickly and Jane carries it up. They string some passes together before the ball is stolen and the Hurricanes are blown up for not rolling away. The Bulls drive it from the line-out and then set up the crash runners but the ball is lost in the tackle and the Hurricanes will have a scrum.
Droppie by Morné… over
Bulls 6 / 0

Penalty Bulls, within range again
13 The Hurricanes engage early and the Bulls take it quickly, they seem to be keen to hold on to the ball. Steyn drops back and nails the DROP-GOAL which doubles the lead.
Go Bulls!!

Bulls 9 / 0
Wat se geluide kom uit die skare tydens die Skop. Klink soos gorrilas in the mist se klankbaan
15 Hougaard secures it and Matfield releases Stegmann with a good inside ball. Gary Botha provides good support as the Bulls get on the front foot. The Hurricanes fail to release in the tackle and Steyn will take aim at the poles. No mistake with the PENALTY from Steyn.
15@ fender:
Mooi so Kitaartjie… goed om jou ndersteuning te kry hier!
17 Du Preez hoists it high but the Hurricanes secure it although they are under pressure from the Bulls. The defenders go offside and the Hurricanes set up the attacking line-out.
dis mos nie snorvember nie
Ek hou van die Bulls se aggrsiewe tackling vandag.
Penalty Canes, bit too far to go for posts, I think
19 The throw is not straight and the Bulls will have the scrum. Olivier gets over the advantage line but the ball is lost and the Hurricanes counter with Gear doing well. The Bulls knock it on in the tackle and the Hurricnaes have the scrum.
gbs elton en jan was baie nicer as die rooi paint gedoente
20 They carry it over halfway and they are making good ground, the Bulls go offside and Kirkpatrick will have a shot at goal.

Another droppie for Morne, punishhhhhhhhment!
