Bulls (40) 47 / Rebels (3) 10 (Final Score)
The Bulls hosted the Melbourne Rebels at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria, at 17:05 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 blitzed the Melbourne Rebels in the first half, scoring 6 tries to none, but the second half was a dour affair with lots of replacements disrupting all rythm in the game and therefor the second half only produced 7 points for each of the 2 sides.
Job done and mission accomplished by the Bulls, 5 Log points in the bag.
Scorers:
Bulls: 6 Conversions Morné Steyn, 3 Tries Wynand Olivier, 2 Tries Zane Kirchner, 1 Try Bjorn Basson, 1 Try Fourie du Preez
Rebels: 1 Penalty & 1 Conversion Julian Huxley, 1 Try Cooper Vuna
