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

Bulle, gee balle vir die vinnige vleuels.
Rebels handling is letting them down big time, and forward passing almost in every move
Bulls looking composed and hungry!
Penalty Bulls, just inside the Rebels half, about 15 in from the side
Skop hoek toe, oefen die dryfbewegings.
Missed to the left by Morne
