Play continued for at least 4 minutes after the final hooter… this side attacking, then that one, then the other again.

Good end to the game from a playing perspective.

The Bulls move up to 36 Log Points… with one last game left against their archrivals, the Emirates Lions, at Loftus Versfeld.

Highlanders up to 31 Log Points… not enough for them

From a Bulls perspective, they will be hoping the Emirates Lions will lose to the Hurricanes in Joburg tomorrow… and Los Jaguares beat the Cell C Sharks in Argentina tomorrow.

That will place the Bulls in 2nd spot in the SA Conference… with 1 Round to go. It will set up a massive game between the Vodacom Bulls vs Emirates Lions in the Final Round.
