Though the Bulls rumbled with intent in certain passages, they were unable to contain Ulster in the moments that mattered. They faded in the second half, partly due to poor discipline. Though the Bulls stayed in the contest, a yellow card to Bismarck du Plessis also undermined them in the closing minutes.
In Llanelli, Sharks director of rugby Neil Powell lamented his team’s poor discipline that saw them slip to a third straight defeat in the URC. Earlier on Saturday, the Lions did them a huge favour by downing Benetton in Treviso and keeping their slim top-eight hopes alive. The Lions turned things around in the last 20 minutes. “That is probably how we need to start against Racing,” Van Rooyen said about next weekend’s Challenge Cup knockout match against Racing 92 in Johannesburg.
