The Bulls and the Sharks left themselves vulnerable to top eight exclusion with away defeats in the United Rugby Championship (URC) on Saturday.
The Sharks went down 32-20 to the Scarlets in Llanelli and the Bulls followed their example with a 32-23 defeat at the hands of Ulster in Belfast.
The Bulls scored tries through Kurt-Lee Arendse and Zak Burger, while Chris Smit added three penalties and two conversions. “It was again a game where we let ourselves down because of our ill-discipline. Again, too many penalties that we put ourselves under pressure,” he said about their recidivism. “To win away from home against a Benetton team that is flying is big for us,” said head coach Ivan van Rooyen.
