Bulls director of rugby Jake White says his youthful team has overachieved by making it to the semifinals of the United Rugby Championship.
The Bulls defeated the Sharks 30-27 in the quarterfinals, in an epic encounter at a packed Loftus Versfeld at the weekend.
Both sides scored three tries, three conversions and two penalty goals, they were level at 27-27 at the 80-minute mark. The game swayed in the favour of the Bulls in stoppage time when flyhalf Chris Smith slotted in a dropkick in front of the poles to give his side the vital points needed to win the tough tie. Morne Steyn from the bench, was validated. The win for the Bulls means they will travel to Ireland to take on Leinster on Friday at the RDS Arena in Dublin.
