Bulls smash Cell C Sharks at Loftus
The two Vodacom Super Rugby Unlocked matches that were played this weekend could not have been more different, with the Vodacom Bulls laying down a marker in Pretoria on October 24 and the DHL Stormers sneaking through in Nelspruit on October 23.
The third match, between the Emirates Lions and Toyota Cheetahs that was scheduled to take place in Johannesburg on Saturday, was called off. If the fixture cannot be rescheduled both teams will take two log points.
As a result of the Vodacom Bulls’ dominant 41-14 victory over the Cell C Sharks at Loftus Versfeld, the men from Pretoria have shot to the top of the standings with 10 points from three games. The Toyota Cheetahs are second on nine points from their two games.
The DHL Stormers, who were behind on the scoreboard for more than 70 minutes against a plucky Phakisa Pumas outfit at the Mbombela Stadium on Friday evening, but snuck a win with a flurry of converted tries at the end, occupy third spot on eight points.
The win for the Capetonians ensured that they remained one of only two unbeaten teams in the competition after the first three rounds of play. The other team is the Toyota Cheetahs.
