Bulls 47

Ulster 21

SPRINGBOK VETERAN WILLIE le Roux put on an attacking masterclass as his Vodacom Bulls side smashed Ulster to complete a seven-try romp, winning 47-21 in their United Rugby Championship match at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

Le Roux’s tactical nuance, and the combination of power and pace from the Bulls, linked up with the altitude advantage to ensure the Bulls used their home ground to good advantage and sealed the win with three second-half tries, while leading throughout.

Ulster’s best moment came from Jacob Stockdale in the first half, where a solo try saw the power of the winger in full flight, while two late tries made a one-sided scoreline look much more respectable for Richie Murphy’s side.
