Northward bound: Still the right move for South African rugby?
So the dust has settled on the inaugural United Rugby Championship tournament, with the Stormers celebrating a deserved first championship win over the Bulls…
The Bulls racked up 50 points for the third time this season in thrashing the Highlanders 50-35 and reclaiming the lead in Super 14 rugby on Saturday.
Although they scored seven tries, the Bulls conceded five to the Highlanders.
Fullback Israel Dagg grabbed a hat-trick and kicked two conversions for a personal tally of 22 points.
But a pair of tries each for winger Francois Hougaard and No.8 Pierre Spies meant the Bulls were clear, especially after they opened out a 21-0 lead after 12 minutes, and led 36-14 at halftime.
