Attack is now Bulls watchword

Johannesburg - The Vodacom Bulls made a conscious decision to attack the Emirates Lions strengths during the Vodacom Super Rugby game on Saturday, thereby setting the precedent for their month long overseas tour that awaits.

According to the supersport.com website, with points at a premium and the Bulls benefitting from the DHL Stormers’ loss in Bloemfontein this past weekend, the team decided to take the attack to the Lions, not only to try and secure the bonus point on offer, but also to set the trend for a crucial tour that will decide their fate in this year’s competition.

The Bulls are now four points ahead of the Stormers in the South African conference, and second on the overall log. But while they are on a bye this week preparing for the long flight to Australasia, the Stormers have home games ahead of them and a definite advantage when it comes to finishing the season with more preferable fixtures.
