The Bulls have won 43 - 35 but not without some controversy on two of their tries.  Read the match report later on Sport 24.

28 Feb 2015

The ball moves forward from his arm, he didn't seem to be in control of that.  

28 Feb 2015

28 Feb 2015

HALF TIME AT LOFTUS

BULLS 23 - 16 SHARKS

Some great rugby so far but both teams guilty of some indiscipline by giving away unnecessary penalties. 

There will be some discussion about the TMO decision to let the Bulls first try stand after the pass from Kriel to Hougaard was deemed not to have traveled forward. The commentators felt it had.
