Spies concerned, but confident

Pretoria - In the wake of their second consecutive defeat at home, the Bulls seem to be taking one step forward and two step backwards with the Hurricanes beating the hosts 17-13 at Loftus Versfeld on Friday.

Bulls coach Frans Ludeke conceded that their struggles at the scrums and lineouts were further compounded by giving away turnovers at the rucks.

"It was a tight contest going down to the wire and in a contest like that small margins make a huge difference," Ludeke said.
