The Pretoria franchise split their extended squad across the two matches and proved far too strong for the students.

After winning the first match 40-0 (half-time 21-0), the Bulls ran riot in the second one with a 96-5 (half-time 42-0) annihilation.

The Bulls will play the Lions in their Super Hero Sunday match at FNB Stadium next weekend, before opening their Super Rugby campaign against the Sharks in Durban on Friday, January 31.
