Blue Bulls floor Falcons

Johannesburg - The Blue Bulls, Vodacom Cup semi-finalists last year, emphatically announced their intent with a 37-13 victory (half-time 17-6) over the Falcons in Kempton Park on Friday in the opening match of the 2015 series, the supersport.com website reports.

Using such heavy guns as Springboks Arno Botha and Akona Ndungane, as part of their injury rehabilitation, they scored five tries to one from the over-enthusiastic and over-ambitious Falcons.

The Falcons looked determined to take the fight to the Bulls, going wide from every set piece and being rewarded with an early penalty. But they had only themselves to blame for falling so far behind.
