Six in a row: Reds v. Bulls review: "
The Matador corrals the Bulls |
What tougher test could there be to follow an undefeated tour of the Republic than a visit from defending champions the Bulls? They knew they were going to be up against a team with its nose out of joint after being embarrassed by the Crusaders last week. In the replay of last year’s season-defining match, it was all there to play for.
Both teams seemed to have positive intent right from the kick-off, and the low penalty count for both sides reflected the way they wanted to play. However, it was a penalty that led to the opening score: when Rob Simmons was judged offside, Morné Steyn fired for the poles and gave the Bulls the early lead.
