Bulls beat Benetton to reach URC semi-finals yet again
By PA
The Bulls booked their place in the United Rugby Championship semi-finals with a 30-23 victory over Benetton at Loftus Versfeld.
Beaten finalists in 2022, the South African side scored after just 25 seconds through the first of two Kurt-Lee Arendse tries, with David Kriel also going over. Johan Goosen converted all three tries and also landed three penalties.
Benetton, in the play-offs for only the second time and first since 2019, stayed in the game throughout with tries from Onisi Ratave, Tomas Albornoz and Malakai Fekitoa, with Rhyno Smith adding one conversion and kicking two penalties, but the Bulls held on.

Move on from the old guard. They are not world-beaters. Based on this development path and current selection policy they will suddenly realise in 2026 that they need to bring in players that are capable of being world-beaters by 2027, but it will be too late.
