Bulls claim first win of northern tour
By PA
The Bulls scored five second-half tries to pick up the first win of their northern hemisphere tour as they triumphed 44-22 at Benetton.
Jake White’s men were back in Treviso for the first time since suffering a shock defeat to the same opponents in the final of the one-off Rainbow Cup in June 2021.
They trailed 9-3 at half-time this time around but crossed through Ruan Nortje, Elrigh Louw, Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Marcell Coetzee and Stravino Jacobs after the break to claim maximum points following consecutive losses at Glasgow Warriors and Munster.
Benetton’s only try came courtesy of Manuel Zuliani as they suffered a first home defeat since April, while Tomas Albornoz kicked 17 points.
Chris Smith contributed 13 points to the Bulls’ cause, with replacement Morne Steyn accounting for six.

Yet, the Bok players return to the international fold, hardened and as we saw, ready to play. Its a mindset as much as a lighter weight competition.
