Bulls will travel to Italy for the Rainbow final after seeing off Kolisi's Sharks
By PA
The Bulls booked their place in the Guinness PRO14 Rainbow Cup final with a 34-22 victory over the Sharks in Durban. Jake White's men held a four-point advantage over their hosts heading into the clash and finished the job with a bonus-point victory in their final match of the league stage.
Cornal Hendricks, David Kriel, Stravino Jacobs and Janko Swanepoel crossed for the Bulls, who will now head to Treviso to take on northern section victors Benetton next weekend. JJ van der Mescht had scored the game's first try for the Sharks, who also saw Springboks captain Siya Kolisi and Anthony Volmink touch down.
The win for the Bulls leaves the Sharks third behind the Stormers at the end of the competition after the Cape Town outfit were awarded four points following the cancellation of their match with fourth-placed Lions.

Go to commentsThink it was a great defensive performance by Northampton. They didn't have stage fright in the first half, the Nienaber defense smothered them. They limited Leinster to 15-3 in the first half. It could have been over by then. A great try from Leinster in the start of the second half looked to have sealed it. But Byrne missed another conversion. Northampton started trying little kicks behind the Leinster wingers. Leinster messed one and Smith brilliantly made the conversion. Leinster decided to tighten the game after Byrne missed a straight forward penalty. A few errors got NH into the 22 and they scored and converted with a few minutes left. Another brilliant steal from Lawes saw NH have a final attack which was turned over by Conan. A classic semi final. World record attendance of 82,300. Leinsters 3 week preparation warranted for this one.
