Canan Moodie hat-trick stands out in Bulls' rampage versus Zebre

The Bulls closed in on the URC playoffs with a 78-12 thrashing of Zebre Parma in Johannesburg. Wing Canan Moodie claimed a hat-trick as the Bulls scored 11 tries and fly-half Johan Goosen kicked 23 points.

Scrum-half Embrose Papier and lock forward Ruan Vermaak both crossed twice as Zebre wilted at altitude. Gerhard Steenekamp, Marco van Staden, Bismarck du Plessis and Chris Smith completed the Bulls’ try rampage.

Zebre, who remain without a win for almost 12 months, claimed consolation scores through Richard Kriel and Chris Cook.

Smith’s try in the final moments saw Bulls register the most points in a URC fixture, eclipsing the 75 that the Ospreys managed against Benetton in February 2014.
