Strauss hat-trick gets Bulls back on track
By Christopher Devine
Adriaan Strauss punished ill-discipline from the Stormers to score a hat-trick and help the Bulls climb off the foot of Super Rugby's South African Conference table with a 33-23 win.
After beating the Hurricanes in round one, the Bulls had lost four matches in a row prior to this much-needed triumph at Loftus Versfeld.
Former South Africa hooker Strauss crossed for tries in the sixth, 17th and 46th minute - his second and third scores each coming when the Stormers had been reduced to 14 men through respective sin-binnings for Damian de Allende and Pieter-Steph du Toit.
John-Ben Kotze and Jesse Kriel also went over for the Bulls, the latter's 70th-minute score effectively securing victory after the Stormers had cut their deficit to three points.
The Stormers had trailed by 13 after 32 minutes, but two tries in quick succession from Jan de Klerk and De Allende got them right back into the contest before Siya Kolisi responded to Strauss' third touchdown.

According to him, substantial profits were being earned there, and her presentation was so compelling that it piqued my curiosity. Unbeknownst to me, I was being catfished. he provided evidence of his earnings and even sent me a watch as a token of her affection. Consequently, he gained my trust and affection, which marked the beginning of my financial losses in Bitcoin. I had complete faith in him and invested over a million US dollars.

Go to commentsWonderfully committed performance by the Highlanders, undone by scrum penalties. Last week they were justified, but this week a couple of those penalties should have gone the Landers’ way - once the Brumbies props saw which way the ref was going they started hinging and pulling the scrum down, but the ref just kept seeing the same picture.
