Bulls win in fine style to capture the Vodacom Super Rugby Unlocked trophy

The Vodacom Bulls delivered a dominant first-half performance against the Phakisa Pumas at Loftus Versfeld on November 22 to finish their Vodacom Super Rugby Unlocked campaign on a winning note, with a 21-5 victory and the honour of being crowned the champions.

The win was their fourth in a row in the competition and their fifth victory in six matches since Vodacom Super Rugby Unlocked kicked off in October, not long after the interrupted season was restarted.

With the clash between the trailing DHL Stormers and Cell C Sharks cancelled, the Vodacom Bulls entered their final match of the competition at the top of the standings with the title essentially sealed, but they continued to make their presence felt for yet another victory.

The Toyota Cheetahs also ensured they finished their Vodacom Super Rugby Unlocked campaign on a high note as they overcame a strong challenge by Tafel Lager Griquas in Bloemfontein for a 28-9 win, although the match was tighter than the scoresheet reflected.
