Bulls Cruise Past Scarlets Comfortably

The hosts reshuffled their entire squad ahead of the match, making a major overhaul to the match-day squad, and it appeared rejuvenated, crossing the eight tries compared to the Welsh team’s four.

Followed by Dylan Maart, who converted his first try, as the Bulls surged into the lead, alongside Curwin Bosch succeeded with all three conversions.
The away team rose to the game with a double score before the interval, when John McKee and Sam Lousi crossed the five pointers, while Carwyn Leggatt-Jones double hit one conversion to make the score 21-12 at half time.
The home-side pulled one away after the match resume, with Marcell Coetzee registering his brace of tries, as Sebastian de Klerk, Johan Grobbelaar also converted.
Maart dotted down for one last try while Bosch in complete was on point with seven out eight conversions to cap a commanding performance. Scarlets extended their two tries to register a consolation bonus-point from the match, extending the Welsh outfit defeat to five games.
