Brilliant Munster become first European team to beat the Bulls at their Loftus fortress

The southern province secured a four-try bonus point against their hosts, who were reduced to 14 men in the second half.

MUNSTER PULLED OFF one of their greatest victories in the United Rugby Championship and sent out a clear warning that they won’t give up their title without a fight as they beat the Vodacom Bulls at Loftus Versfeld 27-22.

At that stage the Bulls had come back from 17-10 down at halftime to lead 22-17 through second half tries by World Cup winner Kurt-Lee Arendse and hooker Johan Grobbelaar and looked like they were taking control of the game. Indeed, in Goosen’s illegal tackle, the ball spilled loose and Canan Moodie pounced, picking up the loose ball to run and score in the corner.But the momentum shift was massive, even though the Bulls defended admirably.

But this was a night for Munster to savour. A gritty performance, led up front by Tadhg Berne, who was lethal at the breakdown and some exceptional defence to stop a team normally rampant on home turf added another scalp to their growing list under Rowntree.
