Photograph: Deon van der Merwe/Inpho/Steve Haag SportsLeinster lost for the first time in the United Rugby Championship this season as they were put to the sword by a ruthless Bulls team in a 62-7 defeat at Loftus Versfeld.

Kurt-Lee Arendse, Canan Moodie and Johan Grobbelaar all helped themselves to a brace of tries with Ruan Nortje, Stedman Gans and Harold Vorster also going in as the South Africans ran in nine tries, with Johan Goosen converting seven and adding a penalty. Prop Michael Milne scored a consolation try for Leinster.

Leinster had already secured top spot in the table and rested a number of star players but would have been disappointed by the nature of the defeat ahead of next weekend’s Heineken Champions Cup semi-final with Toulouse. Bulls opened the scoring with Goosen sending over a straightforward penalty after concerted early pressure in the Leinster 22.
