Bulls too strong for adventurous Griquas

determined running over the advantage line.

Their hard toil paid dividends as they put together fluent passages of play that saw the forwards and backs collaborating beautifully for the three tries they scored in 10 minutes.

After Nic de Jager’s 15th minute try, the Bulls overwhelmed Griquas by engulfing every facet of play and their second try by Jamba Ulengo was a thing of beauty and epitomised the confidence with which Nollis Marais’ team are playing at the moment.

From a line-out about 10 metres from the Griquas try-line, hooker Jaco Visagie peeled off what looked like the start of a rolling maul, passed the ball to Tian Schoeman, who popped a deft pass to the inside of a charging Ulengo who cantered over for his seventh try of the competition.

Lock RG Snyman completed the Bulls blitzkrieg with a try from an outstretched arm after the Bulls had turned over possession deep in their half.

The writing was on the wall soon after half-time as the home side extended their lead by 23 points after Piet van Zyl had benefited from a tag team turnover by Roelof Smit and Pierre Schoeman, before Ulrich Beyers drove the nail into the coffin with a well-worked first phase try from the scrum.

The Bulls closed off proceedings by grabbing an additional three tries with Van Zyl crawling over for his second before referee Quinton Immelman gave them a penalty try and Bjorn Basson side-stepped his way on the cusp of the full-time siren.

Griquas crossed over the whitewash when Wandile Putuma cantered over but it was too little too late.
