Impressive Bulls humiliate Stormers

Coach praises his boys’ ‘near-perfect’ showing

Bulls coach Pote Human has described his side’s 40-3 Super Rugby win over the Stormers at the weekend as a “nearperfect” performance.

The Bulls played attacking and at times devastating rugby as they scored four tries through Johnny Kotze‚ Jesse Kriel and a brace by debutant Rosko Specman.

Man of the Match Handrè Pollard dazzled as he converted all his seven kicks – four conversions and three penalties. SP Marais scored the Stormers’ penalty.

“It was a near-perfect performance from the boys but I agree that we gave away a soft penalty and sometimes in defence we were too narrow. “Those are the few things that we need to work on more going forward‚” said Human after his first match in charge. “This is a confidence-booster for the guys and we are looking forward to the season. “I know that we have the squad to do well this year but we must just stay on the ground and be humble. “There is no doubt that we will surprise a lot of teams this season.

“In our set-pieces‚ especially in the line-outs‚ we were very impressive because we managed to take the ball away from them and not to concede a try against the Stormers is a great achievement.”
