Bulls Run in Eight Tries in 54-26 Rout of Scarlets

The Bulls ran in eight tries to secure a comfortable 54-26 win over Scarlets at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Saturday, moving up to second on the United Rugby Championship log. The home side overpowered the Welsh visitors in the final quarter after Scarlets had fought back to level the game at 26-26, pulling away to seal a bonus-point victory in front of their home crowd. The result completed an outstanding weekend for South Africa's franchises. The Stormers had already beaten Ulster 33-7 in Cape Town for a fourth successive bonus-point win, and the Sharks ground out a 15-3 win over Munster at Thomond Park, leaving three South African sides in the URC's top four heading into the break. Glasgow remain the competition's only unbeaten team and lead the standings on 23 points, with the Bulls and Stormers on 21 points behind them. The URC now pauses for the Nations Championship, with league action resuming in December. The Bulls' final-quarter surge underlined their forward power, and the win gives them real momentum to carry into the international window.
