David Kriel is over the line but he held up. His effort comes after a Bulls penalty leads to a lineout. They win it and Steenekamp charges at the line at pace. Somehow he is stopped but the ball is recycled quickly only for Kriel to be held up.
It looks like the Bulls are heading for a 4th try already but Moodie's pass finds touch instead of his man. The Ospreys have dodged a bullet after earlier coughing up possession in midfield.
