FULL TIME. BULLS 62-7 LEINSTER. A wonderful afternoon for the Bulls as the inflict the first loss of the season on Leinster, and a big one it was too. Magnificent play all around from the Bulls, who now look forward to a quarter-final. For Leinster, losing their unbeaten record would have come second to giving game time to some of their youngsters, but a heavy defeat like this will always carry some sting. Hope you enjoyed following the tryfest with us, and enjoy the rest of your sporting weekend!

Bulls piling forward, looking for that last score… but Leinster hold tight and clear the danger, and the referee wets his whistle…

Leinster drive forward but the Bulls win the maul and run the ball, battering through two phases, three phases, before a kick over the top for Moodie to chase…

TMO is having a look at a strong hand-off… and it's going to be a yellow card for a dangerous forearm handoff, and Ruan Vermaak is off for the rest of the match.

… MOODIE chases through on a long grubber but it runs into the in-goal area, where the Leinster defender hacks it into the crowd. Hmmmm… that was a sniff of a hat-trick, it must be said.

… Leinster are penalised for the scrum again, and Goosen nails his penalty five metres past the halfway line. The Bulls hat-trick hopefuls are lining up for a chance of another try…

Prendergast kicks into the Bulls 22 area, but Leinster's throw-in is skew, so the Bulls have the scrum inside their 22…

Bulls fall foul of the ref in the scrum and it's a Leinster penalty… one of the few things they have won in this match.

Bulls win the line and run the ball, but the final ball out to Gans on the touchline is clearly forward, so play will come back for a Leinster scrum.

… but the TMO has spotted the ball went out direct, so they come back into the Leinster 22 for a lineout… but this time Prendergast clears well into the Bulls half with a superb kick.

Bulls win the line, drive forward and look for a gap in the Leinster defence, but the visitors hold firm, regain possession and drive forward, kicking possession back into the Bulls half…

Ball goes out for a lineout, Bulls steal possession and chip over the top, Leinster on their 10m struggle to stay in touch, and it's a Bulls lineout.

CONVERSION, BULLS, GOOSEN! 43-0; Goosen nails the conversion from the right touchline - excellent kick.

TRY, BULLS, MOODIE! 41-0; Bulls drive forward and win the lineout on the 5m… driving forward at the Leinster line… they're mauling on the line, run the line… there's a cross kick and Moodie grabs it in the air under pressure, lands on the turf and dots down. An incredible try!

Goosen misses the conversion from wide of the field, his first miss of the match.

TRY, BULLS, GROBBELAAR! 36-0; Great start to the second half, Bulls driving forward, Papier getting the ball and breaking on a mazy run, before feeding to Grobbelaar near the right touchline, with the big man running over for another try.

KICK-OFF! We're back underway with the second half.

HALF-TIME, BULLS 31-0 LEINSTER. A fantastic, dominating performance from the Bulls, giving the visitors nothing, but being clinical at running hard and through the Leinster line. Leinster are sure to bounce back in the second half to try and protect their unbeaten record, so we should be in for a cracking second half… and we'll bring it to you shortly.

Leinster with possession and they push over into the Bulls half and to their 10-metre line, but the Bulls steal possession and feed Goosen, who drills his clearance kick back into the Leinster half to their 22. Superb counter from the Bulls.

Lovely break from the scrum on the blindside, Moodie getting the ball and chipping forward, but it's just too deep and Leinster can dot down.

There is some niggling in the scrum, and the forwards inspect each others' collars with their fists, but the ref blows and awards a scrum to the Bulls, advising that he wants no such interactions going forward.

Bulls win the ball but knock-on in the line, gifting Leinster the scrum just inside their half.

… but Leinster steal the ball and win a penalty, which finds touch on the Leinster 10-metre.

Leinster are blown again and Goosen finds his touch a few metres shy of the Leinster 22…

PENALTY, BULLS, GOOSEN! 3-0; No difficulty with the first score of the day.

… but Leinster are blown off-side and the Bulls have a penalty inside the 22 and right in front of posts… so it looks like the scoreboard is going to start a-moving!

Bulls win the line and run to the left wing, when Leinster intercept, but the Bulls tackle hard to win the ball back. They run left, maul, then run right and over the 22… out to the left win, then back inside, the backline and forwards taking turns to pound away at the Leinster line…

The kick is poor, allowing Leinster the option of taking a scrum on the halfway line… but their pack buckles in the scrum and the Bulls have another kick from the halfway line, this one succeeding in finding touch on Leinster's 22.

Bulls drive forward from the kick-off, testing the Leinster defence with wave after wave of attack, until Leinster go off-side near the halfway line.
