BULLS IN A CHINA SHOP

South Africans smash Blues' unbeaten record to pieces

Bulls 62

Leinster 7

LEINSTER lost for the first time in the United Rugby Championship this season as they were put to the sword by a ruthless Bulls team in a 62-7 defeat at Loftus Versfeld.

Kurt-Lee Arendse, Canan Moodie and Johan Grobbelaar all helped themselves to a brace of tries.

Ruan Nortje, Stedman Gans and Harold Vorster also went over as the South Africans ran in nine tries, with Johan Goosen converting seven and adding a penalty.

Prop Michael Milne scored a consolation try for Leinster.

Leinster had already secured top spot in the table and rested a number of star players.
