The South Africans emerged 30-23 winners in their quarter-final at Loftus Versfeld.

LEINSTER OR ULSTER will travel to South Africa for a semi-final next week after the Bulls held off a stern challenge from Benetton to win their URC quarter-final 30-23 at Loftus Versfeld.

Advertisement The Bulls and Treviso outfit Benetton split six tries in an entertaining last-eight clash on the Highveld, with the Italians always remaining in touch despite finding themselves in an ominous-looking 14-3 hole after 20 minutes. Marco Bortolami’s men wouldn’t be dissuaded, however, and Onisi Ratave’s unconverted try just after the half-hour mark brought the deficit back to six points.

Tomas Albornoz crossed six minutes later, with Smith adding the afters, to leave Bulls fans twitching as the game entered the final quarter.
