The Vodacom Bulls were made to work hard to claim a bonus-point victory over the Lions in a Currie Cup derby in Johannesburg on Wednesday evening.

The 40-10 win has the Bulls closing the gap on the table-topping Cheetahs to just one point, while at the same time opening up a seven-point gap between themselves and the third-placed Sharks.

The home side actually had the better of the game for a good portion of the first half and could count themselves unlucky not to have taken an early lead. However, their good work was undone by a combination of handling errors, injuries and a yellow card to lock Lunga Ncube, who was sent to the sin bin for a deliberate knock-on.
