Bulls director of rugby Jake White was full of praise for his team after they outmuscled and outthought the Sharks to beat them 49-28 in the first Super Fan encounter in front of an empty Loftus on Saturday night.

The Bulls, who got out of the blocks with furious pace, led 35-7 at the halftime break and scored seven tries in the match compared to four by the Sharks who looked to be still be in lockdown mode.

“I am very happy for a lot of reasons. We had a chance to play rugby again, to look at both our squads. We didn’t have any injuries and I thought that the way we started the match was very clinical and accurate,” said White after the first professional rugby match played in SA in over six months. White was also impressed with the execution of set pieces by his team which was another area where they dominated the Sharks.

“I said to them after the match, 'welcome to senior rugby now.' A guy like Jan-Hendrik Wessels has the ball turned over a couple of times, but last year he was playing schoolboy rugby at Grey College. The scrum was fantastic and it’s obviously a massive part of the Bulls DNA.”
