Springbok hero Canan Moodie scored a hat-trick as his Vodacom Bulls side scored nine of their own to smash Benetton 56-35 in a 14-try Vodacom United Rugby Championship thriller at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

The Bulls raced to their bonus point in the first half hour and then allowed Benetton to steal a bonus point in the second half that could do wonders for their campaign to qualify for the top eight.The result meant that the Bulls moved temporarily up to second spot, although other results may see them drop back to fourth by the end of the weekend, while Benetton will go into a straight shootout with Edinburgh next weekend in the quest for a spot in the Investec Champions Cup.

The other question remains if the Bulls, in the knockout rounds, can take this sort of momentum and replicate it away from home. Yet, on a warm autumn afternoon that could easily have been mistaken for a late summer’s exit, their game plan was well suited to the opposition and paid almost immediate dividends.

Arendse added his name to the scoresheet shortly afterwards by wrestling his way over from close range and the bonus point came in the 26th minute as Bulls captain Ruan Nortje was put into the perfect gap to score after Willie le Roux exploited a mismatch with prop Simone Ferrari.
