CAPE TOWN – It was a typical early-round Rainbow Cup SA arm wrestle that didn’t reach great heights, but the Bulls showed the better composure in the end to outlast the Lions 22-9 at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday night.
Both teams had encouraging passages of attack in the opening 30 minutes, with the Lions’ main threat coming from star centre Wandisile Simelane. Still, a Smith penalty extended the Bulls’ lead to 10-6 at halftime, and although Zeilinga reduced the deficit by three points after the break, another shot at goal hit the crossbar a few minutes later.The Lions kept attacking as the Bulls’ discipline let them down with a string of penalties conceded, but the visitors were unable to convert their pressure into points.
