HIGHLIGHTS: Blue Bulls v Pumas

Defending Carling Currie Cup champions, the Bulls, scored a hard-fought 32-27 win over an ever-charging New Nation Pumas side at Loftus Versfeld. The home side lost their opening match in the Premier Division last week and thanks to a 17-3 lead at the break, managed a good enough buffer to withstand the Lowvelders' fightback in the second half. The  Bulls scored four tries and the visitors three, with a first half New Nation Pumas try ruled out due to a forward pass proving crucial in the bigger scheme of things, while flyhalf Eddie Fouche will also ponder on three missed kicks to goal. Marcell Coetzee and his men will gladly take the bonus point though, while the visitors at least have a losing bonus point to show for their efforts.
