RECAP: Bulls v Lions

Saturday 22 Feb 2025

READERS’ FORUM: Welcome to our LIVE coverage of the rescheduled United Rugby Championship Round Nine encounter between the Bulls and Lions at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria.

SA Shield holders, the Bulls need a victory to build a cushion between themselves and the fourth-placed Sharks. The men from Pretoria are in third place on the table with 35 points, one ahead of the Durbanites on 34.

The Johannesburgers, in turn, are in 12th position with 23 points – trailing the eighth-placed Scarlets by four points, but with two games in hand – meaning a surprise victory at Loftus Versfeld could give them a handy nudge up the table.
