Bulls 39-30 Sharks
The Bulls came out top in a feisty South African derby at Loftus on Saturday. The win reignited the Bulls’ playoff aspirations in 2018, scoring five tries to three from their visitors.

Super Rugby News: Five talking points on the past weekend’s action

A botched call, a hot wing and the rampant Jaguares feature in our talking points after week 12 of the Super Rugby season.

Beale clanger costs Waratahs
Kurtley Beale’s baffling decision to cross-kick to Israel Folau in the final minute of the Waratahs’ 24-21 loss to the Blues was down to mistakenly believing his team had a penalty advantage.

The Tahs were laying siege to the Blues try-line for most of the second half and had put themselves into a position to win the match.

Super Rugby News: Five key talking points the weekend’s action

A former All Black’s motivating influence, a missing penalty try and an injury curse are among five talking points from the weekend’s Super Rugby action.

Reds’ Thorn in side of Lions
Former All Blacks lock Brad Thorn is making his mark on the Reds, highlighted by their gritty 27-22 win over South Africa’s table topping Golden Lions in Brisbane on Saturday.

The victory means the Reds have already won four games – the same number as in their entire abject 2017 season – with two games still to come against the winless Sunwolves.

Brumbies 20-25 Jaguares
The Jaguares pulled off another stunning victory in Canberra on Sunday. The men from Buenos Aires shocked the Rebels last weekend and many were wondering if they could bag another away win.

They were on the front foot from the outset with Matias Orlando crossing the line in just the fourth minute and despite a few late tries from the Brumbies, the Jaguares went into the break 13-10 ahead.

Chance Peni’s try in the 67th minute kept the hosts in the game, reducing the gap to three points once more, but any hopes of mounting a comeback were soon quashed when Emiliano Boffelli scored with only 10 minutes left on the clock.

The win sees the Jaguares move above the Stormers on the SA conference.
