The Bulls started well, the Hurricanes didn't, and the home side came away with a 21-19 win. A 66th minute try from Beauden Barrett looked to have stolen the match for the Hurricanes, but the Bulls hit back with a counter attack that ended in a match-winning try to prop Pierre Schoeman. It was a sleepy start for the Hurricanes and as they took their time to get into the game, the Bulls charged. Another penalty from the boot of Poolard extended the Bulls lead, and they went into the break 16-12 ahead.
