A superb second half effort from Munster wasn’t enough to topple the Bulls in Pretoria after a pulsating encounter at Loftus Versfeld. The Bulls clung on for a 34-31 (halftime 14-7) win despite four second half tries from Munster. In truth, Munster were unlucky not to come away with a full five points from the game. Livewire Bulls scrumhalf Embrose Papier was quickest to the ball for this second try of the match.
