Bulls and Sharks crash out of SuperRugby title race

The Hurricanes scored three tries in 10 minutes to put the Pretoria side on the backfoot, but they would not go away quietly. Cornal Hendricks demonstrated his potent finishing ability, even when he appeared to be painted into a corner, and at halftime the Bulls were trailing 24-14, but still very much in the game.

While the Hurricanes were quickest out the blocks in the second half, the Bulls stuck to their guns and continued to pressure the home side. Hendricks was denied a second try, but with Salesi Rayasi adjudged to have deliberately knocked the ball down, he earned himself a yellow card and the Bulls were awarded a penalty try. The visitors then proceeded to exploit their numerical advantage, Handre Pollard put through a deft cross field kick that found Hendricks for his second try of the match and the men in blue were drawing ever closer.

Hunting their third consecutive draw on New Zealand soil, but this time to send them into extra time, the Bulls mounted one last attack. Hendricks could not hang on to the ball and it was heartbreak for men from Pretoria as the Hurricanes advance to face the Crusaders in Christchurch, 35-28 the final score.“We fought the full 80 and a couple of bounces here and there didn’t go our way tonight.

I really think Sharks have good players, they just need a new management ( coach and Technical team)
