Marcell Coetzee scored one of four second-half tries to help the Vodacom Bulls come from behind to beat his former side Ulster in front of a packed Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
After trailing 9-3 at half time the Bulls, playing in front of close to 25,000 fans, scored four tries in the second half to earn a vital bonus-point win over the Irish side and boost their playoff hopes in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship.
The result has the Bulls, for the time being, leapfrogging the Sharks into sixth place on the table, with the Stormers still to play Ospreys on Saturday night. Next weekend the Bulls will face the Stormers in what will be a massive game for deciding who tops the South African Shield.
