Keep track of the live scoring as the Bulls face a tricky away match against Castres Olympique in the Champions Cup on Saturday.
The Champions Cup battle between the Bulls and Castres Olympique is expected to be a thoroughly entertaining encounter, with the French side leading the Pretoria outfit by four log points in fourth spot in their pool, after winning their last outing at home against Munster.
The Bulls, in turn, have suffered defeats in both their Champions Cup matches and have their backs against the wall with no points to their name following defeats against Saracens and the Northampton Saints. However, there is no doubt this will fuel their motivation to bounce back strongly in the business end of the pool stages.
If they do get across the line against Castres they are in the top four in Pool 3 and will have the carrot of knowing that a win over Stade Francais in their final group game at Loftus will be enough to secure them an advance. Of course, they’ve left themselves well behind the eight ball when it comes to seedings in the first knock-out round. If they do get through, they will probably have to travel to Toulouse, Dublin or Bordeaux, but the Bulls and Stormers both go into this penultimate round of the group phase seeing a potential shard of light at the end of the tunnel. – Toulouse 10 pts, Bordeaux 10, Leicester Tigers 6, Hollywoodbets Sharks 5, Exeter Chiefs 0, Ulster 0.
