The Bulls learnt a harsh lesson about converting pressure into points as Connacht made them pay in their United Rugby Championship match in Galway.
Connacht didn’t look like breaching the Bulls defence in the first half, though, with one-off runners easily marked by the visitors, while flyhalf Jack Carty was put under enormous pressure as the chief playmaker.They suddenly found some spark in their attacking game, and showcased much greater fluidity and pace with ball-in-hand.
Then the Irish team landed the knockout blow four minutes later when left wing Mack Hansen danced his way past a number of Bulls defenders to score a sensational try, although the South Africans could have felt hard done by after referee Ben Blain had TMO Andrew McMenemy check for obstruction.
