Despite dominating possession, the Bulls suffered a 30-21 defeat to the Northampton Saints at Loftus, leaving coach Jake White ruing missed opportunities in the Champions Cup clash.
A frustrated Jake White rued the missed chances from the Vodacom Bulls in Saturday’s Investec Champions Cup round 2 defeat to the Northampton Saints at Loftus Versfeld.
The Premiership champions counter-punched superbly to run in four tries in the Pool 3 clash, two of them by wing Tommy Freeman. Speaking in a post-match interview with SuperSport, White summed up his feelings on the match while crediting the Saints’ performance. “They are a good team. They were semi-finalists last year and they won the Premiership, so they’re not a team to be taken lightly. I think they showed again today, if you are not on top of your game, even at home, you’re not going to win.
