It was a rewarding weekend for South Africa’s Vodacom United Rugby Championship teams as all four franchises claimed bonus-point victories – two at home and two away – to bag a full house for the local teams.
These results mean three of the sides finish the third round in the top eight – albeit the second round of matches for the domestic teams after their opening round fixtures were postponed.
The Emirates Lions got a bumper day of action on Saturday off to a fantastic start with an emphatic 55-21 victory against Edinburgh in Johannesburg, and the Vodacom Bulls continued to hold the fort as they racked up a 47-21 victory against Ulster in Pretoria.
Abroad, the Hollywoodbets Sharks kept the SA flag flying high as they scored a try in the dying seconds for a valuable 33-30 victory against the Dragons in Newport, and the DHL Stormers maintained their unbeaten record against Zebre Parma by defeating the Italians 36-05.
