The Bulls pulled out an incredible passage of play to score perhaps the try of the URC season so far at Cardiff Arms Park.
Jake White’s Bulls held on to secure an 18-12 win over Cardiff as they adjusted to playing on the artificial turf.
The specially designed surface has been lauded for speeding up the game and the Bulls certainly go the memo with the play.

However they were innovative and well prepared to use their pace out wide.
Cardiff also scored a memorable try through Ray Lee-Lo who spotted the Bulls napping and pulled off a remarkable break from what the referee deemed was just a tackle and not a ruck.
