Andy uren made the change from Bristol Bears tore up a three-year contract to be here and what a shining season he’s had Malachi FY TOA he’s well known to South African fans a former all black and a current Tongan International who’s also played sevens for Tonga and Rhino Smith The Familiar name in the number 15 born in Paul in the western C the Bulls back in the playoffs as they always are but they’ll be looking to go One Step better than they ever have in the URC and win the whole thing this season the furthest they’ve ever gone was taking on the stormers in the final of the first ever competition and now they have the chance to host their quarterfinal and should they win here today to go on to host their semi-final next weekend as well then depending on results in Monster if they’re lucky enough they may just host the final here but there’s a long way to go before that and the first hurdle is Benetton who are before them the Lions of Benetton who are prepared to make their way onto the field now the altitude of ptor proved too much to handle when they traveled up in round 17 losing 56 points to 35 however they were a surgent in the final 20 minutes scoring tries Galore and coach of the Bulls Jake white has warned that this Benetton side have enough to beat the Bulls should they not be on their game today quality players all throughout the squad what a season they’ve had to rise into the playoff positions can they get the job done here is inani calmly making their way out onto the field behind their Captain Michelle Lam Maro who Captain the Italian national side to a win against Scotland in this year’s Six Nations a famous win indeed and what a leader he is for this Benetton side toah Hala and the number eight will have to work hard providing that go forward and they’re going to have to control the pace of the game are Benetton if they want to get the W here today making his way out for appearance number 50 it is the kept springb [Applause] [Music] stamp alongside me in commentary today none other than hanani shimang hanani the Bulls have worked hard to get to this point what do they need to do to get over the line well first of all they have to be fundamentally sound embrace the moment and play their game L Avenue that’s been very kind for them as we look at the bull supporters the vodon bull supporters out there the team that’s been hard to beat at home this season with the experience of a guy like vly Laro but well done to Stan Camp 50 up he’s been fundamentally sound as a scramber in the Bulls pack the Workhorse ran noia will be looking to lead from the front and like we said they want one more day in the sunshine they want to come to work on Monday the Bulls W arise once again you see the red there Mike Adamson a big G for the traveling Benetton struggling or fighting for a tap top eight spot they here now clear underdogs can they make it count let’s see oh good good to go up right okay stay [Music] behind Yan hen with ball in hand the second highest point scorer in the competition this season gets this quarterfinal and Away goes long lands in the welcoming arms of Andy uren who responds in kind beyond the halfway line Vu receives hon in support Hon’s going to run it back at Benetton lar sends one over the top for Kurt Le arder to chase ardens onto this Kurt the arder is away from the first oh what a start [Music] [Applause] what a start again the vision of vly Laro and that was set up by hon who went back against the gray went back against the touch line you mention that if that ball is ever going to bounce in this Stadium it’s going to land in curtly or’s hands another try for him how many times have you seen this Chen goes back against the grain and that’s where the opportunity is the chip and Chase and it’s Ferrari well not the not so quick Ferrari the big tight prop against ctle or there’s only going to be one winner look who’s chasing there it’s Ferrari the tight head prop he is beaten hands down one to beat Smith ktly or the ultimate finisher getting early [Music] hon adds another conversion to his T in the balls lead seven points to no y it’s beautiful and question what he does oh this was the pass to V he pass face out wide he’s up against the tight prop poor prop ISO tries to stop him ktly or over once again fantastic start from the verticon Albano with the restart for Ben and already trailing here in Swan not the start they would have been seeking wio a Dependable character to set a new R further in field for the Bulls giving more options papia feeds Ken that’s an attacking kick for de clar to chase in the absence of Kanan Moody is disrupted and well taken in by hanom hanom sends one out the back of the hand and creel goes down field well Marshal de by Rhino Smith under tremendous pressure he’s is met by Harold Foster okay not now stay by the blls come piling in but not in great enough number to have an effect and Benetton will have the chance to [Music] clear Ren gets it away Benetton have the chance to consolidate it’s been a frantic opening almost 3 minutes it and they’ll be certainly looking to control the tempo here allowed the Bulls to get out to a hefty lead when they travel down for round 17 and couldn’t claw it back Val Theo underneath that one chased by Rave couldn’t get there in time papier takes it to the line yeah from benon they’ll want to slow things down slightly at the moment it’s just the balls coming at them benon we’ve saw in a lot of Italian players the kind of rugby the system they play Love shape rugby love to ask questions they’ve got a fantastic backline you got to just look at Brick fito RAV can go minello and R Smith definitely an exciting backline L by led by Albano but this is where it first starts the Sharks F the Bulls power last week in deran Stam CBL and W not even already settle for nothing less than dominance and scrum in the scrum area on the Crouch head off the [Music] shoulders approach by set Andy Ren feeds the scram the pressure coming from the Bulls will go low walking around the corner we’ve seen this movie before you need a platform to attack from you need to build pressure somehow and it starts with at least setpiece parity the first scrum that’s woring signs cuz that man There Will C he looks pretty serious but he’s smiling inside he’s not one to celebrate scrum penalties a lot but he’s done his job there that’s where the pressure is coming from look at the right hand side of the balls KO just absolutely launched backwards by W aler get Space how many five five man receivers at the [Music] front feeds the Dependable hands of farak claim it in his arm’s car pass his arm cars pass is distracted on the floor it’s a knock on in the tackle I suppose the problem with that is when you get front B the Chas is at the back of the opposition lineup so the benon players can come through and they need to be blocked soam fro R managed to come through and stop that so if it’s back ball it’s it’s a lot harder to stop because they can’t rush through and they well trying to stop the allall keep it Square nice and tight but get him by the first scr [Music] here the balls will probably turn on beast mode again and look to March forward by set Ambrose Pap it Square the Bulls keeping the ball in the scrum looking for that go forward hanom breaks to the open side occupies three or four Defenders well protected car gets it away big boots to fill in the absence of Maru farden as naam car but he’s got all the experience to handle that Foster takes it forward and does he pass it Forward declad Cuts back inside keeping the ball alive impressively and it’s Foster hom takes it further papier looking to clear they’ve got numbers out to the left the Bulls Benetton rushing up aggressively cre beats the first Defender what an offload low tries to get it free curtle ardens are waiting on the outside Rhino Smith looks to attack B with the hands ctle arer for the corner he’s been wrapped up tremendous strength to stay in field papier feeds to kobar bennetton on the ropes in the opening 10 minutes of this quarterfinal papier gets it clear to forar Quick ball for the Bulls timeing again hen tosses it back couldn’t make it to the line bennetton looked to counter and Rhino Smith sends it long so Sebastian declair covering this kick might turn out to be a real cracker over kick indeed staying in field and Sebastian declair is on his own going to have to apply boot to ball here he does so casually get out of jail card absolute Rue thereon just needed I can see the intent he takes the ball beautifully nice and flat he’s almost over now they just hold on to the ball the cleaners are there nisam CH he could have just picked that ball over and scored but what he’s trying to do is keep that ball alive was he he was over he just needed to dot it down but I think the right thing they just hold on to the ball the balls aren’t Under Pressure Benetton all attacking line out to the Italian side Albano keeps it moving and here’s halaf crash ball threat the big number eight bennetton if they’re allowed to get into their attacking flow they have been brilliant this season but none more brilliant than the Bulls the top TR scorers in the competition in urc’s third season trying for a gap on the outside Rave takes on hen able to get the pass away to isor built like a brick house isor takes Benetton forward Malachi feoa sends it to his captain lamato who’s well met by c car applies himself at the raack here’s Hala no you’re offsite well that’s the rugby there you got a glimpse of what benon rugby is about what Italian rugby is about but what generally happens with a team like that you need someone to punch or take you know try D that defensive line the ball’s pretty passive early on not a lot of line speed not putting the ven on Attack under pressure and if they get enough possession they can hold on to the ball forever but you can see pulling the ball behind this time going front door to Hala I can I can see that the Temptation from the balls is the ball was up but did they start from an onside possession and also you got to adapt to the ref in that position there if the ref gives you the go-head then you shoot and go but the first little position Benetton have got they looked pretty [Music] good Rhino Smith lining up the kick for the first potential points for Benetton [Music] [Applause] Smith straight and true three points on the board for bennetton feel they have to stay in touch throughout this match like they didn’t manage to in round 17 when they let the Bulls rack up 56 points I suppose the worrying thing about benon is the scrums they managed a little bit of a fight back the last one on the Bulls wall so the Bulls didn’t get that scrum penalty but the scrums you can’t go into survival mode on the scrums against the balls the verticon balls right now Smith underneath that one to collect but collect he can’t and it’s been ripped clean by hanom and a tremendous showing of strength CR hold on is it still alive bennetton collect [Applause] knock another opportunity from if you picked up and play out it has to be a knock on and goal that’s an easy take he’s got enough time he’s got plays in front of him to look after him once he lands but probably needed to get no I didn’t see one his hands he just went through the B [Music] basket rescued by what he did well he actually went for the ball and not for the he went all in on the ball so that stopped the momentum and Yani what’s the key to Benetton finding a way to win here against the Bulls they need sa pece par first of all okay you know it can’t be every scrums a penalty for the balls you’re losing territory you know you’re under pressure cuz you don’t to concede another one and it takes that the it gives the balls energy it takes the steam out of your pack every time you get in the scrams and then once they can get that they’ve got a very good attacking system they play good rugby they can score tries and that’s what they need here but if the balls are just going to SC scram them every ball or every scram and generate penalties then it’s going to be a long day side was it yeah don’t come up to join the front row stay on your back stay on your man Scottish referee Mike Adamson behind the ball behind the ball Mak sure that El bl by the rules at scram time Benetton will be under pressure no doubt about that [Music] set bennetton hold their ground this time Hala quickly away from the back and FY TOA takes it to the line he going to have a lot of work on his hands the number 12 for bennetton uren sends it off to bernasconi here on side building a long tail at the back of that rout for uren to [Music] clear controlling the pace of the match so far but territorially he’ll be in trouble again attacking lineup for the Bulls yeah bit of work from benon in that scr channel one ball in and out don’t waste time there don’t make it a long set don’t make it how many four a run battle five man Qui the balls have been close twice close to the line and I saw Theon pass straight over the line and then the other hon the hooker with the knock there so you want to convert those in playoff gamesan for Mark dominating at linear time this season and his last possession of the boulder under pressure from Federico RZA set a great start to the game and the kick goes long for the balls to field how do they approach this Sebastian declair lightning quick replacement for Kan and Moody dealing with that index finger injury good kick to touch from Vu end of the here just the end of the fight and the line so this is the front pole here but what they’re trying to do is slow it down so the guys don’t chase at the back the benon players but that transition that’s the most important thing the delivery of the ball so can get attacking isn’t working halaf to the line again the big number eight getting through a power of work early on uren sends it long not a contestable kick Sebastian de cler targeted a player that plays fullback himself or has done so for the pumis is kick charged and pressure coming on from alanos and papir there to clear the Bulls an unfamiliar territory in this first half in their own 22 he use it taking his time the experienced number nine who’s been at the balls for 10 years and he signed for a further three finds touch safely some composure issues early onate from CL I think the pressure but benon slowly starting to build in it into it that’s well worked when you going backwards you can slow the game down get into your shape get into your kicking shape look to kick on your own terms but benon getting better set piece starting to get into this [Music] game benos feeds and taken by alesandro isak feoa hard into H’s tackle naam car there to assist cleared by Captain Lamar pressure on from the Bulls but the Benetton players managed to beat that first press by fo drag to ground on Rave he’s falling into that looked like some possible head contact but easily dealt with by referee Mike adamon saying the attacking player was falling into it FY TOA on the loop he gets it wide to men onello men onello can play an expensive brand when they’re in the mood Benetton had seen them into the top eight this season a tremendous season it’s been for Marco balami coach of beneton and his charges gets it away to valo with the chip over the top almost the perfect bounce for CT play on is the call the knee just before the halfway line valo dragged to ground more strong running from the Bulls oh Pap’s got them tackling themselves and here comes Kar off to fmar forar with the dummy cutting back in field the big number four what an offload as well CLE looks to keep it alive here’s Pap who started it all V the tough pass for hanuk exciting from the balls probably one bad pass slowed that down but keeping the ball alive in contact not creating any RS it’s the hardest thing to defend against once the team starts offloading a lot nisam C started the party here with that offload dominating the Collision first then letting it go but the link play you okay to go the big man Rumbles [Music] for Mark again the ball driving in chaos eventually that’s tiring to defend against because there’s no R set there’s no defensive line and you’re going backwards the whole time if you on the scrum we’re playing on stay Square [Music] five six bennetton finding a way to resist uren delays the pass gets it away to alanos Great kick to touch there from the number 10 TIY in and came off a solid base from the scram looks like the Baton scram is is having a little a mini rebirth they closing the hit base from B on the 10 the ball so the ball’s aren getting that hit to managing to build pressure from that hit nice and tidy from beniton Ben up on to the 10 yeah thank you five man receiver stay two feeds hits for Mark again that dependable combination of the two and the four as the Bulls try to set a rolling Mall here drag in some of those Benetton players captain Michelle Lamar making sure he doesn’t commit now has L his can use it please it time’s up now for the Bulls and papier must clear R Great play from the number five he is getting in the midst of everything so far yakii takes it Forward uren sends it to alanos looking to ignite here Benetton running forward is brex brex sends it wide to the hard charging Rave Rave he’s hard to deal with he’s in the corner yeah and it all started from the charge down from the scrum that was the initial transition almost looked like a benon line out or set from their line out rava quick quick quick quick down the trams put the hammer down and the balls almost C caught him but too quick here this is where the M started for the balls to’s complaining he’s played from an offside position but they’re having a look here I thinka was he in here mdle and B in’s he’s bound on by just the hands and not fully bound and then he charges the guy yeah it’s coming up use your angles looking at CLE number five so he’s lost as a B on the mall shoulders not fully bound correct that we seeing the same thing so shoulder not fully bound and then he charges the ball down so therefore he’s offside at the M yeah I’ve got the mark for when you’re ready over by the 10 on Adam side no try penalty against Pon yeah you can see from p as soon as he put that Ki he W yeah so the the player that charged the ball down lost his b so show wasn’t bound there he’s offside okay this could be a big turn around a penalty there with a good kick means he’s stopping a ball on your 5 m line expensive penalty concede the Temptation was there so close to the scrum [Music] off all things being considered anani Benetton won’t mind the score line as it is right now look they V position so he plays from an offside position have a look at the the reaction from as soon as that was put up [Music] six this time it’s hanom rising high and Harold Foster is the first receiver and what a receipt it is pumping the legs through the point of contact papier quick ball for the Bulls this is danger for Benetton inside it’s k Lee arer easy work easy work front foot ball talk about momentum from a line out Harold Foster I I couldn’t see it from my side but clear from the camera side he looked like he had the hole of lofs behind him but the timing of the ball so the deliver is good the timing is perfect they get it on the run the dummy run is a perfect Foster good low driving body position and a leg tackle need to be made on him that’s on momentum 1 2 3 4 5 six balls players around that ball and the right one was pick ctly or coming off his wing looking for work too many options Quon picks the option and what happened there was bricks actually over tracked he should have kept on the inside that was his tackle on the inside but I think the damage was done by Foster already momentum with the whole Bulls pack coming around the corner Quon taking it flat he had no chance to stop that for the extra two points yanon on target 14 points to the Bulls three to bennetton and that do all out try may prove crucial and that’s the L of it and even for Mark wanted to have a snatch at that ball but clearly or the thing is he’s coming at PACE also with electric feet the ability to step in Defender if he wrong foots you you in trouble well worked Harold Foster started the damage elow loves running straight lines the big number seven he’s having a very very big season indeed papier sends one over the top Ryo Smith underneath this cleard are charging up and he’s made the hit oh what a player he is on defense and attack the Springbok Winger uren gets it clear for Benetton who will be desperate to get back onto the front foot Eduardo Yaki takes it into contact and Benetton controlling the pace of the game making sure that tail of the rug is as long as possible uren send a contestable one up over the top a bit too long for melanello to get there and give hon problems with man and ball Malakai f it to a brick walli makes his hit in the Bulls just outside their own 22 okay n news please turn to up here to get it clear R looking to put pressure again far too much angle on that this is benon chance you don’t want to go too deep somewhere you got to have to pull the trigger from deep and that’s where the balls get transition so Ben need to stay in touch you mentioned earlier on St they have to stay in touch yeah and this is a golden opportunity halfway through the first half the r was over but obviously penalty considered the massive turnaround go okay but when Benetton do have his time back on you look at Hali already going towards the back that breaks as a strong b car fito is power and so is manello Rave so plenty of power On The Backs contested line out falls for the Bulls Kar capitalizing on the bouncing ball misses outan hits H who goes flat with the kick awkward bounds to deal with for Tomaso menello the 21y old Wing fearlessly into the contact uren quick ball for Benetton basoni uren way to alanos who can cut a line open himself the number 10 and the captain can’t hold on [Applause] Lamar frustration frustration from Lam one of the four loose forwards in the six Nation such a good player inspirational leader look like he snatched at it almost but he’s running a good strong challenging line the sad thing is that the kind of f to make mistakes like that V at the score good stability keep it the same nice and square as you saw earlier only the one loss here at Fortress lofter FF for the Bulls this season that monster [Music] five set was back in around 14 the Bulls have been on tremendous form since then Pap fakes left goes right throws a flat one to Sebastian decl I think FL one’s debatable I think that might have been a Ford one so prepare the not getting the that’s fine that should be okay GRE forward hands wi [Music] backward benone feeds federo Ruta the recipient alanos takes it in and Hala tackled by fer quick ball for uran alanos moving it to Smith the Bulls defense spread across the field benon growing in confidence no you’re holding him in I’m not penalizing it very well Marshal that by referee Mike Adamson holding no penalty Advantage resulting gaja on the carry uren to clear quicker ball for Benetton growing in confidence and that pass misses out everyone Russo has a lot to do from here came backwards yet can I use it please interesting to see how they approach this indeed it is uren sending it over the top his boots so crucial to the outcome for bennetton today valo the highly experienced 15 there to receive and kick into touch good defensive work from the [Music] balls every R he just behind it behind him the looked up playing backwards the whole time so there’s no option but to kick so the balls rolling the sleeves up from a defensive point of view so all square look if you look at the balls you know you got those three knock on close to the [Music] line Lamar breaking away from what is potentially a Ring Mall drawing in the Bulls forwards there now sent over the top by uren the measurement decent but Sebastian the cler underneath that one to take 10 pleas yeah too long the kick was too long bit of going short at least make that wasn’t really contestable so it’s almost a turnover but Pon if this goes into touch can restart again but the good thing for benon is getting more territory just lacking that killer punch I think going to attack many many such an even contest here in the first half just what bennetton wanted trailing as they are one try could change the picture fundamentally Russo takes down to ur albos gets it away almost busting a hole in the middle Hali looks like could the audence has down in serious pain uren Dragged In by Benetton staying on the front foot gaj two players down looks like f TOA and Kurt Theo one from either side V the tries to rush through and put some pressure on Alano sends it out wide to brex rudo can he beat the tackle what a tackle by papier rushing up out of the line shutting down the option on the outside for Rino Smith Yaki on the carry Benetton looking positive into the opposition 22 berasi uren sends a flat one and the Bulls defense is being asked questions now gajo with another carry Nisan car affects the tackle uren gets it free to his outside Center brecks fit TOA back on his feet back into the action uren albo sends it over the top for manello manello Kel makes a crucial tackle that’s a loose placement from menell he’s lost control Kar claims and the balls can breathe the sigh of relief heading for the final 10 minutes of the first half use it please just 11 points between the sides hon just ahead of his own dead ball line goes long very long what a kick Waring kirle kirly orer definite hi though I think the ball movement was so quick he didn’t have a chance to adjust and low his body position he was trying to shut trying to cut off the wide option so what’s happened the ball’s hit the ground both playle are for the ball okay it doesn’t matter there’s noou I know both both so I think both players go for the ball quickly AR to the knock on the [Music] head okay good to go considering how it started okay time back on seven many five look at it’s just play on I think just a collision both players gave for the ball welcome Sergio Peterson one is day one of the most explosive players around one of the most exciting Wingers you can find hopefully gets an opportunity to showcase the skills but Pon building shoulders off you get shoulders set the rolling ball now benon spending plenty of time in opposition territory and as such controlling what the Bulls can do as well albos gets it away to menello coming off his wing he asked the question on the inside of k pass not quite going to hand halaf has the start from zero Al makes sure of that good strong run from isako back away monopolizing possession for the time being the side from Italy the placement good from Yaki for uren alanos has benos there ready to crash it up thank you pulling and going backwards again alos sent one over the top Sebastian declair being marshaled here today he’s being targeted by beneton for sure they come piling into the rook and paper somehow some way can get it free Vu goes along looking to clear territory and relieve some pressure that bounce favorable menello having to chase back almost showing some signs of fatigue in his gate there great clearance played quickly by Val Laro the balls will know towards the end of this first half might just be when that altitude takes effect sigil Peterson’s after this it’s flying [Music] everywhere well run play on well well Benetton looking to hit the accelerator here alanos gets it away looking for it back kobar’s hands crucial there and now getting the ball away breaks the pass over the top FY TOA sending it wide to the strike Runner rat what a try beniton bounced back they needed it they wanted it they played quickly Ur say Le pick the pace up of this game and I’ll tell you what they won’t mind the game great like this because you’re avoiding scrums and you’re avoiding line outs and then it becomes a shootout and as long as they’re playing like this the way venon handle the ball look at that was Lamar that actually cleared and rava inside over he goes with a flirting dive and they won’t mind this penon will not mind it if this game goes like us but they don’t want to scram after scram line out after line out we saw what Harold Foster did when the balls got a lineer just outside the 22 M area so good strike back from benon showing plenty of fight shot clocks just on the TS clock red lights when bennetton came to 20 in around 17 they scored the majority of their points and the majority of their five shes late on in the match in the final 20 if they get there with a match still in the ball there’ll be plenty of Sweat Beads on Bull’s heads Rhino Smith the challenging kick and that one’s being hooked to the left it’s 14 points to eight the Bulls lead just the ability to know where the space is and get the ball out there not creating the [Music] rack any wi just wrong footing I think Kel RAV off the left off the right off the left over the [Music] line yanen sends it central to Rhino Smith again this time Dependable under the high ball Benetton will have been booed by that try narrowing the deficit to six points shoulders on use at 9 uren once again making sure he has all the space he needs to clear the ball can he get the measurement right on these box kicks and put more pressure on the recipients from the balls like that V Theo having to do well to take that one Pap oh my goodness are arms in that tackle no arms p it’s it’s an ugly tackle that because you you don’t want you can take a player’s knee out there that’s Gallo the mobile Lucid propt yeah see you hit that knee in the right well that’s 9 months out that’s a knee gone agree to R me that’s exactly the same as a head high tackle KN on the you know you can take a play out 8 to 9 months with a KN if you hit the knee straight on the SP he has to grasp on the ground just aeny he must stay on his he must stay on his Fe it doesn’t matter he must stay on his feet he can’t just dive legs just a chat from Scottish referee Mike Adamson in his 82nd URC game got gold the Bulls points to the posts should be well with in the range of Hing this challenging all the same for sure as benon the 22-year-old hooker gets away with that no arms tackle without any sanction gajo he’s up but he’s in pain the Argentinian International with 17 caps to his name was eligible to play for Italy as well via his Grandad chose Argentina [Music] hon great strike great shot look at the flight it’s clean 17 points to the Bulls eight to bennetton nine points between the teams still not too bad from the beniton perspective to get into the second half still in contention they know they’ve got a chance they know they can score tries against the balls V theu claims the kickoff carried back papier fires back to kenon sends it high the measurement on these high balls from the Bulls whether from papier Oren has been tremendous very well taken there in traffic by alanos uren to clear bennetton playing plenty of rugby in bulls’ half towards the end of this first half brecks sends it away to gaj on the carry looking decent on his knee after getting treatment moments ago alesandro isak driven backwards in the tackle s uren sends it away the balls defense strong there quick ball needed for Bennett and that’s when they cause their problems Alan o to manello hitting it on the angle good strong run from the youngster taking KR with them sticking to their plan here bennetton and the plan is solid rat slightly lateral goes to ground uren gets it away the hardworking Yaki with another carry switching from right to left the side in green and white turn to their Captain to go forward Laro sets the next R controlling possession controlling territory halaf on the carry again he has been busy in these opening 37 minutes the youngster Bar None on the carry uren gets it away Alano if you give him a half Gap he’ll slide right through it uren ruso great play this from Benetton good tackle from hanom on bereson huren this time to the right bennetton keeping it close to the rre with each and every carry quick ball now from uren Albano to brex almost got his hands through the tackle there it was danger if he’d found isore scored a brace of tries in round 18 in a Do or Die match against Edinburgh r with a headful of steam beats two Defenders oh oh no how does that happen a sure try a gift from RAV rejected [Music] this was the hard work here straight the bus is full now all he has to do his dishit which he does do and it’s knocked on Alexandro gari coach killer he can’t believe it he can’t believe it we can’t believe it that’s a try beniton have come to play on Yani and they have every chance of winning this quarterfinal yeah and and the balls defensively you know you can look at the ball system they keep good line Integrity nice and close but there’s no line speed so it doesn’t apply pressure so a team that holds on to the ball with a little bit of punch so you saw what you saw from Rave then it does make it difficult to stop you need to make those hits if you’re going to defend like that good keep it square there’s now the Bulls have beaten down a number of stereotypes about their style of play this season breaking the record for try scoring breaking the record for Point scoring but they’ve also conceded an average of three tries per match Pon will see opportunity they’re surviving a scr well they they not well surviving they’re handling the balls at the scram you can see the balls have tried to go for the big shove and haven’t really managed that but penaton patient on attack very very patient you saw earlier on they about six RS but the one good carry was for manella and R so not really dominating the gain line but trying to almost outwork the opposition and that’s what they want by ball’s in good position yeah you can see straight from the hit straight from the head Bon Under Pressure one two pivotal moments anani rav’s try and the potential try RAV tried to offload to gari could have change the complexion of this one the complexion of the half look if penaton can hang in there to the last 20 could be interesting that’s that power hit from W and Benetton collaps Pon will want to hang into the last 20 because they can score from anywhere tied [Music] legs feeds El receives can the balls score before the halim break the hooa having already sounded they’re keeping this one in the rolling Malla tucked in at the back papier may be ready to kick to touch in fact he gives it off to Sebastian de cler who does the job knocks it over the touch line and the home team shaky as they may have been towards the end of that first half head into the halftime break with the lead but is the lead big enough they have been shaky in the final 20 minutes of matches over the course of the entire season a fact that was drawn attention to by their coach Jake white during the week with 17 points to eight the Bulls are leading can they hold on in this quarterfinal [Music] [Music] Wonder [Music] Yan hon with in

front foot ball talk about mum from a lineup [Music] [Applause] [Music] get [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Play on Play Run play on well well bennetton look to hit the accelerator here alanos gets it away looking for it back kobar’s hands crucial there and now getting the ball away breaks the pass over the top viit TOA sending it wide to the strike Runner rat what a try beniton bounced back they needed it they wanted it to played quickly [Music] Ur play on let Run play on [Music] [Applause] [Music] Play on Play Run play on [Music] [Applause] play him run play on [Music] [Applause] [Music] Cho please [Applause] [Music] Che please you are winning yourself L of good for you [Music] all right time to see if has got some moves today let’s go for the dance C let’s go show us the [Music] mov I like I like I like we go [Music] we let’s go [Music] right let’s Mo let’s find some [Music] f [Music] to me to me to me let go go [Music] are you ready for the second off let’s welcome back to team Mi that’s [Music] the first half is in the bag we’ve got 40 minutes remaining in the second quarterfinal of the Voom URC hanani looking at these numbers from the first 40 minutes is there anything standing out to you carries and you look at um the Endeavor from venon but it’s not how many carries you make it’s the fs of your carries how many muts you make and you probably find the balls have made 47 carries but made more meters whereas benon have made made 77 with less which means the balls are getting gain line of the verticon balls are getting gain line dominant what’s happened though is benon have made it a loose Scrappy game which shoots them perfectly the Bulls want to grind they want to scrum they want to launch of bline out that’s how we saw kly or the second try and that’s what they want to get back to get back to the structure not a loose flowing game that suits benon Kurt theer has not reappeared for the second half Serio Peterson and Sebastian de cler marshalling the two wings for the vodon Bulls we’re back underway courtesy of Thomas albos and it’s been spilled immediately by papir the heie jeebies are they setting in here at lus ffel it’s one of those R ones cuz he had time he had plenty of time and he had it and lost it there’s l so benon want to stay in touch they know nice and stable the Bulls ailles he is the last 20 minutes where the Bulls haven’t been at their best so if ever there was a chance to create that story line it’s now for [Music] binaton [Music] fine this is the first time an Italian side is featuring in the URC playoffs and they’ve won themselves a scrun penalty must go through on both sides they’re coming round on the [Music] right must come on stay in the hunt stay in the hunt would have been the message from coach Marco borami who’s gone for a 6-2 split on the bench wary of the power of the bull scrum as displayed against the sharks in round 18 they’ve handled that reasonably well up until this point conceded two penalties at scrum time but they’ve won a crucial one here and if Rhino Smith slots this kick it’ll be a one score game [Music] flags raised bennetton bring themselves within six points the Bulls lead 1711 yeah Paton have got the ability to produce that moment of magic but again you know you look at it Ambrose perier he would have done missed one out of 100 with those kicks but now is not the time to do it not in a playoff game Benetton players calling for a high tackle on fer nothing doing uren gets it away to Yaki who has been doing plenty of the hard yards for the Italian side this early afternoon uren faking the kick there gets it away to alanos bennetton going to run this one from Deep Here Comes brex as he kept control on the ground FY TOA with quickness of hands and and quickness of Mind Rave cutting in on the hard angle this time K makes his hit in Kar with a brilliant turnover Kel gets it clear to hanom Hon keeps it moving to lar plenty of space to kick into Rhino Smith on the cover oh what a kick great kick I thought there might be a chance for the not sure that Dr of 5022 you the balls early on had some composure issues in terms of line outs again getting caught that’s the launch you want you know naam K needs to get that ball away again here these are golden opportunities to get points look where the lineup position is so when they got it right Harold Foster got that run and they got a try halaf continues running it into the teeth of the Bulls defense over the top from uren Sergio Peterson waiting underneath that one loves to run the ball there Sergio Peterson beats the first takes on the second Russo is having a towering game the big number five papieren here’s hanom how dearly they would love to gain control of possession in territory again just as they did to start out the first half vly Theo sends one over the top and V just g into Von playing on quickly hold in front perhaps looking the up the tempo here in the second half after trolling it in the first that bounce unfavorable goes slightly longer than Benetton may have wanted [Music] lar that’s not a bad next result for benon driving the balls [Music] back yeah bring them on nine and four stress level Rising on the field and off a change for Benetton sees Nicolo Canon onto the field his brother is also on the bench Lorenzo and there’s the man who spilled one in the first half alesandro gari brother of Paulo gari he’s done such great things for the national sideon with the goal line drop out for the Bulls sends that one beyond the halfway line he’s going for it Albano lines it up sends it wide not a bad [Music] option now that really is the risk with that long Dropout because from a goal line Dropout especially when the game was close know do kick it short and give them a rack in your how for outside your 22 M area or he kick long guys so was it was a buter Chamberlain that used to do that you got a couple from that position longer this time from the 22 M Dropout and Garb sends one high for the beniton players to chase good measurement on that kick the knock on [Music] comes first knock on second that a better kick from Gabi alesandro gesi it forced V to come up and made it a contestable kick so that ball could go [Music] anywhere last cor I just thought you went round want to see dominance both sides not justo on one keep it nice and [Music] square keep it straight stay him either the Bulls wanted to make a statement with the scrum this is a chair you look at the scoreboard you look at the time you know that the scrum been almost been stuck between second and third G for the Bulls hasn’t really been dominant except for the first one but it’s slowed down since then but if ever they wanted to make a statement it’s now stay high give it up okay use the ball bills use it Benetton stand their ground and hukom clears from the base forall papier papier on the loop gets it away to Peterson Peterson hunted behind the line by Maliki picoa in over the ball turnover is good for rat Benetton on fire in this second half to start things off release in opposition territory gari gets it [Music] free strong run from gajo a Little Help from his friends he manages to present it back and F Tua send it to alanos some numbers out wide but the space running out isore wrapped [Music] up gari be looking to make up for that dropped ball in the first half when he was briefly on the field Alano taking it to the line delaying his pass Breck so confident on the Run oh he sent it through the legs of his number eight halaf and the movement breaks down but does it stay in field it [Applause] doesn’t B to the [Music] ball great League tle look how wide the base is from mat that’s the key you got to drop your hips but you need a nice wide base leg spread hands on the ball pass the ball and then you can scrape it [Music] up there only one time that Benetton have ever beaten the Bulls and it happened to be in a match of tremendous consequence in the final of the rainbow cup back in 2021 and it was a humbling indeed by 35 points to8 and they meet again in a Do or Die match can Benetton close down this six-point deficit great start to the second half some match will depend on the set piece they found some way for an element of parity at scrum time at line out time they’ll need to be accurate getting lucky that time with Albano tidying up Han’s turn over attempt no good got AI clears the ball surely little be preparing an attacking kick here the Italian side gari raing it to the back of the tail of the r he’ll send it long for to chase Sebastian de clar underneath this one takes it clean this time has some ready waiting big boys to crash it into the Benetton defense and crash it up they do Pap here patiently ready to [Music] clear Sebastian declar back he’s rapid he’s off to this one gari takes it clean what a hit from hanom came powering through looks to have hurt himself in the process as well his opposite number halaf on the carry penalty to the home team that’s the spark that the pools needed to Bon getting very comfortable but anacam that that’s I think he’s got a stinger he got to sting of the the feeling gets back into your shoulder nice look into The Sweet Spot the timing perfect he should be fine they’s just waiting for the feeling to come [Music] back I I thought was on the ground I thought he was on the ground yeah yeah Mig checked and he was on the ground he’s finally just got a stinger there shot on the shoulder you lose the feeling down your arm little bit of ice and water you fine hon starts that one outside the right brilliant kick from the number 10 20 points to 11 the Bulls lead one and [Music] eight Isam because of the good hit you’re allowed to gamble at the breakdown the defensive team’s going forward the cleaners have to walk the long way around [Music] couple of changes for Benetton who now Trail by those nine points we back underway albos sends it high taken in by V Theo not under pressure the bull set there oh oh I had not been shut out of this match at any point bennetton as they were in their visit in round 17 when the Bulls racked up some points and built that lead and approaching the final 20 minutes in which the Bulls have struggled they will be full of Hope choke tackle and the strip as he was about to go down ni and [Music] square B for that’s good good for me on the other [Music] side F possession and territory in favor of the visiting side has got BC takes it off the back of the scrum bra sends a short ball to fit TOA he’s asking for something from the referee she won’t be getting on a hard carry that’s the 22 M line of the Bulls playing in their own half to start out the second just as they did to end out the first hon sends it long tremendous kick in the end great kick and F to was saying that he got played early but just play on anyway and Bricks do have the ball he’s got a point they didn’t have the ball [Music] just hold on hold hold just making changes so fresh legings are going to be added from both teams’s on in the [Music] five akaun for looking focused replacement hooker for the balls H comes in over the ball as he affected the [Music] turnover on any mus turnover is good and someone in the venon team didn’t understand the detail because gener on attack you look at that I think it was it would have been ay that he made the pass he should have made the key but a good hit was made that’s why hanuk managed to get over it but attack just takes one good tackle someone forgetting the role so they the cleaner should be in already so M Laro should have been in a lot [Music] earlier yeah but he turned over for me and then he went to ground and then the players must roll but your players got in the way as well it’s either holding on or not rolling but I think it’s their B for me their both [Music] Kon looking to make a 9-point lead a 12-point lead he’s unsuccessful unsuccessful this 20 points to 11 it remains pensive mood here lus spelt they’ve been watching a celebration of tries all season record-breaking TR scoring season for the Bulls struggling to rack up the points here in their quarterfinal on home turf Corson sends it high for low to chase albor underneath that the offload quality Under Pressure Rhino Smith here push push does well in the face of charging Defenders alanos keeps it moving there’s their Captain Lar big powerful run from zoki and now it’s the danger man Rave Breaking Free again he’s got support and finds it in gari gari asked the question dancing on the touch line he’s out so so [Music] close this time he gets it G but could this have been the moment of magic that benon needed I thought he might back him to try take on Quon good handle from GUI Vu puts him down but probably need a little bit more support but Rave clear and prison danger powerful also in the close contact in the close exchanges pressure line out for the Bulls F Fe to for Quality stuff from the home team and goes long for watching this one taking it in Rave identifies Sebastian dear who stands up to the hit this time around Gabi sets it free strong Bulls defense but staying committed to the task hanon makes meters alanos gets it away to brecks brecks to feoa feoa sends it wide to menello in on cello does not give up in the tackle always pumps the legs makes a few more meters meters indeed for beneton we have the bit between their teeth now just outside the Bulls 22 FY TOA running aggressively numbers on the outside the r difficult [Music] [Applause] situation definitely High most definitely high with it’s a yellow not is what we need to see well it’s going to be something just got penalty High taer shoulder first then up up and think is with the touch line there CH in a good position just to make a good leg tackle You Got The Touch line as the extra Defender nice and low you got him out and we’ve seen games turn with cards [Music] here you think about a leg tackle and then you here think about a leg tackle h and then you look at those legs and you think again rat has been strong and defensively also he’s been a factor but the whole time just strong powerful look at that hit there coming up again power hit from him puts the hammer down that should have been a try some loose fores combination loose forward Wing but a power pace and triy scoring crucial line up this luy feeds great contest from the Captain N here but bennetton set the rolling mle here replacement hookui tucked in the back he breaks away Nan affects the tackle and look at where they are in the field now gari to his captain Laro comes crashing it up quick ball for gari and Benetton go again gari there like a dog after a bone the replacement number nine great pass to FY to a hard run from the number 12 who’s been switching places with brecks especially throughout the second half more quick ball for Gabi brecks takes it to the line great defense from the Bulls thus far but that is over alanon has kept the wi open what a [Music] try from Paton from albos and the forward drill this Lees up they were working hard around the corner but the timing and the way takes the ball flat in between two Defenders so he’s waiting here takes the ball flat in between two Defenders runs for the hole but the keys are timing and how flat he takes that ball Beats Sten found the big man against a small man the shot clock is wrong you got 30 extra seconds yes and benon have been patient they’ve been brave that is the fly fifth try in this season of the vodom you arec prolific try scoring for a fly half Rhino Smith lines up the potential conversion how crucial this may prove to [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] be South African born Rhino Smith slides it home another two points for bennetton it’s a two point game heading into the final 20 minutes he takes that flat on the line and he just dips picks Tamp well the balls I think they’re going to have to start going there’s a bit of fatigue I think maybe seting into the pack to [Music] thean they’re going have to get some fresh legs on I think kren Rano Smith able to receive and clear that’s a great [Music] clearance and Kiren coming on time off bills it but it’s at a Tipping Point N the crowd’s quiet yes the crowd’s very quiet here thank you uh how many five man time on five man [Music] man feeds Ria juggles but takes it in and the Bulls need to pull themselves towards themselves that’s for sure the Ring Mall is set but not making any ground and now they must use prolific TR scorer this season must release here’s Harold Foster taking it to the line aggressive defense from the diminutive by comparison albos Wilco low with a hard carry as always papier preparing to send one over the top Sebastian de cler in position to chase slightly shallow that kick the cler gets there all the same it’s bound favorably for forar Pap toen hunting him behind the line Hon’s beaten a couple he’s taken it on his shoulders gets it away to Ambrose papier papier sends it wide to [Applause] KR now the crowds come along they were nervous but the PS needed something they needed some X Factor and it came from your own H but some good things in then try some really great work the support play of Ambrose pepia in the pass also so it was loose it was unstructured but look at papier how he follows his pass of course gets the hole it opens up I look at the touch and go he gets it away he’s got the vision to see there’s numbers out wide and over goes Kel started by hon finished by Kel but prep the man in the middle the ability to deliver that pass straight in front of his [Music] man it’s simple but it’s beautiful and the crowd needed that the Bulls needed that they want to come to work on Monday 11th try in this season’s URC competition for David KR who has been putting his hand up since game one as has yanen coming into this match the number twoo scorer in the [Applause] competition this to make a seven-point game a nine-point game and a two-score game and it’s straight over the Bulls lead [Applause] [Music] 2718 look at ambr there’s defending in front of him just gets that P [Music] perfect we are here for you good hanging kick and it’s been knocked on again playing away gari can on a hard carry jiannis Kiren onto the field there for the Bulls Advantage is over advantage over for Benetton alanos to fitor fitor seeing that there were players in the path takes it into contact GB providing quick ball time after time for the Italian side powering through the tackles once more is the young 21-year-old menello gari great offload before contact by Eli snan another South African in the Benetton ranks Daka also famous bonian oh where’s the advantage [Music] there okay where’s the advantage straight knock the PS were gone I think akaa for once he didn’t score the try give it to someone else to score [Music] okay great pick up from the hooker think had good stability okay happy with the stability yeah okay yeah happy with stability y okay let’s [Music] go dominating possession Bon forcing the balls into tremendous number of tackles Bulls and the sa rugby presidents enjoying the scenes for the time being okay and big things to come remember the island game against the spring box just around the corner but happen still com me a lot we do need more space the and wait for the call happy there happy there okay now they’ll be looking forward to a potential home semifinal next weekend should the balls get over the line here what an occasion that would be at L’s first [Music] Bel F difficult scrum to defend here straight in the middle of the field so plenty of options gotb racing to the back of the scrum to get that ball free it’s away to brex occupies Defenders every time he carries the ball gotb slightly slower than he would have liked on that ball good strong run the tackle affected in the end or is it still on his feet and powering forward release please now he must be released Gabi gets it away no look past to Alan and Rhino Smith gets one out the back of the hand FY to can’t hold on it’s on a knife’s edge this match one try brings Benetton back into the mix cleared to Canan GB good strong running from Benetton consistency in the carry as well can’t get the pass away Eli snan got BC to Almanor there might be some space on the outside here for FY to it’s open Gates well penaton they just won’t go away they just won’t go away and we mention how good they are on attack but getting good momentum especially around around the Rock area but the balls I mean you got willo next to Sergio Peterson now Sergio Peterson’s got to look after willlow because he doesn’t want a one-onone with the backline player so that makes the defense narrow and if the passing is accurate you’ll get burnt on the outside could have been ugly there you look at half’s knee bent Buckle [Music] slightly what a soldier Malachai feoa New Zealand international with 24 caps to his name before native players were allowed to represent the country of their birth a few years back and he changed to Tonga and now has 11 cap for Tonga at International level also played sevens for Tonga Rhino [Music] [Applause] [Music] Smith Smith starts it wide and ends It Wide it remains a four-point game the Bulls lead 2723 an unconverted try would snatch the lead for the visiting team yeah just working hard off the ball of beniton all the damage has been done in between the rack area around the rack area they’re getting good momentum enjoying it it’s a great try look at you look at that from a coaching Point View in the box there the hard work that was done by the forth the accuracy of passing the ability to attack the short side get the ball into wi or get it into space brilliant the final 12 minutes of the match another knock on from the kickoff this time it’s Rhino Smith Foster claims it must be released must be released puts it down gets up and goes again papier big big contact Clopper on the carry hon gets it to laru sends it wide for decar de clar asked the question great Tackle by garbc foot and touch okay go at the moment it’s you score I score and what the balls want to do is double up their scoring just to wrap it up but B 10 15 yeah just out probably should have let go of the ball and tried to throw it back just hold on you’ve got player injured here and we’re making a change to number 15 Jacob to the field the player that scored and converted to snatch Victory away from the Sharks on their most recent visitors saw Africa what a crucial victory that turned out to be in the chase for the8 flags flying at L’s first felt now it’s time to get behind the team we’re heading for the final 10 minutes and there’s a four-point lead that they’re clutching onto okay uh you’re being SED okay just close being St big hit that one to have the highly impactful on Rave potentially coming from the field he’s in big trouble the big Wing okay ton [Music] foran lucazi hits his Target got to BC gets it free how do Benetton approach chasing down this four-point deficit they can’t afford for the balls to score a game albanov goes long de Clair is back there to receive does well tracking back and V Theo calls for him to chase the kick L sends it high this one hugging the touch line very good kick from laru marked by Alano and V pin pinning pin it on back but you you want you want to make that a contest in the air got a bad little panana shaped kick hugged up against the touch line Y there you go but now it all becomes about [Music] territory AK feeds the line out hits rard lud a young Talent here in Breaking from the back AKA fva can he keep himself in field he can taking on a number of Defenders Jan has cursed him with a consequential clear out what a pass that from Fran klopper great form filling in at half back from the front ranker papier away toon here’s the captain noria can they control possession put some more points on the board and put this match further away from Benetton still 9 minutes to play papia skips out ker goes foren Foster on the papier Manan Zima Val the waiting till the very last second to make the kick umanga forced to chase it to the corner great kick from Valu that’s the experience of Vu not they experience the left foot but he knows just pin it back in this situation it’s all about territory let benon play but let them play on their side of the world well they half as long as they’re down that side and you back your defensive structures you’ll be okay eventually they’ll overplay make a mistake and then that would be the Bulls chance fourman so pinning them back playing the percentages beautifully ly hits the mark once more Canon on the r galy over the top the measurement perfect sigil Peterson coming forward to receive but Benetton get hands on the ball who touched that before touch I’ve got it back off Benetton that’s okay okay time off just got an injured player [Music] here menello down getting some treatment born in triso hometown of Benetton rugby [Music] hanani this one hanging in the balance which way do you see it leaning look the the territory I’d go purely because I think they’ got the strongest they haven’t showed much of it today might come back just the Bulls [Music] but I tell you what this is a team that was scraping last weekend to make it to the top eight to make it to this position so we’ve got it off the air backwards and then put up a good fight Min andell what a good play he has 21 years old fantastic player at Wing today outside Center but he can play he can play Man receivers at the front less than 8 minutes to play in this quarterfinal of the UR see and the vodon Bulls at home lead by just a four point Saka in the back of that rolling mall and Benetton have resisted well once again with the bulls making some ground able to keep this one in the rolling mall for once for a man of a breaks from the back just outside their opposition’s 22 M line France while Clopper carries to set the r here’s jannis Kirsten a player that’s won the gallaga premiership and the Champions Cup tremendous experience to come into the squad this late into the season after a big injury after signing at the beginning Harold forc it truck down and an advantage being played to the Bulls as well on the back of that it is massive that is big that is big 19 di off feet what called was was it for a no arms tackle must be on your feet to make a tackle diving dangerous tackle so once more Yan Ken steps up to get the job done for his vodom [Music] Bulls yeah we’re seeing them making it back yeah okay we all yeah thanks hon clean strike he’s accurate it’s over the Bulls lead by seven points you’re on the Bulls just playing playing it better you saw trying to build pressure through the mall driving benon back but from what D seen for this game no one’s been able to get a kickoff so chances are there’ll be a knock on here we’re going with the with the trend of the game who’s going to get underneath this one nobody claiming it and it’s start happened again the chances no way well it’s it’s I’ve never seen this there’s three of them around and no one called for it so Kirsten poor Kirsten he was the last man standing and he PES it nice and slow good stability nice and slow keep the good stability it wasn’t the commentator’s curse it was the commentator’s prediction which was 100% accurate keep it up let’s go seen it from both teams it’s long kicks with no pressure well hardly any pressure you got players around you get up in the air catch it and March it up let’s go let’s go yeah you you got to have a look at F to is your go-to guy the [Music] power what a pivotal moment in the game got be to

protect former sa under 20 player born in harrar in Zimbabwe Under Pressure he’s for to pick it up and set her Ro without a run heading to the final three minutes of the match a converted try takes us
