F-T: Scarlets 20, Ulster 31.
A vital bonus point victory for play-off chasing Ulster.
Indiscipline cost the Scarlets dear as they conceded two tries in the period where they had two players in the sin bin.

H-T: Scarlets 6, Ulster 3.
The Scarlets go into the break down to 13 men after yellow cards for flanker Taine Plumtree and scrum-half Gareth Davies in the closing stages of the half.
All the points coming via the boot so far in the west Wales sunshine.

F-T: Bulls 40, Glasgow 34.
A cracker at Pretoria's Loftus Versfeld.
It seemed over as contest when the Bulls lead 37-10 inside the final quarter, but three tries in the space of eight minutes from Glasgow set up a grandstand finish.
5-2 on match points.

What a game this is at Loftus!
Three quick tries from Glasgow have cut the Bulls' lead to 37-31 with eight minutes to go.

Marco van Staden certainly keeps referees on their toes at the breakdown. Lives right on the edge, like all good jackaling opensides.

H-T: Bulls 24, Glasgow 10 A high quality game on the high Veldt. Three tries to one as fourth hosts first at Pretoria's Loftus Versfeld. Flanker Elrigh Louw's score just before the break the highlight, created by a searing break from deep by Kurt Lee Arendse

Cameron Hanekom is so explosive and such an athlete. Excellent close-quarter finish there from the Bulls No 8 there, showing good footwork and good strength.
Bulls leading Glasgow 14-7 after 26 minutes.

Another smart lineout move, thus time from the Official Blue Bulls , with hooker Akker van der Merwe scoring his ninth BKT United Rugby Championship (URC) try of the season.
This is shaping up into a cracker already. It's 7-7 with Glasgow down to 14 men with Kyle Steyn in the bin.

That was such a cute lineout move from Glasgow, executed to perfection via the power of Matt Fagerson. Straight off the training field. Further proof of the meticulous planning of Franco Smith. His table-toppers lead the Bulls 7-0 at Loftus Versfeld.

Dragons coach Dai Flanagan on the team's supporters: โ€œThey have stuck with us in a season where they probably could not have stuck with us. They drive us on really well and we need to give it back to them.โ€
