'massive, Indescribable': Captain Ruan Nortje Hails Bulls Effort In Historic Urc Triumph Over Munster

Bulls captain Ruan Nortj praised his teams never-say-die attitude after the Pretoria side produced heroic defence to hold out Munster in a thrilling 16-13 United Rugby Championship victory in Limerick on Saturday night.

The win saw the South Africans move up to second on the URC log temporarily on 54 points, the same as Glasgow, who were playing against Zebre at the time of writing.

The Bulls completed their Grand Slam of Irish teams this season, after getting past Ulster 47-21, Connacht 28-14 and Leinster 21-20, while they also made history by becoming the first SA side to win at Thomond Park as they avenged last years 27-22 defeat to Munster at Loftus Versfeld.

Despite Keagan Johannes 73rd-minute penalty, the Bulls looked shaky in the closing stages of Saturday nights epic showdown in Limerick.

Coach Jake Whites side went up 16-13 with Johannes terrific three-pointer from close to the Munster 10-metre line after he missed a much easier penalty from near the 22 a few minutes before that.
