Munster up to third after brilliant win away to Bulls

Munster posted a statement victory in their quest for back-to-back BKT United Rugby Championship titles as they beat the Bulls 27-22 at Loftus Versfeld.

Scrum-half Conor Murray's try six minutes from time secured a bonus-point victory in Pretoria and took Munster above the Bulls into third place.

The home team had out-half Johan Goosen sent off after 54 minutes for a dangerous challenge on Craig Casey, who didn't return from a HIA, and Munster kept their composure to claim an outstanding win.

Wing Shane Daly, lock RG Snyman and replacement back-row forward John Hodnett also claimed touchdowns, with out-half Jack Crowley kicking two conversions and a penalty.

The Bulls, despite fielding many of their international stars, had to be content with a losing bonus following tries by Elrigh Louw, Kurt-Lee Arendse and Johan Grobbelaar while Goosen added a penalty and two conversions.
