Two late intercept tries from WP speedsters Damian Markus and Luke Burger also gave the hosts a vital try-scoring bonus point.

It was WP's second win over the Bulls in the Currie Cup this season, having also upset their arch-rivals 41-33 at Loftus in March.

Centre Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu was a star for the home side as he contributed 16 points that included a try, four conversions and a penalty.

It was an impressive win for WP, who were considered underdogs against a Bulls side that featured several URC stars, including the likes of Springboks Marco van Staden, Johan Goosen, Cornal Hendricks and Kurt-Lee Arendse.

Feinberg-Mngomezulu crossed the whitewash in the 10th minute, before impressive lock Dylan de Leeuw scored seven minutes later.

It allowed WP to go into the half-time break leading 14-0.            .

The Capetonians dominated the early parts of the second half and went 17-0 ahead when Feinberg-Mngomezulu slotted a penalty at the 50-minute mark.

A few minutes later WP thought they had the game wrapped up when replacement hooker Andre-Hugo Venter scored after a powerful driving maul. However, the try was cancelled after TMO Marius Jonker deemed there was obstruction by a WP player at the lineout.

The Bulls got on the scoreboard in the 61st minute when replacement centre Harold Vorster rounded off under the posts after collecting a kick over the WP defence.
