The Bulls continued their late season Super 14 resurgence with a convincing 28-17 win over the Brumbies at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria, on Friday.

The three tries to two victory by the Bulls means the Brumbies are now formally out of the running for a place in the play-offs - with just one round to go. The Bulls, who have won their last three matches after a five-match losing, have restored some pride with this performance.
