Lions stunned by 14-man Bulls
Despite playing the vast majority of the match with inferior numbers, the Bulls managed to claim a morale-boosting 24-31 win in the Currie Cup at Ellis Park on Saturday.
Fred Eksteen was red-carded in the 19th minute, leaving the Bulls to play for over an hour with just 14 men. On top of that, Andries Ferreira was sin-binned in the 61st minute, meaning the visitors had a spell of 10 minutes with just 13 players on the field.
