Why it matters
This victory marks a strong start for the Boland Cavaliers in the Currie Cup tournament, impacting early-season standings.
The Boland Cavaliers opened their Currie Cup campaign with a gritty win against the Vodacom Bulls XV in Wellington on Sunday.
Last season’s semi-finalists scored three tries to one in wet and muddy conditions to win 24-10.
Boland struck early when hooker Joshua Eras went over from a lineout maul. Fullback James Tedder kicked the touchline conversion before leaving the field.
The Cavaliers continued to pile on the pressure, with the Bulls paying the price for repeated infringements when lock Nicolaas Janse van Rensburg was yellow-carded.
Just as he was set to return to the field, prop Dayan van der Westhuizen scored Boland’s second try, converted by winger Jayden Bantom.
