Bulls are their own worst enemies as Munster claim Limerick victory
The Vodacom Bulls suffered a disappointing 26-22 defeat against Munster in the United Rugby Championship. Despite having a numerical advantage in possession, the Bulls struggled with poor game management and execution.
Why it matters
This result impacts the standings and momentum of the Bulls in a major international rugby tournament.
On a night when it seemed everything was in their favour, the Vodacom Bulls produced a forgettable performance to go down 26-22 against Munster in their Vodacom United Rugby Championship match in Limerick on Saturday.
To say the scoreline flattered the Bulls would be a massive understatement. Coming off a 40 point win over Zebre and into a game against a Munster side beset with injuries, off-field issues and the departure of their CEO under a cloud, everything was in their favour to get their second win in as many games on tour.
But what transpired was a performance to be forgotten. A Bulls side that could not exit their own red zone, who made countless errors and looked both rattled and under pressure all night was nowhere near what they needed to be to pull off a win in Ireland.
