Super14 Round Up
The Bulls began their reign as defenders of the Super 14 realm with a gritty 16-9 win in Cape Town over the Stormers. Trailing 9-7 at half-time, Bryan Habana found space down the blindside to dive over and secure a hard-fought first victory over their South African rivals. However, celebrations were brief after the IRB Player of the Year was ruled out for a month with a cruciate injury to his knee.
Substitute, Earl Rose, kicked a match-winning penalty six minutes from time to seal a sensational comeback triumph for the Lions over the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein. The Cheetahs were quickest out of the blocks and raced into a 22-13 lead, but the Lions creative enterprise in midfield proved the difference with the Cheetahs eventually running out of steam despite outscoring their victors, three tries to two.
