Louw, Le Roux on song as Bulls pack set up big URC win over Cardiff at Loftus
Sunday Tribune
|May 11, 2025
THE Bulls’ imperious march to the United Rugby Championship playoffs continued against Cardiff at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday afternoon, thanks to a ruthless performance from their forwards in a commanding first half.
The Bulls took their foot off the accelerator in the second half, but convincingly won 45-21 to continue their quest for a second-place finish on the URC points table.
Cardiff were in sixth position on the log going into kickoff, but the Welshmen were shut out of the game by a home forward pack led inspirationally by veteran Marcell Coetzee, while tighthead prop Wilco Louw was nothing short of monstrous.
The latter has been enjoying a stellar season, and what a boost it will be for the Springboks in the looming international season to have Louw in this form, considering the injury to Frans Malherbe.
The Bulls totally dominated the first half and Cardiff were lucky to be 31-0 down at the break.
