Big rewards for teams that "get it"

The Bulls' victory over the Cheetahs last weekend seemed to be everything you would want from a Super 14 game and seemed to be the perfect advertisement for the recent law directives, according to Brendan Nel on Supersport.

"With Super 14’s new law interpretations a week old, it was a telling conversation that took place last week with a leading international referee, who defended the new laws despite my initial hesitation about it.

“If teams adapt well to the new interpretations,” he enthused, “then the stage is set for big games – those 65-42 victories that we all like to watch - lots of tries, entertaining and where both sides can give themselves a chance on the scoreboard.”

"Little did I know that a few hours later we would have been treated to such a feast in Bloemfontein, as the Bulls adapted very well and in one of the most entertaining games of any Super 14 competition beat the Cheetahs 51-34."
