# Rugby: The Vodacom Bulls survived a late rally to earn a hard-fought 28-27 win over Irish side Connacht in their United Rugby Championship match in Galway on Friday night. Although there were defensive improvements from the Bulls, they still conceded four tries, while scoring three of their own. In a controversial incident, Bulls hooker Jan-Hendrik Wessels was accused by Josh Murphy of grabbing his groin at a ruck, prompting Murphy to lash out and strike Wessels in the face. Television replays showed no evidence of the ruck incident, but the blow in the face cost Murphy a 20-minute red card.
