Red-hot Papier propels Bulls past Munster

Embrose Papier scored two tries as the Vodacom Bulls held off Munster at Loftus on Saturday. The scrumhalf was a surprise omission from the first Springbok alignment camp of the year and sent Rassie Erasmus another reminder of his ability with a Man of the Match performance in sweltering Highveld conditions. The Bulls’ 34-31 win took them up to seventh on the Vodacom URC log, one point behind their Irish opponents, with four rounds remaining. ALSO: Munster face financial turmoil Both sides were guilty of early handling errors, with the Bulls failing to capitalise on a breakdown penalty won by flyhalf Handré Pollard and a scrum penalty earned by centurion Gerhard Steenekamp, who sent Michael Ala’alatoa airborne. After last week’s 45-0 defeat to the Sharks in Durban, Munster were boosted by the return of Ireland halfbacks Craig Casey and Jack Crowley, with the latter instrumental in their first try at Loftus, scored by winger Seán O’Brien at the end of the first quarter. The hosts drew level on the 30-minute mark when Papier broke away from a scrum on halfway to score a stunning try. “He continues to bring the magic.” 🪄 Embrose Papier with a stunning individual effort Stream #VURC on DStv: https://t.co/0P0NNhnwKw pic.twitter.com/GQFfDYKcoa — SuperSport Rugby (@SSRugby) March 28, 2026 The Bulls were reduced to 14 men when Bok lock Ruan Nortjé was yellow-carded for head-to-head contact at a ruck, but it didn’t prevent them from dotting down again through winger Canan Moodie to make it 14-7 at the break. The visitors hit back early in the second half through flank Tom Ahern, before Nortjé returned to the field having avoided a bunker-review red. Papier then scored his second try after collecting lock Ruan Vermaak’s kick downfield after Munster had lost possession on the Bulls’ 22.

Pollard converted the bonus-point try and then added a 49m penalty goal to stretch the lead to 12. ALSO: Injury heartbreak for rising star Giliomee Munster stormed back again, with Crowley’s 50:22 leading to a try for fullback Ben O’Connor under the posts. Pollard’s second penalty goal gave the Bulls some breathing room, only for a Cobus Wiese knock-on from the restart to gift the visitors a scrum. They scored soon after, through replacement lock Edwin Edogbo, with Crowley’s conversion hitting the right-hand upright. But a clever Le Roux kick enabled the Bulls to finish the game deep in Munster territory and come away with a valuable five-point haul. BULLS – Tries: Embrose Papier (2), Canan Moodie, Cheswill Jooste. Conversions: Handré Pollard (4). Penalties: Pollard (2). MUNSTER – Tries: Seán O’Brien, Tom Ahern (2), Ben O’Connor, Edwin Edogbo.
