Bulls head coach Johan Ackermann said he was proud of the players who came into the side in place of several regulars and delivered big performances in their thumping 5217 win over the Lions on Saturday.
The Bulls responded to their 4333 defeat to the Johannesburg side at Loftus in November in emphatic style, winning eight tries to two at Ellis Park.
The Bulls had changed five in their backline , as the likes of Springboks Willie le Roux and Canan Moodie missed out. Regular captain Ruan Nortj lock also missed out due to illness.
