The SA teams again swept all comers in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship, ending round three with a haul of 19 log points out of a possible 20.

The action started on Friday night, when the Vodacom Bulls defeated Connacht 28-14 for a third straight win and their second successive bonus-point victory.

The SA momentum was maintained in Wales, where the Emirates Lions completed a Welsh double by defeating Cardiff by 31-18, with the men from Joburg securing the bonus-point try late on.

In Cape Town, the DHL Stormers withstood a strong start by Edinburgh to secure another local full house of log points, as the defending champions won 34-18 in a repeat of last season’s quarter-final in the shadow of Table Mountain.

In the final match of the weekend, the Cell C Sharks showed big character to fight back from 19-6 down to score two late converted tries for a 20-19 win over Dragons in Newport.
