With two rounds to go in the round-robin stage of the competition, the Bulls occupy the 8th spot in the standings.

The Bulls got revenge over Benetton on the weekend with a 46-29 win at Loftus Versfeld and this victory has kept their chances alive.

The Bulls coach, Jake White, said their destiny is in their own hands.

“Who would have thought that the South African sides are vying for one of the top spots?

“As it works out now, look at the Stormers, if things go their way, they can be number one next week.

“Six weeks ago, who would have said that there is a chance.

“We can only control what we can control. We've got two games left, one at home and one away.

“We've got to make sure that we play as well as we can and get wins. Whatever happens around that we can't control. We can only control those two results.”

On Friday the Bulls host the Glasgow Warriors while on Saturday the Lions face Benetton, the Stormers tackle Leinster and the Sharks face Connacht.
