As hard as it may be to believe, we are already halfway through the competition.

Teams have now settled into the competition and are starting to look to carrying on momentum through to the top four and onwards. 

The competition is still reasonably open with over half the teams within a shot of making the semi-finals.

Although, all didn't run smoothly for the Bulls as the Force led 12-10 at the break after some tenacious defence held the Bulls to only one try in the first 40.

They seemed to find another gear in the second half, as they have done so often this year, and came back to win 28-15 thanks to two second-half tries.

Positives:  Still unbeaten. Have the best maul in the competition and t...
