Goosen gets the match underway for the Bulls, taken up by Farrell

Connacht host the Bulls in round 2 of the United Rugby Championship. Both sides suffered defeats in the opening round, with Connacht going down 33-21 away to the Cardiff Blues and the Bulls losing 31-3 at Leinster.

Connacht and the Bulls will be seeking to claim their first points of the season after Round 1 defeats to Cardiff and Leinster respectively.



The Irish province have not lost their opening two matches in a league campaign since 2016/17 and will be boosted by their solid record when playing South African teams.



They have won eight of their nine meetings, with the defeat coming by just one point when going down to the Cheetahs in March 2018. The Bulls head to Ireland for their first encounter with Connacht having last won away from South Africa against the Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby in 2019.
