Kurt-Lee Arendse scored a brace of tries as a 14-man Vodacom Bulls outfit beat the Ospreys to kick off their European tour with a bonus-point win in Swansea on Saturday.
Tries from winger Arendse, co-captain Elrigh Louw and scrumhalf Embrose Papier and three conversions from flyhalf Boeta Chamberlain powered the Bulls to a 26-5 half-time lead in the round 4 Vodacom URC clash at Swansea.com Stadium.
However, the visitors were down to 13 men soon after the restart, inside centre David Kriel seeing red for a dangerous fend on flyhalf Dan Edwards, before Louw earned 10 minutes on the naughty chair for a deliberate knock-on.

Replacement Bulls prop Alulutho Tshwakweni also copped a yellow card for a head-on-head collision, but Chamberlain split the uprights from the kicking tee inside the final minutes to put the game out of reach of the hosts in a 29-19 win for Jake White’s charges.
For the Ospreys, Edwards and Jack Walsh notched a conversion apiece to complement tries from hooker Dewi Lake, left winger Ryan Conbeer and No 8 Morgan Morris.
The unbeaten Bulls will now regroup to face the Scarlets at Parc y Scarlets on Friday, before bringing the curtain down on their overseas trip against Benetton in Treviso on 25 October.
