Bulls centre Wynand Olivier scored a hat-trick to lead his team to a 47-10 thrashing of the Melbourne Rebels in the Super 15 on Saturday.
It took only 28 minutes for the Bulls to secure a bonus point for scoring four tries and they ran out the game with seven.
The game was over at half-time as Olivier ran in two first-half tries, with full-back Zane Kirchner also running in twice as they opened up a 40-3 lead.
Winger Bjorn Basson and stand-in captain Fourie du Preez also scored in the first half.
The second half was more even as Olivier completed his hat-trick with 20 minutes to play and Cooper Vuna crossed for the Rebels.
The win keeps the Bulls within reach of a top six spot, while the Rebels are second last.
