FULL TIME! 43-26. Bulls dominated the first half but Ospreys were better in the second. The visitors inability to score points back-to-back has cost them dearly. But the Bulls deserve their bonus point win while Ospreys also get a four-try bonus point.
Steyn misses the conversion, another one he'd expect to make. Fortunately it won't make any difference.
TRY! BULLS! BURGER! 43-26. Another error from kick off by the Ospreys. Their exits have been horrific which has resulted in them unable to score points back-to-back. Burger dives over this time.
CONVERSION! WALSH! 38-26. 12 point game with that conversion but too little time to make a comeback. Had they not conceded that last try we could have had a good finish.
TRY! OSPREYS! HENRY! 38-24. They get their bonus point try! The maul does its job before a breakaway. Bulls are short on numbers to stop Henry.
Ospreys with a lineout inside the Bulls 22.
CONVERSION! STEYN! 38-19. This time Steyn makes no mistake.
TRY! BULLS! NORTJE! 36-19. That should be the end of any hopes the Ospreys had. Brilliant handling for the try, two magnificent offloads sees Nortje dive over.
Steyn rather surprisingly misses the kick. It wasn't easy by any means but by his standards he will feel its a missed opportunity.
Sign of how the second half has gone. Bulls win a penalty on the Ospreys 10m line and Morne Steyn points to the uprights.
Crucial penalty win by the Bulls on their own 22. They haven't really played in this second half, they seem happy to let Ospreys come at them.
Ospreys back on the Bulls line but they then lose possession. If they manage to score next it could be game on.
Conversion attempt is wide. One would have expected Walsh to slot that.
TRY! OSPREYS! WILLIAMS! 31-19. After a few minutes on the Bulls line Williams finally finishes off from close range.
No points in the second half as yet. It has been error strewn but Ospreys have a chance here.
Good opportunity for Ospreys with Walsh at the heart of it again. Poor handling allows the Bulls off the hook.
Scrappy opening minutes to this second half. Both sides making a few handling errors.
Strong start by the Bulls again but Ospreys hold Du Plessis up over the line.
KICK OFF! 31-14. Smith gets the second half underway. Ospreys have a long way back to get anything from this game.
HALF TIME! 31-14. Bulls have been dominant but will be disappointed that the Ospreys have scored twice. The bonus point is in the bag for the hosts though so they will just want to see the game out in the final 40.
CONVERSION! SMITH! 31-14. Smith slots this with his first kick that isn't from the touchline.
TRU! BULLS! 29-14. Just as Ospreys think they have clawed their way back they make a silly error and the Bulls score their fifth.
CONVERSION! WALSH! 24-14. We are back to a 10 point game at Loftus.
TRY! OSPREYS! WHEELER! 24-12. Ospreys score again. A lovely grubber by Walsh fools the Bulls defence and Wheeler just has to dive on it for the five pointer.
CONVERSION! SMITH! 24-7. Another try in the corner but this time Smith nails the kick.
TRY! BULLS! KRIEL! 22-7. Bonus point for the Bulls as Kriel goes over for his brace. Superb offload by Mapoe after a mess at the back by Ospreys.
Ospreys certainly coming into the game a bit more. They have a bit more possession but still struggling on defence.
CONVERSION! WALSH! 17-7. Easy kick for Walsh as he converts his own try.
TRY! OSPREYS! WALSH! 17-5. That's a good try from turnover ball. Walsh ran a good inside support line which resulted in an easy finish under the posts.
Breakout by Ospreys following a lineout win on the Bulls throw. The tackle is made on the Bulls 22 but weirdly no advantage for the hosts. Their ball was clearly slowed down.
Smith is just wide with this conversion attempt.
TRY! BULLS! STEENKAMP! 17-0. Steenkamp is over in the corner as well, seems the Bulls don't want Smith to have any easy kicks today. But it is all too easy, Ospreys defence must still be stuck in Wales.
Crucial turnover penalty won by Williams 8 meters from his own line. Ospreys get a reprieve.
All the calls going the Bulls way at the moment. Some have seemed rather dubious. But another lineout to the Bulls deep inside Ospreys half.
This time Smith is wide with his conversion attempt.
TRY! BULLS! CARR! 12-0. Carr goes over in the same corner as Kriel just minutes ago. A brilliant Du Plessis turnover deep inside his own half sparked a counter attack. Three phases later and Carr does superbly to beat his man and finish out wide.
Ospreys concede a scrum penalty on the Bulls 22. Very tough call on the visitors after looking the dominant side at that scrum.
CONVERSION! SMITH! 7-0. Superb conversion from the touchline by the Bulls flyhalf.
TRY! BULLS! KRIEL! 5-0. Kriel is over in the corner after a superb move off the back of a lineout. Phase on try, Ospreys will wonder how their defence was so easily out-foxed.
Good play by the Bulls. They take it through the phases and find plenty of space out wide. Eventually Smith tries the cross-kick but it falls just short of Jacobs.
Early turnover for the Bulls and they go wide. Simelane makes good meters before being taken into touch inside Ospreys half.
KICK OFF! 0-0. Ospreys get proceedings underway at Loftus Versfeld.
Typical Pretoria weather today. Huge storm with lightning, hail and plenty of rain. Now, sunshine!
It looks like we are going to get underway in a couple of minutes.
A 30 minute delay is expected. We will keep you updated.
There is a delay to kick off in Pretoria due to lightning.
Kick off is at 15:00 SAST. Join us then for all the live action.

Ospreys on the other hand have struggled thus far and with Wales playing, they are missing key players. With just one win in seven this season, the Welsh could be in for a long afternoon.
The Bulls are well placed in the URC after seven matches with five wins, a draw and a defeat. They are fourth on the table and will certainly want the points from today's home clash.
