**Cornal Hendricks crossed for a hat-trick of tries as the Vodacom Bulls claimed a 38-31 bonus-point win at the Ospreys to put pressure on Munster and the DHL Stormers in the race for a top-four finish.** Madosh Tambwe, Chris Smith and Canan Moodie also touched down for the Bulls, while Smith contributed eight further points from the kicking tee. The result lifts the Bulls to third with a two-point cushion over Munster and the Stormers, who travel to Leinster and the Scarlets respectively on Saturday. Two bonus points for the Ospreys, meanwhile, mean the Scarlets must beat the Stormers to deny their west Wales rivals top spot in the Welsh Shield and a place in the Heineken Champions Cup. The Ospreys scored four tries of their own courtesy of Jac Morgan, Luke Morgan (2) and Sam Parry, with Gareth Anscombe kicking 11 points.
