The Vodacom Bulls claimed the SA Rugby U21 Cup with a clinical performance against the Lions at Loftus Versfeld on Friday.
The hosts scored six tries in their 41-26 victory to put the U21 Cup in the Loftus trophy cabinet along with the U20 and U19 silverware.
The Varsity Cup also resides in Pretoria after Tuks defended their title earlier this year.
It was sweet revenge for the Bulls, who lost 27-20 to the Lions at the end of the league phase of the competition last month.
Junior Boks hooker Tiaan Lange scored two tries from powerful lineout mauls, while fullback Franco Knoetze and SA U20 utility back Compion von Ludwig, playing at flyhalf, also crossed the line as the Bulls raced into a 24-7 lead.
The Lions fought back well after the break to edge 26-24 ahead, but three more Bulls tries, including two by lock Marco de Witt, secured the win.
Bulls U21 – Tries: Tiaan Lange (2), Franco Knoetze, Compion von Ludwig, Marco de Witt (2). Conversions: Tiaan Fourie (4). Drop goal: Knoetze.
Lions U21 – Tries: Jarod Cairns, Renzo du Plessis (2), Connor van Vuuren. Conversions: Sam Francis (3).
