Meanwhile, the other teams struggled – the DHL Stormers, playing with 14 men, lost 38-34 to Ulster, the Hollywoodbets Sharks suffered a narrow 10-7 defeat against Leinster, and the Emirates Lions were heavily beaten 42-0 by the Glasgow Warriors.
Following these results, the Vodacom Bulls held onto third place with 50 points, while the Hollywoodbets Sharks stayed fourth with 45 points.
The DHL Stormers dropped to 10th place with 35 points, and the Emirates Lions slipped to 14th with 30 points.
With four pool games left, the Bulls and Sharks aim to stay in the top four for a chance at home quarter-finals.
The Stormers and Lions, however, must fight for wins to keep their playoff hopes alive.
