At Pretoria, South Africa:
Fourie Du Preez and Brian Habana each scored two tries as the Bulls (based in Pretoria, South Africa) routed the Chiefs (Hamilton, New Zealand) 61-17 to win the Super 14 Rugby Union club championship on Saturday. It was the Pretoria-based club's second such title. They are the only So
uth African club to win the championship of the Southern Hemisphere's most prestigious Rugby Union club tournament. Here are the happy Bulls with the championship trophy.
At Edinburgh, Scotland:
Jamie Heaslip scored a try (five points in Rugby Union), Brian O'Driscoll (who's pictured here) added a drop goal (three points) and Jonathan Sexton had three three-point goals (two penalty and o
ne drop) as Leinster captured the Heineken Cup final 19-16 over Leicester Tigers
of England on Saturday. It marked the Irish club's first championship in European Club Rugby Union's biggest tournament, sort of their equivalent of the UEFA Champions League. That's Brian holding the big prize.
