Bulls ran in nine tries in a humiliating 59-19 last-16 hammering of Lyon in the Champions Cup on Saturday afternoon in Pretoria. 

The win, over a much-changed French side, sets up a quarter-final meeting next weekend with the winners of Sunday's meeting of Northampton and Munster at Franklin's Gardens.
