Bulls vs Highlanders – Game Thread

Published 13 March 2010 | By grootblousmile

Bulls (36) 50 / Highlanders (14) 35 (final score)

The Bulls hosted the Highlanders at Loftus, Pretoria at 17:05 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.

Final score Bulls 50 / 35. Bulls have their bonus point win but they’ve conceeded just too many tries and points….

Defence is a problem….. they have to work on it, seriously because the better teams will exploit this….

It is at least a win for a SA side today…. and Bulls are 1st on the Log again…. 20 Log points out of a possible 20 for them.

It now makes 13 Super 14 wins in a row at home and 10 in a row in Super 14 games.

Scores:

Bulls: 6 Conversions & 1 Penalty Morne Steyn, 1 Try Gary Botha, 2 Tries Francois Hougaard, 1 Try Gerhard van den Heever, 1 Try Wynand Olivier, 2 Tries Pierre Spies

Highlanders: 3 Conversions Matt Berquist, 3 Tries & 2 Conversions Israel Dagg, 1 Try Tim Boys, 1 Try Robbie Robinson

The more you practise and the better you get the luckier you get. Gary Player. This applies to the Bulls
