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.

This could become boreing, a whitewash of note 😈
Meisiekind got be first choice bok center.
Lyk baie los die game, maar deesdae kan ons ook los speel. Maar ons staan ook baie punte af so.
Puma
True brudda, love them or hate them, but this Bulls outfit is pure class.
Depending on their overseas games, they should win this thing again, easily.
Hugger
Yes, Meisiekind is very under-rated, damn good player.
OMG HE HAS A PALM TREE PONYTAIL ON THE TOP OF HIS HEAD.
Try Dagg again… eish
Eish that lightie scores,well done.
Another easy try for the Highlanders.
To be fair the Bulls defence is a poor as their attack is good.
Verdediging nogsteeds nie goed nie.
Daai Dogg is lekker wintie toe hy daardie drie druk, weet duidelik nie wat op die telbord aangaan nie.
Bulls 33 / 14
36-14 at 1/2 time.
Bulls 36 / 14

Wat drink ons?
Stransky with his idiot comments again. Says “Kick for the Corner” WHAT for???? Bulls have the bonus and just need to increase their lead. Well done Victor on just taking the 3 points.
SuperSport take this fool off from commentating.
106 – Loosehead, agree but if their attack is so good they have nothing to worry about, especially with this team. Maybe need to watch the defence against the Canes next week. Otherwise Bulls looking like champs.
lyk my of die bulle speel soos die NZ spanne, druk eenvoudig genoeg driee en wen, moenie worry as die ander span ook n paar druk nie solank jy meer as hulle druk en jou skopper sy skoppe nial.
113 – Super, Spot on. I feel the same. Just as long as you are getting the points yourself no need to worry about the other team.
Just next week maybe Bulls need to tighten their defence against the Canes. Otherwise they looking superb.
112- Puma, a better team will not allow the Bulls to score so easily.
113@ SuperBul – Dis basies wat Matfield en Ludeke in die after match interview gese het daai aand na die Bulls / Brumbies game.
Bonuspunte is moer belangrik, en as jy moer aanvallend speel gaan daar so paar driee TEEN jou ook aangeteken word.
Puma , when PR started coaching our backs i thought this will happen, defense play 2nd fiddle, but now me complaining no never. Remember one thing if we have the ball more than half the game the other team does not have it to run with. So while it is going well lets run them…..
115 – Loosehead, I know buddy, but then so do the Bulls 😉
They will tighten their defence up against the better teams. Watch they will do just that next week against the Canes. They are looking the business everywhere else though. Superb from the Bulls. Don’t think they are worried how much this team will score against them, as long as they have their 5 points in the bag which they do and just keep far enough away from the otherside on the score board to win it.
117 – Super, I agree 100%. They doing the business. I would not complain at all.
They will tighten up the defence against the top teams.
Bulls are superb at the moment.
The Highlanders don’t look like they want to be on the field.
