Kom bulls ek like jul nie maar moenie my superbru opflok nie asb…..
Zane Kirchner!!!!!!!!!
Lyk my Vic hou nie van 3 punte nie. 😉
Canes 12 / Bulls 7
Phew!!!!! finally Bulls get a try and convert.
Bulls must just forget about the bonus and just focuse on winning first.
What a fair catch by FDP
Lekka ruggas !!!!!!!!!!!
Hoe is die weer daar? Punte telling bietjie laag na bulle se standaarde of hoe??
Steve Walsh misses a lot of things…. all the journo’s around me says the same!
Walsh has gone futtup!
Behoort hul die 2de helfte te vat. Afraande !
Kom Morne, klits hom!
Yesssssssssssssss
Canes 12 / 10
GBS hy is regtig n bleddie showman, like homself , blaas vir belaglike dinge
Good take the 3 points. Only 2 points in it now. Also if FdP just never tapped and went with it at the start with that penalty, Bulls may have had 13 if they took that 3 points. Go for the win first. Let the bonus come if it does.
Go Bulllllllllllllllssssssssss
Met daardie up&ubnder het al die voorspelers van die Canes nie terug geval nie. Ref ?
15 – 0 hurricanes Willie Ripia!!
Canes 15 / 10
Lemoenetyd
Deccan Chargers 170/7 (20/20 ov)
Kings XI Punjab 164/8 (20.0/20 ov)
Deccan Chargers won by 6 runs
en wat kan julle nou se?
128: moet dit bietjie spannend maak.
129 – GBS, First time Bulls not with a Saffa ref, makes a difference. Our refs are way, way better. Especially Kapland and M. Lawrence.
Tomorrow Sharks have all kiwi match officials 🙄
puma last 2 overs made it close
. 1 4 6 2 1 | W 4 . . 4 4
Wat drink ons?
137 – Super, Well we got the win there.
141 – Super, Never saw any of it, watching the rugby.
Think Bulls should slow it down a bit. This running from everywhere is playing into the Canes hands. Play old Bulls rugby here and the Canes wont be in it as much.
138: dit is nie die eindtelling nie, bietjie minder drink hoor ! 😉
GBS drink maar n extra een vir my ook, sit nog by die werk so ek kan net droom van n dop…
Me also Puma i follow it on the Net
Bulls have lacked a bit of intensity and they should bloody take penalties at goal…. not tap or take scrums… get bloody ahead and well ahead first, before taking risks!
149
They must show they have another game plan, we make it easy for them.
