Who will be MOTM? Spies or Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeenkamp? [Who I remember playing for the States.]
Loosehead no man, 215 is fine. asked superBul if he was still alive. Now stop tasteing your own cooking. 👿
Am glad Maku is getting game time,think he could become a decent player.
Bulls defence has been good, no Force try yet!
WO passed again. Thats twice in this match.
I think the Bulls have come back nicely.
Hoekvlag toe
bulls playing much better now
Come Bulls, get that 4th try!!
Nathan Sharpe as MOTM? Am I watching the right game?
matfield not happy with the ref
Sharpe gets man of the match. Thought he played like an animal today,but does not make sense giving it to someone on the losing side.
😆 LOSKOPPIETJIE jy weet mos hoe eenoogig is n aussie
Swanepoel coming on for the Force?
Time is running out for that elusive 4th try….
MOM should be spies

Force have really played well and tried very hard today.
Come Bulls,dont give away a soft try.
