231 – GBS, Agree 100%. Win it first. A win is more important bonus if it comes that is what it is. Bulls win all their games from here they stay top.
Moer hulle hard Bulle
Yesssss, go for posts!
Puma,it never ceases to amaze me how the Bulls stay so composed even when they are down.. They must have serious self belief.
Steenkamp verdien n drie
Loosehead DOLLLLLLLL no more meths for you 217 is not me, but you can have one guess who it is 🙂
but it could have been me.
Flok Morne misses again…
He missed again,whats going on Morne.
Steyn misses again.
Morne misses, not like him to miss. Every player has a off game. So be it. They doing the right thing going for poles.
Go Bullssssssssss..
Mooi Flip!
Try Kirshner!
Puma that should have been a drive not a kick at posts , really they were still reeling from the shock of that send off.
Tree………sorry was for 215.
GBS, Winston and Loosehead… snap..hahaha.
The ladies,gentlemen and others is the ball game.. Gbs and Super can relax now 🙂
The Bulls rely on the Freestater J-LP to win this game for them.
Bulls 25 / 15
Loose,he was originally a Bull 🙂
252 – Super, They doing the right thing now mate. Just get the points. Morne is having a off day but if he was not would be further ahead.
Players also looking very tired. Get a breather kicking at poles.
I’m relaxed, I told you earlier not to worry…. heheheehe
Come Bulls,dont lose concentration now.
Winston, he became a strt playing for the States. 😉
