Come now Bulls.
Hoop hul gee vir Stegman n trui halftyd wat nie n 6 op het nie
Flok, hierdie Blues hardloop ALLES!
More kerels!!
Bulletjies maak my bekommerd maar then again ons het nog nie die bal in die hand gehad nie.
Lemoenetyd
Some hard words now needed… and some coffee for me!
64@ Pampierperd – Hellooooooooooooooooooooo Vrind!
Ek kan regtig nie ons ‘gameplan’ verstaan nie. Ons weet hul is gevaarlik met bal in hand, en tog gee ons gereeld die bal vir hul met swak skoppe. Die paar keer wat ons balle behou het en gehardloop het, het ons gedruk en gevaarlik aangeval.
Hoop hul maak plan na halftyd.
Hoesiiiiiit GB. Steggies maak bietjie kak vandag
63 – gbs, That is how Blues play their rugby. Bulls should just revert to their strength. Falling into the trap of the Blues to run it from everywhere.
67 – bdb, Agree Blues are dangerous with ball in hand.
Bulls needs to play ten man rugby…..en blerrie gou ook ander gaan ons pak kry vandag
68@ Pampierie – Dissie net Steggies nie, die Blues het 90% van die bal…..
Moenie worry nie, ons gaan nou afdraende begin speel…. hehehe
Ek stem, ons moet bal kry en hou…. weer ons driving mauls keer op keer opsit….
GB Stem dis nie net hy nie maar hy staan uit met daai drie strafskoppe. Maar soos jy se ons sien nie die bal nie.
bekommerd oor daardie strafskoppe, as ons geelkaart kry, is dit nag nella !
Speel darem die helfte saam die wind. Watch nou vir Morne en Fourie…..hou mooi dop
71 – Kwagga, I think they need too, Bulls can play that kinda rugby better than any team. Slow it down.
BDB
Stem en as dit n loosie is…probleme. Pedrie is te stadig vir vandag se game
Nou gaan ‘n Koffie en ‘n Kameeltjie goed af!!
Pale toe!!!!!
Kom Morné… skop pale toe en maak seker!
Te vroeg vir n castletjie vir my. Sal maar vasbyt
Daar met die afskop, toe hul die bal gesteel het, was altwee daai blues spelers nie so bietjie onkant nie ?
Mooooooooi
Blues 16 / 14
Yes take those 3 points. Nice one Morne.
Flip and P3 on.
82 – Kwagga.. 😀 Just strong coffee.. hehehe.
Too easy for the blues. Kak defence
Dis jammer Potties is af, soos Pampierperd sê, Pedrie is te stadig
FFS!!!!!!!
