60@ SuperBul – Ja, maar toe drink ek ‘n dop saam met AB…. hehehe
Herkie die erkie mis.
Die Bulle moet so bietjie met die bal speel en minder skop.
Lions 3 / 0
Leeus het al die gebiedsvoordeel … danksy Bulle wat weer … skop … skop
3-0 leeus
Ek stem snoek
Bulle moet net kalmer, die leeus gaan probeer om hulle te ontwrig.
Lions clearly are playing the territory game at the moment
Die veld lyk goed.
The pitch is looking miles better than a month ago… was ON the pitch just before I came here to the Box
Lions defence looks 100% better
Tweede knock deur Adams.
Come Morne… go for posts
Bulle moet vinniger bal kry by die losgemale
Heinie is nie skerp nie , hoop hy vind sy voete gou
3 / 3
Heini te oorhaastig, eers bal vasvat, dan laat loop.
Bulle op die bord.
Heini speel te min, lyk verroes.
eers kyk vir die sal ook help
Looks like the initial verver of the Lions has died down a bit and the Bulls are getting into the game nicely now!
hier kom nog 3 punte
Moet dit se die Leeus tackle bleddie goed
Bulls 6 / 3
Morne put the boots on the right feet today!!
Game besig om te swaai. Ander spanne het al teen die tyd ‘n bonus punt teen die leeus verdien.
Die Nuwe Bulls Babes is bietjie fattup….
