Bulls 12 / 8
Olivier moes gestep het. Nie baie goed nie.
Flokkkkkkkkkkkk, almost a try by Meisiekind
is herkie warren brosses brother in law
Shit hands by Spies.
Arghhhhhhhhhh… such a good build up and then a knock
Lemoenetyd
Lions defence is great. Bulls not looking like the team that dominated the first few weeks of the S14
Wat drink ons??
More variation please Bulls, dont only use WO and DR, you can , come on boys
so is die weer n meer gelyk maker of het die lions net hul game verbeter??
Ai, as leeus net die hele S14 seisoen ‘n verdedigingsafrigter gehad het.
Bulle moet maar eers konsentreer op die wen.
Handling errors are stopping the Bulls momentum everytime. Looks like the Sharks a few weeks ago.

Koud brannewyn en koke
127 – Snoek, no they don’t then they have just traveled back from Oz. Maybe keeping their energy for us next week….hehe. Hope not.
First half gone and no try for Bulls seems a bit unreal really. Think Bulls will come out much more focused in the 2nd half. Remember too altitude not problem for the Lions as they both live and breath the altitude where they live. Though don’t see Lions winning, Bulls will pull away.
Scrummie, Lions speel baie beter vandag.
Puma, do you have a score update for the Sharks?
114 – Loosehead was really hoping for Cheetahs to win. To think they have some of their players out injured. With them there they could have won and also been far, far more competitive this season if they never lost some players to injuries.
Snoek, ek volg maar die game hier op het nie die tv wat ek kan sien nie, maar as die manne so praat van wat ons drink dan raak my keel somme droog…..
Bring FDP on for the second half.
136 – Snoek, Watched until 70min. Sharks were 29/14 at the time. Will go and check now the score.
shark 15, 28-24
Van die Bulle spelers, veral Guthro, DR en Spies beskerm nie die bal genoeg as hul hardloop en veral as hul in kontak gaan nie. Kon geen afrigter nog dit regkry om vir Danie te leer om nie so regop te dryf nie. As hy bietjie vooroor buk en dan dryf, gaan hy die bal beter beskerm en nog baie meters wen. Basics !
Ek drink ‘n lekker “Ouma se Wyn” 2006 van die Weltevrede Landgoed.
Free drinks at half time in the press box? 😆
Hey Puma, good time at the cinema? 😉
BB did you watch the photos?
Hier kom nog 3 punte vir die bulle, obstruksie van die afskop af. O nee, hulle gaan vir ‘n drie.
Loosehead, as you were not here I did a Versssssssssttttttttttttttttaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttt for you!! During the cheetahs match!!
Tryyyyyyyyy Bulls
Beter.
