| Min | Commentary |
|---|---|
| 80 | Genia puts it out from the lineout and it is all over! |
| 79 | Free kick to the Bulls for early infringement. Tap and go. Last chance saloon. Holding on by the Bulls! That should be it! Cooper clears |
| 77 | Tap and go. Wide to Van der Heever who can’t control a poor pass by Steyn. Is that all she wrote? |
| 76 | Stegmann with a good run. The flag is up…Chambers called out for a high tackle. The Bulls take it quickly. Another penalty 5m out and a warning |
| 74 | It goes wide to Kirchner who’s tackled into touch. Cooper finds touch from the resulting lineout |
| 73 | Crucial turnover on the ground and Du Preez kicks down field. The steal another one and win a penalty for diving over. Attacking lineout |
| 71 | The Bulls are caught offside 48m out. It’s out of Cooper’s range so he finds touch |
| 70 | The Bulls pile on the pressure. It pops out, Wannenburg picks it up and scores in the corner. The Bulls are back |
| 70 | Try: Pedrie Wannenburg |
| 70 | Missed Conversion: Morne Steyn |
| 69 | They maul it up and win a penalty as the Reds collapse. Here we go with another lineout and driving maul. Wannenburg loses it in contact |
| 67 | The Bulls need to get going. They win a penalty and Steyn sets up the lineout. They have to score from here |
| 65 | Missed Penalty: Quade Cooper |
| 64 | Hands in the ruxck by the Bulls. Cooper will try his luck from about 47m out on the angle |
| 62 | Penalty against the Bulls at the scrum. Matfield is frustrating. It’s out of range so Cooper kicks for touch |

| 59 | Missed Conversion: Quade Cooper |
| 58 | The Reds with a turnover. Great offloading by the backs to Davies who dives over for a crucial score |

| 57 | Genia clean through but his offload to Ioane doesn’t go to hand |
| 56 | Kirchner slices a kick straight into touch, poor error! |

| 52 | The Reds wheel a tired looking Bulls pack and win a scrum feed |
| 50 | Penalty: Quade Cooper |
| 49 | Stegmann, in his first play, concedes a kickable penalty for tackling Braid in the air, silly stuff |

| 39 | Penalty: Quade Cooper |

| 37 | The Reds are relentless on attack. Genia goes blind and passes to Daley who spills it in contact before conceding a penalty |

| 31 | The Reds set up the lineout after a penalty on the deck |
| 30 | Missed Conversion: Quade Cooper |
| 29 | Try: Scott Higginbotham |
| 28 | A turnover and Genia kicks there’s no one back. Now the race is on. It’s Higginbotham against the Bulls centres and he wins the race. Would you believe it. Try! |
| 27 | Davies tries a chip but it’s out on the full |
| 26 | Spies and Du Preez combine to put Potgieter into space who makes 30m. He stays down – looks to be injured – so Steyn goes for a drop but it’s wide |
| 25 | Good interplay by the Reds but the Bulls are defending well. It’s spilt and Du Preez belts down field. Again they run it back. Knock on. What an electric and high pace start |
| 21 | Genia puts Braid into space but the Bulls secure a turnover penalty on the deck |
| 19 | Missed Penalty: Quade Cooper |
| 18 | Collapsing the maul was Matfield. Cooper will have a shot |

| 15 | Not rolling away by Steenkamp. Attacking opportunity from this lineout. Braid takes a long lineout ball. It goes wide to Hynes who’s thundered into touch but it was a forward pass |
| 14 | Kirchner settles things down with a good touch finder |
| 13 | Penalty against the Reds at the resulting scrum but Steyn doesn’t find touch. The Reds run it back into the 22m. Cooper tries to stab a kick through but it’s straight into a Bulls player. Wrong option |
| 10 | Ioane makes 20m with a speesdy run taking the Reds into the 22m. Cooper to Chambers but he loses it in contact |
| 8 | Ruthless defence by the Bulls, forcing the Reds into touch |
| 7 | Conversion: Morne Steyn |
| 6 | Try: Derick Kuun |
| 5 | Genia and Cooper proving elusive early on. Kirchner cuts straight through and finds Olivier who’s brought down. Potgieter runs strong. Kuun snipes and he’s over! Try time! |
| 3 | Hynes sparks a counter-attack. Houston sets off but he puts a foot in touch. Full of running are the Reds |
| 1 | Here we go…the Bulls field a grubber kick-off. Steyn finds touch but Hynes takes it quickly and ultimately they find touch 30m out from the Bulls line |
| 0 | It’s time for the big one – the Reds v the Bulls in Brisbane |
Grant is gaining confidence every week, I never thought of him as much of a FH but lately he’s really been catching the eye…..little bit more time and he might actually become no.1 fh.
Wasn’t he supposed to play for the Force this year? Anyone know what happened?
if aplon is so light super how come the french destroy the kiwis everytime at the world cup. heck, they even destroyed us with their light weights last year. That was the difference my friend.
59: lees jou 3de sin by #12 en maak dit van toepassing op jouself en jou span.
I could say the same thing about the bulls gbs. Even the lions are improving.
GrootPienk,
Kalmeer 😀
kleinWez,
Passop virrie Reds, hulle is geneig om spanne af te bring aarde toe, vra die Nulle 😀
Anyhow I am off. Next week Bulls should beat the Lions. They are tough at home but Bulls will win. Need to pick up the bonus too.
I feel the Stormers will be too much for Reds and Stormers will beat the Reds.
Now hope Sharks can help out by beating the Blues, Blues have a easy road from here. Sharks, Lions, Cheethas and Force. They could end up in the semi. So hope Sharks can beat them. Sharks wont make a semi but help out our brothers that would be great.
Catch up tomorrow. Enjoy the rest of your evening everyone.

i see you did not take my Impala or 10kg biltong bet on the Bulls not reaching the Semis. How about taking one on the time the Stormers peaked. I say it is this last 2 weeks, this week will be 95% and then the road is downhill.
Now you guys had to know bulls rugby can’t always reign supreme when you have a cape town side around. Be thankful we south african.
64@ Wez – That’s exactly why I have not contemplated a final yet, and why I bemoaned the fact that the Bulls should have had the game to win today, to get closer to the semi’s
Fact is, the Bulls or Stormers or Saders can still fall out of the semi’s….. anyone of the 3…. even 2 of the 3 can fall out!
62
the french are not playing many small player, that was the old days , wake up.
bulls will reach the semis but their game will Be in christchurch or Newlands.
Before I go, remember the derby games coming up. Those are going to be the hardest games.
Bulls/Sharks
Sharks/Stormers
Bulls/Stormers
Why those games in the end. Damn hope no injuries. We play to physical against each other.
Cheers all.
71@ Wez – Daar spoeg jy weer kak… blote spekulasie…
the old days like in 2007 when they beat the blacks. btw heymans and parra are small.
74@ Wez – Now that’s one thing we can agree on, I also like small parras… hehehehe
69
Groot, even with the risk off being called arrogant , i would put a rooibok up if we dont make it
Top of the Table is getting congested…. and time will tell us who goes where…. and that’s where I leave you gentlemen for the night!
Gooi Mielies!
Wez, in your case… wurg hom maar in soos putty in ‘n vensterraam!
Wat se julle van Jonker wat ons skrum aanvanklik so heavy gestraf het. Die Komentators het dit selfs ge question.
76: nee man, ek sal jou wed, en as ek verloor of jy verloor, dan bly die bok ‘n bul !
68: Wes, die Stormers moet nog eers die semi’s maak, en wen en die finaal wen, en dan moet hul volgende jaar weer dieselfde doen, en hoop die Bulle doen dit nie weer in een van die twee jare nie, en dan moet julle nog weer ‘n paar CB’s wen, en dan eers kan julle weer werklik saam gesels. Feite my vriend, feite.
So wen nou eers die S14 en die S15 volgende jaar, dan kan jy sulke uitsprake begin maak.
Jonker or Joubert, Super? But what I really want to say is that you’re taking this loss far to seriously. Maybe you’ve just forgotten what it feels like to lose? C’mon broer get over it now…
fender
my mate i am on this blog because i like to sulk over my beloved game. I am over it , dont worry. But what i do now is to discuss the things i see wrong or good. This is the only place were i can lift my opinion.
Dont worry it is not so serious. The Bulls gave me a lot of joy this year. And hopefully more joy will come.
80: geluk met jou span, hul speel goeie rugby die laaste 2 weke, werklik goed om in NZ twee na mekaar te wen. Wees net versigtig vir die Reds op hul tuisveld. Chiefs speel tans sonder 5/6 van hul beste spelers so die Bulle en Stormers moet nie te veel maak van hul oorwinnings oor die Chiefs nie.
That better Super! I’ve got to duck now. Sleep well. Groente
Wat my frustreer is hoe die Saders week na week weg kom met hul infringements by die breakdown….hulle maak die bal onmoontlik stadig en teen die tyd wat hy uit kom is hulle verdedigings lyne lankal in plek.
En die scrum vandag wat daai stut van hulle op en in scrum. Maak my blerrie naar sulke dinge.
Pick your team is up
84: moet net nie op jou boktrui kots nie ! 😉
Saders gaan ‘peak’ net op die regte tyd, so ook die Bulle, hoor my lied.
Span van die Week.

bdb,
Nee ek is ook nou darem nie Luke nie. Ek kots net oppie kiwi en ozzie refs.
Saders soos die Tahs het nie nodig om te peak nie, die ref help hulle darem vreeslik uit.
Snaaks hoe die twee games wat die Nulle verloor het dieselfde ref gehad het.
FS
ek lees nou al jare op die NZ en AUS websites hoe hul komentaar lewer oor hulle spanne. Hulle sal nie Ritchy question nie. Ons doen dit . Maar ons breek ons eie spelers af. Dink net aan HB, DS, en dan , wat volg die pers loop op hol daarmee en dan laat waai ons eie refs ook. Niemand touch vir McCaw nie…..
mifBaard,
Verbasend hoe Grant verbeter het hierdie seisoen, hy was totale rubbish gewees in die verlede maar oor die laaste klomp weke het hy my vreeslik verbaas.
