That’s an excellent try and great running rugby from both sides. Let’s see more of it! Great to watch.
ahhhhhhhhh good he has the right boots on today
Bulls 7 / ZIPPPPPPPPP
Converted!
Good to also see Morne has his kicking shoes on tonight.:)
They should have hit Cooper hard there..
Nervous stuff!
Think the Bulls are makeing life difficult for themselves with the box kicks, have to defend more, wish they would keep the ball in hand.
Phweeeeew…..
try-saving tackle.

GBS Handshake
75@ Boomninny – Yip, handshake… hehehehe
Great defence Bulls!
PHEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Bulls forwards are very strong.
Surfer dude attempts a penalty… missed
Heeeeeee haaaaaaaa
Cooper misses.
Stop kicking away possession Bulls.. Or you are going to have many tries scored against you.
Great intent from the Reds; can they keep this intensity up?
I just get a feeling that the Bulls are letting their opposition run about with the ball in hand, while they steadily plan their executon. This is a good match-up.
Maybe Genia is not as clever as what the Aussies think?
I am sorry but these bulls are looking very lazy and i find it quite unsetting knowing there potential.
Come Bulls. Score again and put these clowns under pressure,keep it tight. Thats it Cooper,keep missing them.
bulls defence brilliant
Hellova fast paced game…..
Come Bulls, solidify possession, slow the game down…. play it tight!
GBS, when Frans Ludeke phones you just before 1/2 time to get your input on the match, please ask him why they are not kicking the ball out.
nice scrum
