Yip, Bulls trying to match them for pace, not a good idea….brutal game this.
Bulls must take them on up front.
damn poor pass

It’s a team of seasoned veterans playing the up and coming stars of tomorrow. At the end of the day, the vets should win the match, but we all get the pleasure of watching the struggle.
Winston @ 86 – you’re right, bulls need to keep it tight, that’s were the Reds will falter.
O donner, Dewald is badly injured….. not good!!
He looks OK, but they’ll take him off….. flok!

Try Reds, Damn come now Bulls wake up stay focused. That came from that awful pass from Gary Botha.

Jeepers, and we thought Pierre Spies is fast, check the Red#6!!!!
Bulls also kicking too much. Need to keep possession. Or Reds going to run them off their feet. All those tackles from Bulls going to tire them.
