Bulls (24) 40 / Crusaders (19) 35 (Final Score)
The Bulls hosted the Crusaders at Loftus, Pretoria at 19:10 SA Time, in perfect weather conditions for rugby. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Bulls scraped a win after the final hooter, when Francois Hougaard scored his second try, a controvercial one which will hotly be contested, specially so in New Zealand. The Bulls won by 40 / 35, and the Crusaders earned 2 bonus points.
The Bulls now definately have a home semi-final (at Orlando Stadium, Soweto) and currently stand on 47 Log Points, with the Crusaders on 36 Log Points.

Mooi man!

Hello GBS, and Puma,
153@ SuperPoeper – Hello tjom!
Hello Pieta!
Bulls busy warming up in front of us… focus is intense!
GBS
Waar is die press box waar jy sit, wil kyk of ek jou op tv sien, hoofpawiljoen?
@ Pietman Wys die op Aus network nie, so ek gaan maar kyk of ek ‘n decent stream kan kry. Anders gaanek eet en slaap.
GBS, darem ‘n wonderlike aand vir rugby, die gees is seker lekker?
Ciao a tutti! Go my bullyboys. Gore the saders and toss their broken bodies around the bullring and then trample them into the hallowed loftus turf. Moer hulle manne!!!
157@ Balle – Hoofpawiljoen, net bo die onderste vlak se stoele, 22m lyn, aan die Noordekant van die Halflyn…. in ‘n Losie…. ek sit reg voor by die venster!

Moosa delegation of Socceroos and SWC 2010 Officials
Wel gbs, sterkte met jou spannetjie, mag julle hulle ‘n opflok van formaat gee
@ Pietman Spvod is nie meer wat dit was nie. Die stop start affair maak my so die donner in jy kan met my toor. As ek nie ‘n decent stream het nie gaan ek slaap. DSTV het die ouens in Taiwan uitgevang wat die sein dief. Word gestop aan die einde van die maand.
@GBS As jy permanent Supersport 1 kan stream wereldwyd gaan jy baie geld maak.
@162- Have great respect for the saders. They have been without doubt the best team over the super competition history. But now it’s OUR time!!
Ja ek hoor Bafunny het kom kyk hoe lyk dit om te wen daar vanaand
@ Pietman 01:00
@186 have you checked out myp2p.eu
There is usually some stream to watch, tho of course the quality can’t be guaranteed.
Apoc184 is sitting right next to me here, he’s covering for another site here in the Press Box
Sorry, my previous comment was directed at rugbybal @166
@ GBS Wie is apoc184? Lekker in ‘n losie. Geniet dit.
149 – gbs, Good to hear that, Then only 4ways got hit hard with the rain today.
Should be a good game then if the field is dry.
GBS
Is Apoc covering for RW or Sharksworld?
@ The_Young_Turk
Yip ek kyk op project vanilla scented. Sofa so good. Sover ek kan sien is dit net spvod en vanilla wat die game stream. Dis nou free streaming.
Helo Puma, Tomorrow its my team against your, hopefully its going to be epic
175@ Pieta – Nee, vir rugby15
Ok, game about to start, I am between the tv room and kitchen and the wine cabinet, will check in now and then, enjoy manne!
Danie Pakslae runs out for his 100th Super 14 Cap… well done Danie!
