Great break there,pity they didnt retain the ball..
The Lions did well to move Waylon I dont pass the ball Murray back to 13. They will at least be a bit more creative now.
32@ Winston:
Wayward Side-Crab Murray…. yip

Heeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaa
Gbs,the Sharks did well to lose him.Barrit made him look alot better than what he actually is..
Good try Bulls. Vd Heever is a great talent for the future..
Bulls 13 / 8
Think the Bulls might run away with it now..
35@ Winston:
Hello Winnie… yes, they did
I predicted a win for the Bulls by 18…
Mitchell seems to have instilled some discipline at the Lions.. He is a hard man so am not suprised.
I think I said Bulls by 14 so am near to you..
Penalty Bulls… scrum offence by the Lions… walking around and in.
Some good play by the Lions… and a try by Whiteley
Try Lions,this is turning out to be a great game..
Mooi Leeus.
tryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy lionssssssssssssss
Lions 15 / 13
Amazing how much better the Lions look without Dickhead Muir.
47@ sharky_forever:
Hey, Lions Forever…. why you shouting for the Lions?
Bulls need to hold their composure..
The Lions also did well to get rid of Herkie,he is rubbish on a good day.
49@ Winston:
True…. and the Bokke look worse because of Tricky Dicky…. makes one think
#50 hehehe rudi cuzz you was shouting for the states 😆 its payback
With that said I rate Mitchell very highly as a coach. I think New Zealand coaches do well here as they are tough like us,he does not fit in well with the Force.
hiyas winnie ^5
Hi Sharky. Good to see you,hows it going bud?
Two number 9’s fighting,what a waste of time..
Bulle het dieselfde probleem as Bokke: geen fetcher nie. Kuun te dik.
Turned the penalty around.. Hectic stuff.
