Blue Bulls (26) 43 / Leopards (10) 38 (Final Score)
The Blue Bulls hosted the Leopards at Loftus, Pretoria at 19:10 on Friday night 6 August 2010. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Bulls won by a measly 5 points and was hugely fragile on defence tonight…. they will have to change a few gears if they do not want WP to knock them for a big six next week!
The Bulls scored 6 tries to the Leopards 5 tries and managed to gather their bonus point win, but they wee patchy, to say the least.
Not good enough Bulls!

@ grootblousmile:86 – gbs, Very good coach. Also read that Scrumdown said that Mitchell could stay on to coach the Lions. I for one would like to see a Lions team right back up there where they belong. Such a big franchise that and they should never be where they are. With Mitchell if he stays on I see them playing far, far better in the S15 next year and this year you can already see that in the CC. He HAS made a difference. Compare him to Muir???? Just like chalk and cheese….hehehe. Lions would be fools to let Mitchell out their grips now.
*puma
Eishhhhhhhhhhh, Bulls squandered a chance knocking in that lineout 5m out….. grrrr
@ bos_otter:90 – Bos, Not sure buddy, I normally play in Snoeks pool too but forgot to join his. So left it now cause not sure if I lose some points. I only checked today where I am and shocked to see I am in the top half. I am really rubbish at this prediction game..LOL.
91@ Puma:
Just shows you how tosssss Muir is, hey!
Try Walter Venter… and can you believe it…. bonus point for the Leopards!
@ bos_otter:92 – Bos, don’t worry about my nic, plenty call me Pumes…hehehe. It is all fine with me.
Bulls 40 / 31
@ grootblousmile:95 – gbs, Yip and he is our backline coach for the Boks .. 😯 Should have Pieter Rossouw from the Bulls instead. Also Gold should get dropped for Proudfoot.
@ Puma:Puma….honestly…it’s a typo :0
Oh, and this is from the Superbru site…”If you join a pool after the tournament has started, your existing picks will be transferred into the new pool – but without Bonus Points “
Almost a try by Jaco Pretorius…. out near the line
@ grootblousmile:rofl….I mightt just be luck with my pick on this one 🙂
Leopards doing okay against the Bulls. Thought Bulls would hammer them. Leopards are hanging in there.
Bulls coming close each time…. to just throw it away…. oi man
Just checked I have Bulls to win by 18. Need them to get another try and convert and it can stay there .. 😀
J-L Pot taking a shot at goal from a penalty….
Bulls 43 / 31
fokkit mense…ek wens ek kon die games kyk..ek is soooooooooooo jaloers
Okay Bulls can get another try and convert it will be 19 one more than I have on Bru. That will be just fine.
Eishhhhhhhhh Try No 11 for the Leopards, under the sticks….
@ bos_otter:107 – Bos, Where are you living? I remember you telling me but have forgot.
Bulls 43 / 38
@ grootblousmile:lol…oh dear 🙂
@ grootblousmile:109 – gbs, That will mess up with my bru picks. Bulls need to get another try soon.
@ Puma:Puma….at this rate the BB’s going to loose, and we will all be screwed 🙂 Would open up things a bit on the tables though 🙂
I must say, the Bulls are shocking tonight….. and next week they play WP…. goeie gomtjokker!
@ grootblousmile:115 – gbs, Bulls had better play better than this against Province.
@ bos_otter:114 – Bos, We could be buddy. Never thought ever Leopards would be this close.
Eishhhhhhhhhh Bulls escape with a penalty near their own line….
Moer, this is not good, Bulls!
@ grootblousmile:117 – Gbs, How is the heart rate?… hehehehe.
shitze….everybody’s going to do bad with theit super-pics on this one 🙂
Oi, Bulls backline is pedestrian…. and we miss Gary Botha….
Moses van der Westhuyzen must be put to pasture…
Bulls hang on to win…. by only 5 damn points…. 30 short of my prediction!
