Bulls (10) 13 / Stormers (12) 23 (Final Score)
The Bulls hosted the DHL Stormers at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria at 19:10 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD and M-Net on TV in SA.
The Stormers were deserved winners, not so much for their attack but for keeping better dicipline and dogged defence.

Stormers 9 / 0
Ireland miss the conversion
(Thankfully)
Early engage by the Bulls at a scrum….
What a lot of kakkas from the Bulls at the moment
die bulls beter hulle egos in die kleedkamer los,ander kom hier n pak slae.wo is vrot!
Why not let Aplon kick down the right touchline?
England have 3 points now on the board
Stormers definately playing clever and dominating tackles
Good kick by Flood after the 1st sitter he missed Ireland 14 England 3, Ireland really playing well.
@ grootblousmile:
Grant must have scored about 50 during the last three games so far…..Bulle sal hul gat in rat moet kry….
Jean de Villiers makes a huge break but from resultant play Peter Grand throws a bad pass out to touch
39@ Pietman:

@ Bullscot:
Hi Bullscot…great, please take over as I am trying to do too many things at once here!!
Good to see the Bulls on the score board.
Peter Grant misses a relative sitter

Amaturish Bulls mistakes… oi vei
Another Stormers penalty and Bulls get a team warning
I’d love to get Superbuls’s opinion about the ref… 😉

53@ fender:
Nothing wrong with the ref, I’m afraid
Great try by Bjorn Basson!!
After a great scrum by the Bulls
@ Blue Bird 47:
Hi Blue Bird will try keep score updated, not sure will make it to the end of the game as need to go to work as well. Seems like an uphill battle for England and Bulls from here. Halftime Ire 17 Eng 3.
In Dublin at half time..almost complete domination by Ireland leaves the score at 17 – 3.
Hope Jonno is kicking arse and motivating the England team right now!!
bulls kom nou julle is die spil waarom die wb draai
Stormers 12 / 10
