Bulls (6) 28 / Highlanders (11) 35 (Final Score)
The Vodacom Bulls hosted the Highlanders at Loftus, 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 Highlanders continued their unbeaten run and scored a bonus point for tries whilst the Bulls end their unbeaten run at home and only salvaged a bonus point for losing by only 7 points.
It was a disasterous game from a Bulls perspective, with bad refereeing and general bad play and sloppy tackling by all the Bulls players. Today it is frustrating to be a Bulls supporter.

Spies moet bank toe skuif, hy het daardie tackle gemis wat tot die drie gelei het. Sal met Potgieter op agsteman begin, Danie of Jandre op flank.
Landers 35 / 21
Nooit – I dont believe what I’m seeing!
Yellow for Landers No 7
Bietjie te laat Dickie.

Shocking Bulls… shocking!

@ fender:
ja fender everyone in your eyes 😆
Okay visitors away now, but Better Half has the remote. Will try and catch up here how this game has gone. From the score, don’t look good.
When last has Bulls lost to Landers? Think last year in NZ, but don’t ever think at Loftus. The first win to any team at Loftus for a long time if Landers win.
Jeepers may as well give up on bru if Bulls lose here. Got so many wrong this weekend.
Will watch the game proper tomorrow to see my feeling for this game. Will keep up now with the game here.
Penalty Bulls…. they HAVE to scoe now!!
try basson
Try Bjorn!
