Bulls (13) 43 / Chiefs (20) 27 (Final Score)
The Bulls hosted the Chiefs at Loftus Versveld, Pretoria at 17:05 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
After a shocker of a first half, the Bulls came out of the blocks in the second half to score 3 converted tries in 9 minutes, resulting in the fact that they built up a good lead and causing the Chiefs to play catch-up from thereon in.
They solidified their lead with great goal kicking by Morné Steyn and denied the Chiefs a single Log point.
Mission accomplished fot this week, now every week needs to be like this, a 5-pointer!

Not many people here at Loftus… waar dit nou TE rof is, met die rooi!
Nou gaan ek oorskakel na die Bulls game op TV. Sal so nou en dan telling gaan soek
Op hoerdie staduim is die Griekwas, Pampasxv en die Blou Bulle deur na die semis
My word, Loftus is empty. Is everyone in Slaapstad watching the Sharks?
Players on…
Game ON!
Dit lyk GOOR man, ek sal nie daar wil wees nie
The jersey is moer ugly.
Moer hulle Bulle!!!!!!!!
What a good win there by the boys, hopefully the seniors will continue on the winning note. Especially good to see this result as last time I checked we were quite a bit behind, and also with the Lions playing some of their Super 15 guys.
Bulle twee keer aangeval, twee keer bal afgestaan.
Howzit Ash, good to see you supporting the Blue Red Bulls 🙂
WO passed?
Hougie held up over the line…. that was close!
Ash, some classic chirps, my broe. Maybe, Red Bull give you wins? Let’s hope so’ hey?
Go Bulls!!!
Go Bulls!
Bulls jersey not too bad. We just all need to get used to it. We are too emotionally attached to the the BLUE Bulls. As long they win, what they wear is secondary.
OMG! Bulls turnover right on the line!
What the hell is going on with the Bulls? WO has passed and ZK never kicked the ball away.
YELLOW CARD.
