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!

Yellow for a Chiefs prop… Bulls go for touch…
Drop Goal Morne Steyn
Bulls 3 / 0
ZK never kicked the ball away. That is twice in a row.
DROPPIE Morne.
Ben afgejak…
No man, this is looking so familiar. Too many Handling errors for fark sake and this continuous option of Kirchner making no ground at all.
Hougies moes daar gedruk het, maar dit was goeie verdediging deur Messam.
These jerseys look like the Bulls are playing with their training bibs on…. eishhhhh
Basketball rugby.
What a comedy of errors…. neither team can hold onto the ball
Relieving penalty for the Bulls… the crowd is deathly silent….
@ grootblousmile:
It is still not as ugly as the DHL Stormers jersey.
Jinne…. bad rugby… pfrrrrr
What a kuk lineout
Moerrrrrse Bulls scrum…. baddddddd hands by Spies behind such a dominant scrum, oi vei!
Fortunately for bulls, the chiefs are playing with only 14 indians
Bulls should contract John Smit for next season to fix their lineout problems.
Bulls can’t win their own lineout anymore, eish.
Try Mils Muliaina
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MILS!
Oh my F Gd!!! This is awful to watch
Chiefs 7 / 3
Hougaard must be concussed after that hit.
Hougie off injured, Shadow on….. eishhhh
Geen bul voorspelers om skoon te maak nie, want Bakkies en Vic staan in die agterlyn.
Donald smacks a penalty over
Chiefs 10 / 3
Very poor quality game this. Vodacom Cup standard.
@ bdb:
Hulle het dit van Luke Watson geleer.
There is such a lot wrong now in Bull land… ai tog!
Chiefs hard on attack, 5m out, now closer
Easy penalty Chiefs…. offside by the Bulls
GBS will you please tell Hugh Bladen that his Dean Greyling is playing 1 for the Bulls and not Deon.
