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!
Scorers:
Bulls: 1 Drop Goal & 4 Conversions & 4 Penalties Morné Steyn, 2 Tries Wynand Olivier, 1 Try Gerhard van den Heever, 1 Try Pierre Spies

Chiefs 13 / 3
Soos Joubert gil, klink hy meer soos die Chiefs skrummie as die ref.
Maar die verskil is duidelik: Chiefs hou balbesit … en Bulle skop hulle s’n of weg of kan nie eers 3 fases opbou voor hul knock nie.
try chiefs!
Try for Brendon Leonard…. under the sticks
Dankie Joubert, moes ons strafskop voor Chiefs se pale gewees het, en nou drie vir Chiefs.
Ek hoor hoe lekker kry ou Stransky. Geniet dit maar ou maat, geniet dit maar.
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Fooitoggies. Die arme skare. Gelukig het baie nie opgedaag nie.
Chiefs 20 / 3
Aikona!
Better play by the Bulls.
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Meisiekind….. eventually!
By doing what… keeping possession!
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY MEISIEKIND!
En daar begin die terugveg poging. Kom Bulle.
Hoor hoe stil is daardie Stransky, lekker dikbek oor Bulle se drie.
Bulls are going from bad to putrid. If you refuse to recognise there are problems and just hope things will come right and you will return to glory, this is what happens. Sad day for SA rugby to see our premier team reduced to this at fortress Loftus.
Having said that, Bulls score.
Chiefs 20 / 10
Meisiekind jou lieflike ding!!
Now can Bulls turn it around and show that they passed their lowest point and are back on the up?
bdb, jou naat begin weer wys….
Penalty Bulls after a massive maul… Morne goes for posts.
Chiefs 20 / 13

Scotch and soda time.
Maybe the Bulls will play better coming from behind. Hope springs eternal in the human breast!
Bulle se hele seisoen hang aan die volgende 40 minute. Hulle moes daar in die begin ‘n drie of twee gedruk het, maar dit is nou gedane sake. Sal moet eerste punte aanteken na halftyd.
Kom Bulle !
@ fender:
What is a naat? Can Ricky Januarie eat one?
Bulls still in this if the can eliminate some basic mistakes. Go Bulls!
108: hehehe, ja maar hy wys nie heeltyd soos joune nie. 😉
Sharks 21-14 WP 10 min oor
Loosehead, naat is seam in IsiEngesi. ‘Trek naat’ or ‘jou naat wys’ is Kaaps for losing your rag.
Is Basson beseer ?
What is happening in the SH today? Some unexpected outcomes during today.
Now the Bulls trailing at half time AGAIN….!!!
Haai nooit bdb! Ek’s koel sose komkommer….
