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!

Bulls 43 / 20
Chiefs scoreless in the 2nd half, Bulls have scored 30 points
Bulls playing with much more confidence. This is the lowest ranked kiwi team they are playing. They don’t deserve to be on the same field as the champs. But the champs need to believe it first. Maybe they are starting to at last.
Bulls are kicking every ball away now.
Chiefs try?
TMO
Badddddd defence!
