Force (12) 26 / Bulls (15) 21 (Final Score)

The Western Force hosted the Bulls at NIB Stadium, Perth at 14:05 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.

The Force won against a lacklustre and at most mid-table Bulls side.

Not good enough Bulls… simply aweful!

Force het omtrent deur 3000 fases gegaan daar.

Kom ons kyk wat die Bulle gaan doen as hul balbesit kry.
