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: 6 Penalties James O’Connor, 1 Penalty Willie Ripia, 1 Try Cameron Shepherd

Hierdie laaste beweging is ongelukkig sprekend van hoe ver hierdie span geval het. In die verlede met so lynstaan, het ‘n mens solank die drie opgeskryf. Nou sukkel die Bulle om net die bal vas te hou. Dink hulle het die bal al 8 keer aangeslaan, teenoor die Force se 1 of 2 aanslane.
As Force eerste punte kry na halftyd, wag daar ‘n laaaang tweede helfte op my span.
What’s Greyling’s story there? Bulls getting frustrated….
2nd Half ON!
@ fender:62 – Fender, I wonder too. Very stupid that. He will get cited make no mistake. The commentators said, the cameras don’t like and they don’t. Heck us saffas must get the discipline. Those refs at the wc will be watching us really close.
@ Puma:sorry meant – cameras don’t lie.
Hi Puma, ja you’re right there…
My magtig! Spies actually made some ground
Geluk WO, nog ‘n knock wat die momentum weggooi.
@ fender:66 – Yes and Greyling was playing well, not sure why he done that with the elbow. But those Aussies don’t miss much. He will get cited.
Yip, there is one rule for Saffas and another for the others
Damn, pity about that foot into touch…
Penalty Bulls… after a long advantage played
Heavens come back to find the Bulls have points on the board AND are leading, how long will this last??? 😆
Has anyone got a link btw…Bos Otter was my link man be he is a bit absent these days!!
Bulls 18 / 12
Bulls 18 / 15 as O’Connor slots a penalty
@73 check on the myp2p.eu site
Sjeeez, ons span sukkel
This so trajic to see such a quality team reduced to this jambling, bumbling mess
18 / 18 as O’Connor slots another one
Wat is dit met die kuk up en unders wat Kirchner skop?
Perhaps Bulls should just lose and put us out of our misery
Go Lawrence you (aussie) good thing !
Force hard on attack
what a joke
Try Cameron Shepherd
Vet tannie het opgestaan vir die Bulle 2011, en maak los …
This Farce team should never have been permitted to get even close to the BUlls
Force 23 / 18
Ja skop die bal weg, ons kan sonder die bal ‘n drie druk
Even if the Bulls manage to pull this one off, which looks doubtful at this stage, They are definitely no longer contenders
