No score at all so far in the 2nd half
Good Force defence keeps the Waratahs out from scoring

Try Kurtley Beale, under the sticks
Waratahs 24 / 3
Now I need the Force to pull it back a bit with an unconverted try….
15 min left
GBS moet nou nie diplomaties wees nie wat se jy na die Bulle se getjommel?
Bonus point try Drew Mitchell, under the sticks
Waratahs 31 / 3
Mitchell showed what is instinctive running, not playing to a structure, just plain belief in his own ability and put the foot down and go.
Tahs get their bonus point.
Now have to hope that Bulls can beat em at Loftus and Sharks can do the same at the Tank.
39@ superBul:
Bulls was moer sleg jong, handling was pateties…. dit was moeilik om te aanskou!
@ grootblousmile:
Ek dink nie ons moet die Bulle spaar na hierdie een nie, flok dit was nie swak nie dit was onaanvaarbaar. Gee Saint die kans om ons gevoelens oor te dra
8 minutes left
hier kom n rooi kaart of twee
hoekom stop die assistent nie die spel nie al die tyd is nou gemors
45@ superBul:
Probleem is, hy sal dit nog geniet ook… en sy mes so ekstra ent indruk.
Yellow for David Smith of the Force
Neeewat, the Force is now just pathetic….
For now it looks like the kiwi teams might have 3 in the play offs. Oz 2 and SA 1. Jeez, Come on SA we need to buck up and get another team in the play offs.
Bulls and Sharks must beat Tahs at home. Landers still need to play Saders and Blues again. So they might fall off the pace.
Hope we have 2 in the play offs. Well each conference will have one there for sure. 2 with definite semi finals.
Suppose if we don’t make it. The one good thing might come from it. We will be better rested for wc…..hahahaha. Well one positive way to look at it this year……hehehehe.
@ grootblousmile:
wel ek sal like om vir VM n ding of twee te se myself, dink hy hy weet regtig alles van rugby af en ons nokkol? Sy dinges man hy lei die span deesdae in die afgrond in. Hy het ook nie nodig om in al die games op die veld te bly nie, hy kan eerder deur FvdM vervang word as wat Bakkies alewig vervang word. Ek dink hy is bang om van die veld te gaan , netnou sien ons ons kan bleddie goed sonder hom aangaan.
Cameron Shepherd jumped in the air and was accidentally summersaulted by a bump…. looks eina…. hehe
@ grootblousmile:54 – Missed that at my pc for now.
53@ superBul:
Ek neem aan jy is goed bedonnerd met die Bulle…. hahaha
Old Griqua well done to your team if you looking in here.
They have the bonus point and will win this easy.
Bulls speel die gemors met die kolle (Farce) nog terwyl hulle oorkant is, hoop hulle donner die Force op met beter rugby as wat ons vandag gesien het.
@ grootblousmile:
die groot vraag is waneer gaan ons act, waneer dit te laat is. Onthou die Bulle is soos n familie en sien niks fout met mekaar nie, ons moet van buite druk plaas
