goeie skop Lambtjops
Now a good Bulls maul
Penalty Bulls, illegal Sharks tactics at the maul
Morné misses, off the upright
Now a MUCH easier Bulls penalty, 22 and right in front
Nie slim spel van sharks om daar te hardloop nie. Bakkies en Steggies lyk lus vir die wedstryd.
Bulls are up for this game, Sharks are nowhere. Where have these Bulls been hiding all season?
Bulls 20 / 6
Sharks dicipline not good, penalties raining against them
Sharks not the same without JS Legend as their leader….
Bulls are playing clever rugby…. not often I said that this season
Penalty Sharks… too far out
Good Bulls defence… Sharks now having more ball
Bad leg stomp by Bissie
Ref wat van die knock daar ?
Hard, hard, & physical
Bakkies bleeding for the cause again
Bulls are lus for this game – beast has only gone backwards. Seems like they realise they have to win all their remaining games and they intend to!
Flip on for Bakkies
Doc Jannie coming off, injured
Bulls are playing right IN the Sharks faces… I’ve been pleading for that all season!
Droppie by Morné!!
Over
Damn man, FdP looks like he got hurt. Fark this is what I was dreading – injuries to our main manne!
FDP se been is groot eina ? MS jou bok !
Bulls 23 / 6
Fourie du Preez not happy with his right leg, he caught a bad hyperextention on it… it looked moerse sore
Bulls nullifying Alberts & Deysel particularly well
Penalty Bulls clear Sharks obstruction
Another Morné drop attempt, bad strike, missed
Lemoenetyd
So far, so good
Wat drink ons, ek bewe sommer van die adrenalien
Nou sal ons sien wat gebeur die 2de helfte. Twee wedstryde die laaste twee weke het spanne wat gemaklik voor was halftyd verloor. Bulle moet nie net verdedig nie maar aanhou aanval.
Hoop FDP is OK. Snorre bel seker al vir Ludeke om hom af te haal.
