Tahs trying to speed the game up the whole time…. and succeeding.
Penalty Tahs, easy one
Waratahs 6 / 3
This game is poised on a knife edge. Could go either way depending on who folds first. Tahs are doing all the playing at the moment….
Not a spectacular game, by any means….. thusfar
Oh, for some solid Bulls play now for a while…. please
Scrappy play and countless handling errors by Bulls
Penalty Bulls and Morne WILL slot this one
Bulls need to hope Tahs run out of steam in the second half.
6 / 6
Bulls need a huge talking to at Halftime!
Don’t worry, second half we’re playing downhill… hehehe
Tahs disrupting Bulls lineouts. This is a very committed Tahs team. Going to need something special from Bulls in the second half or it’s curtains for Bullyboys!
Penalty Bulls, on halfway
Morné misses to the right… still 6 / 6
Tryyyyyyyyyy Meisiekind!!
Heeeee haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Bulls 13 / 6

Go BUlls!!! Nice try to go ahead during the break. Now you can push that “tilt field” button, bigblu 😉
2nd Half ON!
Old Spies looks quite strange with that Kabouter scrum cap on!

Magnificent try by the Bulls. That was sommer lekker!!
Bulls 20 / 6
Flip on for Bakkies… and Dewald Potgieter has also come on for Pakslae a while ago
Uncontested scrums as the 2nd Tahs prop comes off injured
Bulls nearly breaking out….
Come on Bulls, we need 2 more tries from you!
Uncontested scrums is a kuk rule.
Ben Mowen limping off injured
Penalty to the Tahs, within kicking range… Beale will go for posts
Interesting sub by the Bulls… taking the uncontested nature of the scrums in consideration…. Pakslae back on, Dean Greyling off.
Bulls 20 / 9
