Bulls (13) 23 / Waratahs (6) 17 (Final Score)
The Vodacom Bulls hosted the Waratahs at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria at 19:10 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 Waratahs made quite a game of it and worried the Bulls throughout the match but in the end the Bulls won by 23 / 17, a slender 6-point margin.
Mission accomplished, 4 points in the bag for the Bulls, pity about the one point for the Waratahs.
Scorers:
Bulls: 3 Penalties & 2 Conversions Morné Steyn, 1 Try Wynand Olivier, 1 Try Bjorn Basson
Waratahs: 4 Penalties Kurtley Beale, 1 Try Atieli Pakalani

Bulls camping in the Tahs 22 now…. keep it there boys!
Must say big, respect for the way Tahs are playing! Their best game of the season…
Too close for comfort
Solid Bulls defence
Tahs scrum, 15m out….. eishhhhh
Jeebus, but Beale has been causing havoc for Bulls
Ahhhhhh, relieving Bulls penalty…. fork!
Morne puts it out beyond halfway… seconds left
Final Score: Bulls 23 / 17 Waratahs
Sjoe…. too close man!
Bulls very lucky to take the win. Pity the Tahs got the losing bonus. This comp is far from settled.
Bulls not good enough tonight. They took a step back and were let off by incompetent refereeing. But I suppose that one has to accept that these things happen and exploit it. Going to be a cracker at Newlands next week!
OK, I’m out… need to go pee, and then it will be the post-match interviews.
See you guys in the morning, very early….. 07:30 start
dom vraag maar kan vic danie bakkies smit hulle 7 groot games agter mekaar speel ?
Well done Bulls. Never got to see any of the rugby, but a win is a win. Next week is gonna be a true test.
Howzit Walla, How you doing mate? Hope well.
Jeez, Reds are doing well this year. Thought they would, but never thought as well as they have done.
Anyhow just logged in quick to say howzit.
