@ grootblousmile:
wat sou jy se as Saint die ou so noem
Staat scrum, near halfway, they break blind
Another penalty, almost yellow card time……………..
@ grootblousmile:
31
nou is dit my skuld
Staat penalty, on the Bulls 10m line, this time on the right hand side of the field
Sias misses to the right this time
Kwatch, Sias misses a 3 pointer.
Lineout right in front of me, Staat throw
Brillaint recovery by Danniler.
Bulls strongly on attack
Crossing!
Bulls employing the same one-off runners the whole time, they need to change tack… it’s predictable and stale
Not much happening in the Bulls backline… and it starts with Dustbin & Brommer…. slow and cumbersome
Dustbin knocks behind the ruck…. where is Snyman…
I can’t believe that the Sharks got rid off Strauss. Just look at the carthorses they have at their midfield.
TRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Staat hard on attack again… try Marcel van der Merwe
Staat 17 / 3
Staat again pressing the Bulls hard… 5m out, and they earn another penalty
Kick for poles.
They opt for touch… they want to score more tries
Another Drop Goal attempt by Sia, missed left
Penalty Bulls, on the Staat 10m line, left hand sie of the field
They go for touch
Bulls attacking now… Dustbin is wayyyyyyyy too slow to clear the ball behind the rucks
Staat penalty, a relieving one
Bulls have come close to the Staat line a few times, but time and again it broke down there
Again the Staat press hard… and their following up is good, hack though by a Bulls player… and he’s pushed, penalty to blue!
What speed by Kruger.
