Final Score: Vodacom Blue Bulls 33 / 30 Toyota Free State Cheetahs
Never before have I been so happy to be wrong on Bru…. hehehe
Fark I hate losing.
@ grootblousmile:
My Bru is up to shit again.
That was a bloody good match
neee hete ek haat verloor maar well done bulls baie goed terug gekom
@ grootblousmile:
Drive home safely to the Panne. I am out of here.
Eishhhhh my hart….. het iemand vir my pille?
Phew yay good win guys, sounds like Free State gave us a big fright, also jus reading through some of the comments it seems like quite a few injuries on both sides, hope none too serious. All the best for your next game Loosehead.
This makes up a bit for the bad Bokke loss this morning.
I am also happy my Bru is already a disaster
At least now the Blue Bulls have some points on the Currie Cup Log….
OK, let me Log Off and enjoy my Miller… and then go to the presser.
Gooooooooooooi Mieliesssssssssss!
SuperBul thanks for putting me on Superbru, not that it did me much good though, was way too optimistic with my score guess. Couldn’t follow the game but seems like it was a good one to miss, hope it goes better next week, but thought the All Blacks will be a tougher team to beat than Aus.
144@ grootblousmile:
Enjoy GBS! If you can please ask how serious the injuries are? Cheers vir eers.
Well done to the Bulls, and thanks for stuffing up my Super bru prediction.
Now watching the Bulle again on Supersport. Justin Jinka played a good game and his hand was in every try the Bulls scored. The deft pass to Akona made that try, really a fresh new scrummie who did not think about linking with the pods or kick as first option.
148@ superBul:
Disagree totally… also watched the PVR recording this morning.
At every ruck, scrum and whenever he gets the ball, Dustbin shuffles a full 2 or 3 steps in the direction he will pass to.
Slow, cumbersome… and giving the attack no impetus.
Brommer then compounds the problem with sub-standard distribution, leaving the 2 Blue Bulls centers nothing but to run crash ball.
Dustbin’s 2nd half was better, but as soon as Ruan Snyman comes on deep in the 2nd half, there is suddenly speed on the ball… pity he was injured
@ grootblousmile:
OK lets argue about it.
FduP and FH – ball is lying there – they look around – they direct traffic – they show all there intentions – then pick up fast and pass. Correct? From the moment the ball is already there to play to the actual pass is far too long. OK the pass itself might be a bit faster but how many times did they take their eyes of the ball.
Justin Jinka – gets hand on the ball – steps back and then decides where to pass – ball much faster out of the scrum –
Whitch one you like and the way i like it might differ, but watching the other teams JJ looks like the real deal. The fact is that Snyman made more mistakes in those few minutes out there. Jano and Sarel is showing us another way of playing i hope this guy gets a proper chance to settle in the team.
The guy you call names , Brummer has won 2 titles for the Blou Bulle and his kicking was crucial yesterday. He too needs more game time. We dont have a nippy no 10 on our payroll, do we?
