Blue Bulls (32) 44 / Griquas (3) 20 (Final Score)
The Vodacom Blue Bulls hosted GWK Griquas at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria at 17:05 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & CSN on TV in SA.
The Blue Bulls simply blew the Griquas away in the first 30 minutes, but Griquas, as we’ve come to know them, are fighters, and fought back bravely, but fell short of their bonus point try.
The replacements made by the Blue Bulls ccaused a serious slump in form, with the Griquas managing to outscore the Blue Bulls in the second Half.

Kwas gets a penalty…. and they’ll go for goal
some ou’s sit and work and some ou’s watch rugby under the pretense of working!!!
They’ve forgotten Monty Dumond’s tee somewhere…. he has to place it in the grass…. and misses the attempt.
Tee, tee ! … drink koffie man !
Blue Bulls earn another penalty… I think the players are going to get gatvol of this little referee…
Louis Fouché going for posts again
Overrrr
Blue Bulls 13 / 0
Louis Fouche packs a massive boot… I think he can easily get the distance to posts from within his own 10m line
my prediction is on track then.
Kwas now on attack, Sarel Seemonstertjie breaking… Kwas get a penalty, they opt to kick for touch
Forward pass by Kwas.
I like the look of the urgency of the Bulls new loosies… they are really amped for business
So far Fouché looks in another class to what the Blue Bulls have had so far at Fullback.
Kwas driving well from a lineout.
Kwas gets a free kik, about 10m out… they choose the scrum
Bulls steal the ball…
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Juandre Krugerrrrrrrrr

Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Juandre Krugerrrrrrrrr
