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.
