Blue Bulls (19) 27 / Lions (16) 36 (Final Score)
The Vodacom Blue Bulls hosted the MTN Golden Lions 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 & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Blue Bulls were just too ill-diciplined and Flip van der Merwe earned tow yellow cards, turning the final one into Red, whilst the Lions were mostly well diciplined and controlled all game.
The Lions deserved their win.

Left you a message on the other game thread….
23-12
@ grootblousmile:
Pleasure Boss.
I’m glad Dewald Potgieter was so honest and open regarding the roles of the players and returning Bokke earlier in the week.
A Captain has to be honest and open… and to gel normal players with aspiring Bokke takes secure focus…
Go Dewald, you good thing!
Players out on the field… not many people at Loftus, unfortunately
Game ON!
Elton Jantjies slots the first penalty.
Lions 3 / 0
Not a great start for the Bulls.
Jantjies slots the 2nd easy one.
Lions 6 / 0
Bulls now hard on attack….. tryyyyyyyyyy Chiliboy!
Lions 6 / 5
Lions on attack again…. penalty Bulls… a relieving one
I must say that Chilliboy has really impressed me this season.
Old Chili is on fire…. watch how he organises everybody… good communication
Scotland beat Ireland 10-6
Come now Bulls…. good attacking lineout situation now
England 23 Wales 19 with 2 mins to go.
Penalty Bulls…. taking away a Bulls player in the lineout
Bulls 8 / 6
Good Bulls attack…. Bulls lineout now again on the Lions 22
Scrum now on the Lions 22, Lions ball for a Bulls knock
What happened to the original Bulls Babes?
Lions penalty… relieving one
25@ Loosehead:
There was a Court dispute about the naming rights of the name “Bulls Babes”…. so the Bulls stopped using the company who provided the Babes… and eventually got new ones who are now trained by Warren Brosnihan’s wife.
Come on Bulls.
Brommer slots a penalty for the Bulls
Bulls 11 / 6
@ grootblousmile:
Pity, the originals were great!
