Arno Botha
And now for something completely different.
@ grootblousmile:
Naah, knock on.
Fark, ruled lost forward
15 Minutes to go….
Penalty Lions, a relieving one, right on their 5m line
When did Patrick Cilliers become a scrumming monster?
Bit better by the Bulls… but then a little knock…
Mr GBS, I notice that you have zero faith in your beloved Bulls.
Bulls make 2 subs…..
107 @ Loosehead:
Without their Bokke, they’ve been a bit of a stutter man, like the Log indicates
10 Minutes to go… anybody’s game
Daar kak die Springbok voorry van die BULLE.
Lions penalty…. Taute goes for touch
Penalty Lions again, this one very kickable, Lions kick for touch
Bulls seriously under the kosh now…
Liewe land, kom ek nou eers in na n uur se gesukkel, weet nie at de moer aangaan nie, internet stadiger as n woestynskilpad hierdie kant, geen rugbyontvangs ook nie.
Ek verlang sommer Yzerfontein toe sulke tyd!
Loosehead, was at Bloem airport and saw that little plane take off with Hansie for the last time…..
@ grootblousmile:
Gooi maar die updates broer, is al wat ek het nou.
Defend Bulls
Excellent Bulls defence
Can the Bulls hold out…. Lions 7m away… now 5
Brilliant defense by the Bulls.
