Bulls need a farking massive klap at halftime to pull them right.
Lemoenetyd
for the last 10 minutes of that half, Bulls looked decidedly ordinary, I’m afraid. Blues deserved to down the tunnel with the lead.
@ Just For Kicks:
Blues have definitely taken their chances unlike the Bulls who have botched theirs.
Going to be a massive test of character for Bulls to come back in the 2nd half unless Blues run out of steam.
Aaaaaagh no man, I don’t believe this!!!Just got home at break-neck speed and now I find this shocker awaiting me….let me grab something red and strong first, homebrew….
@ Pietman:Make it a double, you need it! Bulls have been butchering everything they see

OK Bulls, make this a better half!
2 Nd Half ON!
With all the possession and territory they had, the Bulls have no excuse
Blues scrum between the Bulls 22 and halfway line
Bulls scrum as Blues knock
Steyn gets one of his own!!!!
@ superBul:
Jisja bru, woeste dag gehad, kyk nou my eerste rugby. Hoes ding daar? Lyk maar kukkerig op Loftus jong…..
Blues scrum all the way back from where Morné kicked….. eishhhhhhh
Bulls under the kosh as Blues attack
Bulls scrum…. sjoe, bietjie verligting.
Relieving scrum for the Bulls. Good defence, but they must support the ball player, or they’re going to lose the ball every time
JJ Engelbrecht on, Francois Venter off… subbed.
Maybe a very good thing
Bulls defensive lineout, deep in their 22

Morne het n slegte afdag
Bulls look unable to enforce dominance over the Blues.
Nonu again
Fark, what is going on. Think boys!
Bulls penalty, quick tap…. and it only leads to the inevitable…. a Blues penalty
Darn Vermaak! Should have taken the farking kick for posts.
