Bulls, don’t take your hooves off the necks of the Reds. Trample them Bulle!
Reds on attack in the Bulls 22
Forward pass by the Reds, relieving Bulls scrum
118@ Scrumdown:It’s that pawing first step that gets me!
Long kick by Morné to touch… great one
Genia reminds me so much of Gregan. Such a mature player destined to become a legend too.
Penalty Reds, offside by the Bulls at the lineout
Reds knock at their lineout…
Bulls scrum… hooter goes but the scrum will happen
124@ Just For Kicks:
Trigger movement, as used by Bubba and all half decent golfers.
My trigger movement is a good long sluk of Black Label!
Reds get the scrum penalty
Ref, daardie is ook geen voordeel vir die Bulle nie, maar o ja, dit is was die Reds se beurt om ‘n strafskop by die skrums te kry, volgende een is weer die Bulle s’n.
Misses to the right… heee haaaaaaaaa
Lemoenetyd
132@ grootblousmile:
How many tappets in attendance?
hmm I guess I missed the two replacement front-rowers coming on for the reds. I bet once the bulls call on their replacements, someone will take a dive and we’ll goto uncontested scrums.
Nou is ek lus vir ‘n mooi goeie dop!
He really does look daft with that initial pawing action before he kicks!
133 @ Scrumdown:
Not ONE… the Lions are playing at the Coke-Tin!
Only good Bulls supporters!
Bly ons is voor, maar ons speel nie goed nie, Bulle moet pap bietjie dikker aanmaak.
134@ RAbies:
Seems to be the norm this season. Flipping anoying though.
Bulls are certainly dominating play… but not rounding off well.
129@ Scrumdown:Hahaha, I once had a horse called Trigger when I was a kid – it’s all coming together now!
137@ grootblousmile:
Oh yes, I forgot the tappet boilermaker / physio got banned from attending for throwing the “drink” bottle after kicking the security official in the face!
135@ grootblousmile:Beer-o-clock, me thinks
Kaplan eet ons by die skrums…
@ Scrumdown:
I don’t know why teams are not playing with a full front row on the bench. I thought that the IRB rulled that there could be 8 on the bench provided that there was a full front row. Probably to save the costs of another player I suppose.
Hougies is ‘n gamebreaker soos min, maar hy is nie ‘n generaal soos FDP wat die ouens om hom goed kan wegstuur en in gapings plaas nie. Soek bietjie vinniger diens om die skrums en Hougies in meer spasie.
144 @ Blouste:
Hulle neem AL die contest uit die skrums uit… ons sal moet skree soos EEN man vir verbetering van die reëls… hierie geblaas wanner hulle lus is, is loutere kak!
141@ Just For Kicks:
I’ve seen a few horsey types at your once favourite watering hole the Wild Duck, they didn’t like to be ridden too often though. Also not too sure if they would have liked being called Trigger to their faces!
Bulls curtailing the Reds well, and playing the Bulls game plan… just not finishing!
Ons moet 4 driee druk in die game !!!
