Lions hard on attack and doing well
Don’t lose it now Lions
3m Out… Bulls defence holding, so far
Good try at last by Strauss
Try for Kaptein Sardyn… ou Baardman!
Goeie drie Leeus, welverdiend.
Spies demonstrates his worth once again!
Strauss is n Springbok, for sure.
Bulls 32 / 18 Lions
Nog baie tyd oor, game kan enige kant toe gaan.
Lions way offside from a kick knock… penalty Bulls… shot at goal
Missed right this time by Morne… fokkit!
218@ Pietman:Lets hope so, huge grafter – heart of a lion (no pun intended)
Steyntjie, trek daardie balletskoene uit en kry ordentlike tokse.
Steyn busy kicking himself out of the Bok jersey at the moment, It’s Goosens all the way at the moment
Jantjies kicks directly into touch… Bulls attacking lineout, inside the Lions 22
This ‘high kick and charge’ rugby is going to cost the bulls dearly on tour down under….I don’t like it. It may work against the Lions, but not against the likes of the Brumbies and those.
225@ Just For Kicks: Yes please.
Bulls maul fails… goes down… unplayable, Lions scrum
This tourney is just way, way too long. S15 finishes in August and this is only APRIL! Who will be left standing? Talking about teams without injuries?
Saru was crazy to have accepted this new format. We still have 3 tests to play in June then the Rugby Championship after August. Heck there is a hell of a lot of rugby to be played for the players. Injuries are gonna be a curse this year.
Lions penalty, quick tap and go
…and the Lions kick away possession again
230@ Puma:Agree, it’s just stupid
Bulls penalty… no clear release.
@ Just For Kicks:
Ditto on Goosen, and Lambie. Steyn not up to it at the moment, poor reading of the game by nowadays, and no flair at all, very De Wet Ras kind of flyhalf he turned out to be.
Morne going for goal again… this one missed left.
Flok, he better sub his shoes for the old ones!
DeWalt Potgieter on.
MS misses again.
Eish Morne, nie goed nie.
10 Minutes left…. Bulls should have been much further ahead!
Just lost all the live feeds. How are things your side Otter?
