Forward pass by Sideshow Bob.
Sorry, counting my beloved Cheetahs as well, just the Stormers looked like a really form team this weekend. They were amazing. Bulls,cheetahs,lions,sharks all looked very average
Good counterruck by the Bulls… stealing the ball in the process
Pity about that forward pass. Bulls should play in the Saders half. Kick for touch and stop the up and unders.
Much better by the Bulls now
Nog nie EEN van die uppies het gewerk nie, hoekom aanhou daarmee ?
Can a scotch & soda go down so fast?
96 @ bdb:
Janee wragtig!
Greyling jou lekker ding!
@ Loosehead:only with ants
If Saders don’t run out of puff in the second half, this is going to be tough for the Bulls to come back.
@ Loosehead:
ha!!….you better believe it mate. Been delving into the wives wiskey stash this afternoon…my branna’s is op!!
Saders have a lot of lazy-running blockers the whole freegin time… and getting away with it every time

@ bdb:
As I said before. Start thinking Bullies!!!
100@ bean1: the alcohol just kills them off quicker.
This match is very much in the vein of the Bulls/Blues match a few weeks ago. The Crusaders playing very clever rugby – numbers they commit to the rucks, forcing the truck and trailer, drawing the pack in and swinging the ball wide.
Uiteindelik word hulle geping!
Saders have stolen numerous Bulls balls… not good
Bulls penalty, a long one… shot at goal is called
102@ bos_otter: dik swak planning by you.
@ Loosehead lol
Bulle mis vir Stegmann erg, verloor heeltemal te veel balle daar.
Eye gouging?
Crusaders 13 / 9 Bulls
Lemoenetyd
Bulls putting no pressure on the Saders. Saders just playing calmly and intelligently. Outwitting these physical children called the Bulls.
Morne with some points to take down the tunnel
@ Loosehead:
rofl….totally agree mate….will make up for it though….and replave wahever I used 🙂
Raait … kom nou coach … klap daai Bulls wakker innie changeroom …
113 @ Loosehead:
Heard it on the Field Ears… who gouged who?
102@ bos_otter: hoe wens jy nou dat daar ‘n shebeen naby aan die was?
