5m Scrum for the Rebels
Damn…
Phweeew… knock by the Rebels… looked dangerous there
Bulls defensive scrum, 5m out
@ Cheetah4eva:
Heard that also, from a friend of Pieter Pieterse on the west coast. Pieter also passed away in your town about the same time, armed burglary….eishhhh!
Rebels lineout, about 25m out
118@ grootblousmile:
It took a long time before he signed though. From what we read on all the blogs it was going to be Nienaber to be Defence Coach. Then one can’t really take some of the blogs that serious. Still think Meyer should have been after him long, long before he signed with the Stormers again. He is a brilliant Defence Coach and it shows in the Stormers game huge.
Bulls steal the Rebels lineout
Bulls steal another Rebels lineout…. and Morné sends them back deep
Dis beter Steyn, kom n slag weg daar en speel die hoeke ou seun.
Dean Greyling rucks well, steals the ball… ball goes wide.. almost.. then a vital knock
Bliksem donner.
Rebels scrum, deep in their own 22.
Scrum them Bulls!
Ahhhh, Bulls penalty, good steal attempt by Stander
Mortlock on
I leave the place for a few minutes and this is what I come home to – Bulls getting a bit of a snotklap by the Rabble it sounds like, whats going on?
Meisiekind off, Sadie on
Bulls loose trio should be Stander, Potgieter and Botha.
Skew throw by Chiliboy… arghhh
Bulls scrum, on the Rebels 10m line
Come on Bulls, just do it!
Dean knocks
Tryyyyyyyyyyyy JJ Engelbrecht!
Wonderful stab through by Morné!
Briiliant try – I get back, and all comes right again!!!!
Brilliant!!!!
Bulls 38 / 28 Rebels

Steyn the lead point scorer now, and well deserved!
Heyneke must be smiling, Steyn back on song, outstanding in general and positional play today.
