Bulls scrum between the Staat 10m line and halfway
Tjorts almal … tyd vi rock ‘n roll …
Hi Puma, Stormers were anything but convincing believe you me and they got skinned in the scrums. A rather flattering score actually..

Tjorts Kwaaitjie…. gooooooooi mieliessssss
5 Minutes to go in the match
Seeing you are so good at counting GBS, how many meters were the Bulls back at that penalty? 3, 4 or 5?
176: ja, hy het begin kruip van die kwartlyn af, hehehe
Louis Fouche is not the answer as flyhalf sub… glad young Pollard will be coming to the Bulls
Lekker Kwaaitjie, enjoy en report back seblief…
Try Brussow…. nice one!
Strong run it was!
And that is why Heyneke Meyer doesn’t pick Brussow, he runs into space, unlike bash it up caveman Potgieter, who isn’t the smartest pencil in the box
Bulls 40 / 24 Cheetahs
Mooi drie Cheetahs.
Cheetahs penalty… seconds left in the game
Bring back Jake White! Viva Jake
Game Over
Bulls made some daft subs… a truer reflection of the game is when they led 40 / 0.
Mission accomplished, game set and match.
Bulls playing like a team who have been playing together the last three weeks oh wait……….
Final Score: Vodacom Bulls 40 / 24 Toyota Cheetahs
Good victory Bulls, though difficult to gauge, the value of it, as it seems the Cheetahs were determined to not play until the match was in the bag. A case of match fixing is on my mind!
How can a team play so poor, actually not play at all? Think the powers that be, told Naka to pull this match, or face relegation!
183@ fender:
Have not seen the game at all. Will watch tomorrow. Recoreded it.
Seems there is not many supporters at Loftus. So many pick on the Sharks supporters about this, but really we have not had any less than 33 ooo at the Tank for the games. Looks like Loftus don’t have much more than 15 000 supporters at Loftus tonight. Surprising!
Brussouw ran into some gaps and then lost the ball a couple of times…
201` –@ Puma:
meant – recorded
Jees not great to blog after a few glasses of wine. Have not had any for weeks due to flu. Caught up tonight though! hehehehehe.
201 @ Puma:
28 958 spectators at Loftus tonight
196: ja, die subs werk net nie, en dit is nie ‘n goeie teken nie. As ons aan die einde weens punteverskil tweede kom gaan dit hierdie 24 punte wees.
Bud on de udder hant Derm, ‘n paar sleutelspelers het ‘n ekstra ruskansie gekry wat dalk later nodig gaan wees.
The Crusaders fix a game for the Hurricanes. Who is going to fix a game for the Sharks so they can knock out the Hurricanes
Ha ha nice one GBS, except, this trend has been in almost every Bulls match! How many have the Bulls lost in the last half?
A match is 80 minutes, and that is the onky reflection of the game. Typical Bulls arrogance, can’t give credit where it is due. Bulks concede 4 tries in the second half, n matter how you want to sugar coat it. After 40:nil, you should have won by a bigger margin!
Apparently there’s a theory that Brossouw isn’t a ball carrier…mmm.
Have not watched most of this game, or read a lot of the comments here. So how did Brussow go? Did he make any differnece tognight? Or is Meyer right? Do we need Brussow? I am a Brussow fan of course, but not sure if we really and truely missed him in the tests. Some say we did in the last test but not totally sure. What you all think from the game tonight?
207: ja-nee, Bulle moes 100-0 gewen het. En aangesien volgens jou dit net ‘n oefenwedstrydjie was het julle darem nie te sleg gedoen nie – so baie geluk.
