Potgieter!!!!!
Bulls steal the Lions lineout…. and Malkop Potgieter bursts through… over the line, but is it held up?
5m Scrum, Bulls ball
I’m getting confused by all these Potgieters. Can you imagine if Jacques-Louie was still in the team too?
Not to mention making it an Aussie commentator’s nightmare aa well….
Another Bulls scrum, Spies went the wrong way from the back in the previous one…
Tryyyyyyyyy Bjorn Basson!
Heeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaa
Bulls 17 / 6 Lions
Nicely done by Hougie and Bjorn!
Lions penalty just after kick-off, kick to touch
Lions get a very attacking scrum, 5m from the Bulls line
Wrong Bulls option to try and run it away from their own line… THAT’s where you kick for safety boys!
Simple mistakes
How do Jossh Straus’s team mates recognise him without his beard?
Lions penalty on the 5 again… what will they do… scrum is the option
Try Bondesio
Bumdisio was never going to pass after that scrum…
Bulls 17 / 13 Lions
Penalty Bulls, right in front of the sticks, a pop-over ball
Hougaard raak nou soos Joost van ouds, met daai beduiery agter die skrum.
Bulls 20 / 13 Lions
@ The_Young_Turk:Has his girlfriend finally moved to JHB, or has he secretly signed a contract with WP?
Just that intercept try being the diff right now…
76 @ Pietman:
Hulle oet hulle kak laat staan, ek raak beflok!
Lions awesome at scrum time, but woeful at line outs.
High kick and charge by Morne…..en daaai kukkus die Bulle!!!
Great try on the HT whistle. Strauss
Lions penalty deep in the Bulls 22… kick to touch… and they get their lineout…. and try by Captain Josh Strauss
The Beardless One has loss no power without his beard. No Samson he!
Hmm…Lions take the lineout and score throuh Gillette Strauss….impressive!
And a good kick means the teams go down the tunnel even stevens
Bulls 20 / 20 Lions
