That’s it! Lions can’t prevent the Bulls from playing the Crusaders now.
Come on Bulls, now you must hammer the nails home… no slacking off!
@ grootblousmile:
Die ‘swart’ Potgieter speel soos n pure Springbok vanaand, wie weet dalk het HM tog iets beet met die outjie.
123 @ Pietman:
Hy’s net bietjie mallerig.. donner net in soms, sonder om te dink.
Maar hy kry groot punte vir effort…. hehehe
Lions lineouts suffering, Bulls steal another… I make that 5 now
Lions penalty, quick take by Bondesio
Hell, the 3G connection here sucks big time…. maar ek sal voortbaklei…
Good that the refs are cracking down on dirty play before it gets out of hand.
Lions lineout on their own 22… they knock, Bulls scrum
@ Pietman:
Maar wat sien HM tog in Stain?
Little knock by Hougie

Bulls looking the business now. Sharks and Bulls must now do the business for SA
Bulls penalty and lineout Bulls, on the Lions 22
@ The_Young_Turk:
Dink nie HM sal weer Steyn speel nie, darem nou te veel goeie ander losskakels in die land met ‘flair’. As Goose reg is, is hy die man, dink ek.
Bulls driving maul doing well…. Bulls almost through
Kirchner, you twat. Pass the flokking ball
Krusty over… but suinig…. TMO
Two try saving tackles by Jantjies!!!!
Crusty loses ball.
No try… Krusty, damn man, just a simple pass would have done it
Lions defensive scrum, now the Lions scrum under pressure
Deon Stegmann on for Dewald Potgieter
Crusty drops team.
@ Pietman:
Think it’s far too early to throw Goose into the position. He has only had a few super15 games so far and then has been injured for about 2 or 3 months. Really can’t make that judgement on his ability yet.
Bulls penalty, just outside the Lions 22, right in front
Bulls 37 / 20 Lions
Stop calling Sideshow Bob, Krusty.
@ Loosehead:
LOL
@ The_Young_Turk:
That’s maybe the only reason why HM would be stuck on Morne, Grant or even lambie for a while.
