Game over…. and the Bulls have the chance to march on!
3 SA sides in the top 6
@ The_Young_Turk:
Reds might be without Quade Cooper as he has been cited.
Nice hug there by Morne and Janjies. Lovely to see….
Sal goed wees as Surfer Dude geskors word… @ Loosehead:
Final Score: Vodacom Bulls 37 / 20 MTN Lions
Bulls did not concede a point in the 2nd Half…. just like the Sharks
@ Loosehead:
Lets hope he’s out then.
Good luck in Christchurch Bulls.
Bulls and Sharks looked far far better than the Stompies today.
… and then there was only 6….
Brumbies and Hurricanes lose out.
187 @ Loosehead:
Now THAT is one freegin difficult game…. eina pain!
@ The_Young_Turk:Yup, going to be tough for the Poppies based on todays performance!!!
Stompies have had an awful struggle in their last 3 matches. Will their committed defense just manage to pull them through in the last 2 remaining matches?
@ The_Young_Turk:
Faark, I dunno. Playing Down Under may just be a bridge too far for our boys. Stormers might put up a show at Newlands, but that’s it, me thinks.
@ grootblousmile:
Yip going to be a moosa tough one. If the Bulls pull that off, it will be an awesome achievement.
Bulls and Sharks’ chances of pulling off an away win not beyond the boundaries of possibilty as neither Crusaders nor Reds in last year’s form.
The Reds are not going to roll over and play dead.

Did you meet Rob Peters from NewsPod Media today at Newlands, I told him to look out for you.
He’s asked that I Audio Record the Pressers for him here at Loftus, they have a show on 10 Radio Stations in the Cape…
@ grootblousmile:Yup, had a long chat – interesting guy
@ Loosehead:
Yup, as we have seen today, no team rolls over in this comp. It takes a true champ to go all the way.
198 @ Just For Kicks:
Met him a while ago… and we have worked together on a few things.
He said he would send us the Audio Clips of the Newlands Pressers too.
Ok fellas… let me pack up for the Pressers…
SA mission accomplished for this week, in fact a perfect weekend for SA Rugby.
@ grootblousmile:I record all the pressers too
Cheers, Gooooooooooi Mieliessssss
… and thanks to Loskoppie & Kickers for their Live Game Threads today… you should do it more, it really helps out!
