See you guys later… have to go to Midrand, then clients… then of course to Loftus.
Speak to you from there.
1 @ grootblousmile:
Hello Gbs, enjoy your time at Loftus hope you come with 5 points for us Bulls. I think think the u19s or u21s were due to be playing round about now too so hope we get the Friday rugby off to a good start. GO BULLS!
I see the Windies and Aussies are playing each other in T20 World Cup semi-final right now to decide who gets to play Sri Lanka in the final. Latest score Windies batting first : 23/1 after 3 overs 4 balls
2 @ BullscotBok:
meant to say hope you come away from Loftus with 5 points in the bag for us Bulls, oh dear bleary eyes fat fingers…
Score from Loftus: Blue Bulls u19 31-25 Sharks u19, game kicked off 1445 SA time. Bit of a comeback from Blue Bulls after trailing at halftime score then was Blue Bulls u19 14 – 31 Sharks u19
Oh dear got the u19s score horribly wrong sorry it should read Blue Bulls u19 26 – 31 Sharks u19
Windies 46/1 after 6 overs
Latest u19s score from Loftus : Blue Bulls 34 – 34 Sharks!
Windies 58/2 after 7 and a half overs
Oh no it looks like the Sharks u19s have won with a drop kick after the hooter went. Congratulations Sharks.
It looks as if the Blue Bulls have gone for Morne Mellet as starting loosehead with Greyling on the bench which means that there is a 5-2 bench split with Ulrich Beyers out of the squad for tonight which may be a bit of a gamble considering this is Bassons first game back after injury.
Revised team – Vodacom Blue Bulls: 15 Jürgen Visser, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Louis Fouchè, 9 Jano Vermaak, 8 CJ Stander, 7 Jean Cook, 6 Dewald Potgieter (Captain), 5 Franco Mostert, 4 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 3 Werner Kruger,2 Willie Wepener, 1 Mornè Mellet.

Windies were 113/2 after 13 overs, they need to accelerate now, sounds like Gayle has not had much of the strike only faced 25 balls so far after opening the batting.
Windies 132/2 after 15 overs Dwayne Bravo 30 and Chris Gayle 50 not out
Howzit Bully – looks like the Aus/WI game could get very exciting later on, pity I have to work!
15 @ Just For Kicks:
Howzit JFK how you guys doing? Yes looks as if Gayle is on fire, imagine if he had faced more than he has so far, are you watching at the moment, I’m just following on the net. Shame you’re working mate must be quite busy thought you only worked gentleman’s hours 🙂 , but you’re not alone am on a run of nights now so will be back in at work tonight too.
Windies 150/3 after 17, looks as if Gayle has scored 18 runs off the last 9 balls he has faced
Windies 180/3 after 19 overs, some big hitting by Gayle and Pollard
@ BullscotBok:Only a couple of months, and I am out of the hospitality industry – forever, I hope!!!!
Awesome innings by Gayle, gives the WI a score of 205 after 20 overs. Not going to be easy for the Aussies, they’re going to have to go flat out from the word go – over 10runs/over.
Wow Windies 205/4 after 20 overs, 25 runs off last over! Should be too much pressure on Aus chasing for them to get this score.
19 @ Just For Kicks:
Oeps sorry hadn’t seen your post of the score, just got a bit busy this side. Sounds like things are looking bright there for you man, just hang in then for the next few months. Must dash family time then work, cheers for now.
I think that WP might just win this.
Blue Bulls Under 21’s slaughtered the Sharks U 21’s….
Something like 61 / 15…. I went to go dish up from the buffet, so missed the last couple of minutes.
Oh, and hello from fortress Loftus…. lovely evening, nice and hot
Far more people on the main stand compared to the East Stand… the Bulls Babes entertaining us at the moment
WP side taking the field….
Wilhelm Steenkamp should come out first for his 50th… and does… followed by the Blue Bulls!
Game ON!
23 @ grootblousmile:
Thanks for the U21 score ou pel thats good news especially after the U19 disapointment in the end. Enjoy the main game here’s hoping for a good win by us, will be away to work in a bit so will check up the result later probably. Cheers for now 
Hi ya, dishing from the Buffet… sounds like they looking after you very well there at Loftus. But you should really be focussing on the rugby and watching till the final whistle
