Not a bad outing at all by the Bulls, lots of good came out of that game.
Mooi Bulle, eerste beker in die kassie vir die jaar !
Normality is restored, but my Bru goes south again
Well, a bloody good match, I would say!
Bulls jonges lyk goed. Verdediging was baie beter hier teen die einde.
Bulls lineouts a bit of a shambles, but not the main Locks or Hooker playing so again should not be a biggie.
Frik Kirsten het ook baie goed geskrum teen JC
132 @ Sharks_forever:
Hello Tjarkie… yip, not too worried about the lineouts
Some youngsters looking very good, must say
@ ben-die-bul: Eerste en laaste 😆 so atleast they wont go empty handed come season end 😆
Volgende ouens het my beindruk van die bulle: Visser, Mastriet, JAN, Steggies, Hattingh en Pollard en Beyers toe hul opgekom het.
Mapoe en Willemse was aan die stilkant, bulle se lynstane was nie goed nie, maar dalk was dit die haker wat nie goed ingegooi het nie.
133 @ leon:
Lyk nie sleg vir ‘n 1ste game, deur die reserwe span nie.
@ grootblousmile:
Hi Ruds, yeah i thought a good fast match with good interplay, not the usual Bulls style?? good to see, I see a lot more of the same style of play from all our teams this year, going to be a cracker.
135: hehe, middag aan jou, my ou Sharkie-wait-forever-vir-die-Sharks-om-nie-te-choke-nie, vriend ! 😉
Sterkte vir jou span vir die jaar.
Ireland leading Wales 30-10 in the 2nd half
@ ben-die-bul:
😆 selfde Benina 😆 moet se die mense wat die Bulls afskryf gaan bietjie skrik die jaar,
@ grootblousmile:
Die reserwe span kan dalk beter as die eerste span wees. Pierre Spies, altwee Potgieters, Ndugane en Basson sal baie beter moet speel om hulle plekke te regverdig.
Die jong manne het baie beter gespeel as wat ek gedink het. Ons almal het geweet wat om van Jan en Arno te verwag, maar Cook, Visser, Mastriet en Ismiaal het net so beindruk.
Ek is net nou nog meer de m#%$ in vir Pine dat hy Lionel Cronje so onreg aangedoen het. Bulle gaan nog baie spyt wees hieroor.
