117 @ The_Young_Turk:
So what is your take on Stormers and Sharks next week? Or do you have to see Sharks first tomorrow? Have not looked at this game until about a few minutes back.
@ Puma:
Not one of Jantjies’ best performances.
Habana and Joe nearly got the Stormers back into the game, but Stormers really poor up front tonite. They needed Eben and Schalla.
So 15 jaar terug het die Bulle ‘n paar Vrystaat sterre gekoop (Os, Naka en Jannie DB), hulle kon nie lekker aanpas by Bulle rugby nie. Wonder of dit nie ook die probleem met die Lions spelers in die Stormers span is nie, hulle het totaal uit plek gelyk.
25-17
@ ben-die-bul:
Os en Naka was by die Bulle? Wraggies? Ek kan nie dit onthou nie….
Okay score wise, Stormers don’t even pick up a losing bonus point win. Last year when Sharks had to play Stormers and Bulls away they picked up a losing bonus point in both games which in turn turned out crucial. Does this mean anything right now? Not sure myself, it could be. Could Stormers afford to lose to Sharks and Chiefs next week and go on to make the finals like Sharks did last year after a bad start? Just saying and wondering out loud here. Not sure, any thoughts from anyone here? As Stormers were favourites in our conference according to Reunion last this week.
@ ben-die-bul:
124
dink die patroon pas hul nie, JM het lekker hardloop rugby gespeel, wens tog die Bulle leen hom bietjie
@ Puma:
127
you are a brave man to see a pattern after only one game
Well done Bulls.
The Stormers were well beaten.
123 @ Pietman:
Thanks boet, was just wondering out loud here as never saw the game. Thought Elton might add something to Stormers he clearly has not yet anyhow. They might add Grant for next week at flyhalf against Sharks if Elton was not up to it. How was Taute against what Joe does or Aplon has done at the back for Stormers? Just want to know to get a feel for Sharks game against them next week. Will watch this game tomorrow have it recorded.
126: ag nee Pieta, daar is nie ‘n manier dat ek dit weet en jy weet dit nie ?
Dink dit was 1998/9 of iewers daar. Die een goeie ding wat daaruit gekom het is dat Jannie en Joost saam vir die Bokke gespeel het toe ons die Engelse in die 1999 WB geklop het met Jannie se 5 skepskoppe !
Now I bloody get into the website… now that the freegin game is finished.
Hell this 3G thing at Loftus needs sorting out!
OK My BULLE ek het soos julle gevra het by julle gestaan. Hierdie wedstryd was teen die verdediging spesialiste, moontlik sal van julle aanvalle teen ander spanne op driee uitloop maar groot asseblief moet nie die hele jaar ons snoep met sulke spel nie. Ons wil driee sien.
@ Puma:
Will be able to judge the Sharks after tomorrows game but think Sharks fans should feel confident after this Stormers performance.
Super, Albie Morkel het opgedaag vir die partytjie, slaan 46 van 17 balle, Titans met met 5 paaltjies teen die Warriors.
Nou wat kan ‘n bul meer vra:
1. AB naby sy 100
2. Titans wen
3. Bulle wen
4. Nou moet Tukkies nog net Maandag die TaMaties klop ?
GBS, as jy nog nugter is, laat weet wat die Bulle se VC span se telling was teen die Cheetahs se CV span, dankie.
129 @ superBul:
Think you have it wrong Super. I have not even seen this game let alone have a pattern. Just looking at the score and going by last year, not much a pattern bru, just thinking ‘What If’ nothing really just wondering right now. Can’t make much out of wondering surely? Anyhow well done to Bulls. Again wanted to go with them and thought more about it with the Boots show and some blokes here and went with Stormers. Was going to go with Bulls by 3. I always go with low margins just to be a bit safe. I am not good on bru really so can’t make much of it there. I also went with Stormers not only because of everyone having them to win, but also that they lost Steenkamp and Greyling.
@ ben-die-bul:
Nee, onthou nie, sowaar! Gedog Jannie was Vrystaat met daai 5 skepskoppe WB….
I wont write off the Stormers yet, they were in this game all the way, if they had a better kicking performance it would have been the Bulls on the receiving end.
137 @ Puma:
meaning – Bulls lost Steenkamp and Greyling.
133: jy moet jou rekenaar aansit om ‘n sein te kry hoor !
Well done Bulls, i called them to win,
Now can you imagine how much flack Lambie would have copped had he missed the tackles and kicks Jantjies did???
139 @ superBul:
Did their kickers miss some at goal Super? That costs a lot at times if you playing for penalties which Stormers do. They need a accurate kicker to play to their game plan I think. Still just going by what what is said here and scores. Will watch the game tomorrow I have recorded it was out tonight.
OK now for the Kings to soften up the Force, our next opponent
134: Kirsten en Arno moet begin, al is Werner en Dewald nie te ernstig beseer nie. As JJE erg beseer is, dan kan WO en Swys senters wees en hopelik Jan op die reserwebank. Mellet het my beindruk, gedink hy gaan sukkel.
@ Puma:
Jantjes missed all his kicks, 4 or 5 cant really remember, but at least 4
As for the BUlls last try?? it was a legal try for 2 reasons,
1stly the ball did touch the Stormers no17’s foot, 2ndly when Hougaart kicked the ball he ran forward which actually brough chilly level to him which makes him onside, there after chilli ran forward
142 @ Sharks_forever:
Jees bro, thank goodness you here to say what happened. Asking but none with a answer. So it was Elton that missed the kicks and tackles? Not that surprised he done much the same against Stormes when playing for Lions in the semi of the Currie Cup. Then again he has not trained with team mates since he lost his Dad. So probably unfair to critizise him right now I suppose. Lambie no matter what would have been taken apart by now if he had missed any kicks no matter what.
@ Sharks_forever:
147
what did you think of the JdeV try.
Did he for starters not play the ball on the ground/2nd movement, how no foot touched the sideline? and was there not also n knock? This one is full of questions
147: dit is hoe ek dit ook gesien het.
148: nie baie goeie wedstryd nie, het gewag dat dit vlamvat, en het so bietjie in die eerste 20 minute na halftyd, maar verder was dit so-so. Maar ons Bulle vat die wen, hopelik sal die manne volgende week teen Force met groter vryheid speel.
@ Puma:
😆 bro yeah, Jantjies was very poor missing 4 kicks on the trot, Fourie lost many lineouts, Jantjies also missing tackles galore
