Shimlas 4 / 2 Tuks
Bad kick-off by Shimlas, directly out, back to the middle spot for a Tuks scrum
Nouja, gesels ek maar lekker met myself, terwyl my roofkyker vrinne my nie kom bystaan nie… hoekom weet ek nie.
Tuks steal the Shimlas lineout on halfway… good kick ahead and Shimlas scrummie shanks it out on the Shimlas 5m line
Tuks try the driving maul, Shimlas hold it up and get turnover possession scrum
Tuks loosehead is a penalty machine… and the commentators desperately trying to talk up his virtues…
Jean Cook over the line, but is it a try?
TMO
Does not look like a try to me… foot out? Not grounded?
Gmpfff.. different angle and it looks like a try…
Lost over the line ruled.. 5m Shimlas scrum
Shimlas lucky there
Shimlas relieving penalty, about 10m from their own line
Tuks hard back on attack… and they get a penalty deep inside the Shimlas 22
They tap and go… close now.. Blommetjies over the line… held up… eish
Tuks 5m scrum… that was bad finishing by Blommetjies
Try Jean Cook, Tuks scrum walked the Shimlas right over the tryline…
Tuks 10 / 4 Shimlas
Shimlas attack, Adendorf comes to the rescue near the Tuks line.. Tuks scramble well and kick it to touch other side of halfway
Helter skelter attacking by both sides… Tiaan Schoeman tackled out near the Shimlas line.

Hello beter laat as nooit YEAH TUKS!
49 @ Bullscot:
Hello Bullybeef!
Thanks for joining me here
49 @ Bullscot:
Tuks looked fast asleep in the first 20 minutes, then came back well
@ grootblousmile:
Hello gbs good stuff hows it going man? Busy day this side so sorry if have to run away before game ends
51 @ grootblousmile:
Thats good did see when 1st put machine on we were 4/2 behind but then ahead by time logged on, hope for loads of Tuks tries in 2nd half
How many of these Tuks players are in or should make Bulls Super 15 squad?
52 @ Bullscot:
Freegin hell, all of us here seems busier than last year… sign of good things amongst the R-T people and our general welfare….
Can’t say the same for the rest of the South African population, unfortunately.
My wife, Handbriekie has resigned from her job, to make it bigger and better, doing her own things… so life has really had a kick up the bumper for the GBS’s with her stuff and my new enterprises….
2Nd Half ON!
54 @ Bullscot:
Not many… Mbonambi could be a bencher sometime.. Tiaan Schoeman is about Bulls no 4 flyhalf…. Lohan Jacobs is about no 4 scrumhalf.
Blommetjies is about the closest…
Good Tuks attack comes to naught as a penalty is awarded against them whilst deep on attack
Tuks penalty, Shimlas holding on, on the ground… good touch by Schoeman
Baulking.. eish Mbonambi….
