@ Pietman:
Vermaak is darem deur die ref wakker gemaak, hy was baie stadig aan die begin. Duidelik dink hy 5 sekondes is baie lank
@ Pietman:
60 was al lus en bel hom wakker
Nou n lekker koppie kofie geniet met ware anys beskuit
Bulls moet nou net nie laat slap le. Hulle het moeg gelyk daar op die einde.
Ons kon die Blues al amper gebere het as die geloof en afronding bietjie beter was
Epect the Blues are going to show some passion in this half.
49 @ Pietman:ek sien hy was vroeer hier maar nou niks.
Hy het seker gaan weer warm lepel le.
‘n mens voel die seisoene draai hier. Nogal koelerig in die vroeg oggend ure nou.
Second half starts with the Blues on the run, run , run
Penalty in front for Blues
Kick over
Blues 9- 15
Is extremely hot in NZ at the moment. Bulls need to take more fluids and pace themselves.
Kerr had two great line kicks , hitting the Bulls with their own medicine
Bad knock by Spies, a Bulls move stopped by that
Ou kuk handtjies Spies just knocked it on.
@ McLook:
does it get hot there too?
Thought it is a cold wet country.
I think we have the first scrum reset now
Followed by a free kick to Blues
Ai toggie, Bulle nou bietjie los….hulle moet nou nie die bleddie game weggooi nie, asseblief.
Jacques Potgieter on
Ralepele on
Blues on the run, Zane had to take the ball out inside his own 22
Blues on the line

Bulls score. Great stuff. They have something left in the tank it seems.
@ McLook:
Bulls should have buried them in the first half. Now it is up-hill……but here we go!!! Yesssss, Botha!!!!
