@ McLook:
Droogte daar? Ongelooflik, dis alles global warming-effek, lyk my.
This game is getting bloody fast now, i struggle to type and watch
@ McLook:
@92 Kruger prop, would you believe!
Great turnover by Flip.
@ McLook:
92
Werner Kruger
Penalty to Bulls , high tackle
95 & 93. Yes hard to believe. Not both to local warming I would think.
@ superBul:
Ja, jou spoed begin ook so stadigaan afneem met die jare, klink my….
Not a good decision by ref, but anyway he went high
Blues 16 – Bulls 25
Vermaak is having a god game on 9. Better than in his last three matches.
Bulls line under siege
What a relieving knock-on by the Blues.
Blues waste a try with a bad knock
Classy booing by the Aucklanders!
So that is where the Cape Town All Black supporters club learn’t it from.

Brilliant break by Spoes. About time too!
Spies and Vermaak great on the break away. 5 meter scum.
Carried over by Blues, scrum Bulls
Great run Spies.
Bulls try a pushover try, scrum went up
Spies en Vermaak kombineer lekker!
Jano went for the line but lost it on the line , no try
scrum Blues
Close one Vermaak.
@ Pietman:
amper werk die combo weer
Bulle moet hulle NOU bere!
From the scrum penalty Bulls
went for lineout
Hougaard on. Hope he can spark something.
Lineout drive turnover , ping pong ball retention
