Damn, Force turning many Bulls balls over on the ground
Penalty against Chiliboy, on halfway
At this rate, the Kings are going to give the Bulls a real run for their money!
GBS, have you disabled the reply and quote thingies?
Freegin hell… need a fetcher… get Jean Cook on!
94 @ Loosehead:
No.
I saw this struggle coming, the Force thought the Kings was just a warmup , but they aimed at the Bulls.
Force 9 / 8 Bulls
What a Kick. Amazing
Bulls penalty, on the Force 10m line
Much better by the Bulls
Bulls 11 / 9 Force
Let this be the last time the Force see, or come near the lead again
Hougaart does not impress me, the Reeva thing bugging him?
Die Magtige Bulle is besig met stadige gif soos in oom Lourens se dae. Ons gaan hulle stukend speel in die tweede helfte.
105 @ Owen Meany:
Hoop jy is reg, Meanie!

Good hands by Zane Kirchner
…And thats how you do it
Come on Bulls this is boring boring stuff, should have put this team away by now.
Thank goodness for that try it was becoming a real boring game.
Was it a forward pass?
Forward.
But see again what happens when Steyn doesn’t kick every ball away.
Shame, but a great effort. More of that play and it will be a cricket score
Forward pass ruled… close call
As dit die Blues was sou niemand vir n kyk-weer gevra het nie.
bulle nie hier bonuspunt kry nie gaan dit baie swak wees.
Ciao a tutti! Come on Bools, violate this Farce!
Force captain Hodgson, off injured
