Good kick, to end what, apart from a few minutes, has been some ultra dull rugby
Dont know what to say, i am speechless. A real below par effort so far by the Bulls
Laat ek maar niks sê oor die eerste helfte nie, eers na tweede helfte kyk
Maybe Bools will pull a Chiefs and plough the Farce in the second half. The poor, poor Cheatahtjies were turned around and bent over in shameful fashion
Heya guys. From a Vrystater that always defended the Bulls against word bashing, I feel real sad about the rugby sofar today. first the Cheethas (maybe not all their fualt, but they definately had a hand in there loss) and now this boring tennis game in Pretoria. Come on Bulls if there is one SA team that can take this years SRC, then it is you guys. But not like this.
Come on Bulls you better than this rubbish you dishing up here. Put this team away now in the 2nd half.
let me throw in a LAME one in, in 2007 the Bulls lost against them and took their first Title that year. K$k verskonning ne. Maar magtig kom nou Bule ons staan by julle kom nou en mors met die Force
2 Nd Half ON!
Lets hope for a better second half
Sies Ebersohn slots another droppie.
Bulls 14 / 12 Force
Good try Mastriet
Tryyyyyy Sampie Mastriet!
Whoop!
Good stuff Haas Maas
Much better start to second half.
Bulls 19 / 12 Force
Forward 50 fases terug ?
So far all points in game from Saffers. What is going on in Aus.
Keep it up like this Bulls, please
Come on Bulls… 2 tries down, 2 to go
Intercept by No 6, Force… in under the sticks
Oh flokkity flok flok!
Only good thing about this move, is that my screen went blank, and I saw nothing of the try!!!
Bulls 19 / 19 Force
@ Just For Kicks:
Mine too, ha ha!
Jacques Potgieter down, took a shot… en heel deurmekaar.
Come on, put Jean Cook on!
Hopeless rugby
