Bull no line speed when they run with the ball. Doing all the passing standing still and behind the advantage line.
Bulls is losing the battle at the collions at the moment.
Penalty Cheetahs on the halfway line
Burten for posts
Bulls 6 / 9 Cheetahs
The players can be lucky Japtha is not a traffic cop tonite otherwise they would have gotten a ticket for shoes thats too shiny
@ McLook:
No “Fourie Du Preez” you mean.
Lemoene tyd
Bulls 6 / 9 Cheetahs
Jeeeez, Jan Serfontein must pass the ball sometimes… and not just try to run crashball
Japhta is a Grapta, he misses way too much to make this game the spectacle it deserves to be
Ai Bulle, julle beste losvoorspeler sit op die bank.
@ grootblousmile:
67
must say that Pieter Roussouw does not have any positive influence in our back line play. Maybe he is not allowed but our talented backs look stale.
Let’s see if the bulls coaching staff can identify the problem. Too slow of the line; waiting mostly on defence for attackers to come to them; too slow to the breakdowns; on attack the first receivers get the ball standing still. Saw Speis a couple of times. Are the other two bulls loose forwards actually on the field? Chillibin is the bulls best loose forward at this stage.
Serfontein need to receive flat ball so he can run with speed into the holes. Bulls are nullifying that talent with their inability to create front foot ball. Unless the bulls come out and play with more speed onto the ball/tackles the Cheetahs are going to win this match.
@ superBul:
Pass to the next guy to crash it up. Serfontein must be wondering when is he going to receive a ball from a 10 who doesn’t stand so deep that the flankers need a bicycle to reach him
Bulle het nie voorspelers wat die bal oor die voordeellyn kan vat nie. Arno kan en ‘n fikse Dean en Willemse kan, maar nie die ouens wat nou op die veld is nie. Dewald en Stegmann nie sterk baldraers nie.
Bulls best loosie, Arno Botha, is on the bench. The Cheetahs loosies are better than the Bulls loosies, so far.
Things all start right there….
2nd Half on
Ludeke talking about more patience. That is the bloomen problem they are patiently waiting for the ball/attackers standing still behind the advantage line. Shyte he is not seeing the problem.
Nog ‘n doellose skop
@ McLook:
That problem is really easy to see. Steyn stands way to deep. No flat ball.
Just look at the Crusaders vs Bulls and vs the Chiefs game in 2009. Steyn created 0. Du Preez made 6 tries. Just with a flat pass or a pass to someone running at a angle. Steyn received man of the match but what do they know when a def chip from Du Preez created a try for Habana and Stransky yell out what vision from Matfield when in reality Matfield was hanging in the backline and pass the ball to the guy next to him who was covered by three guys
Try Jano Vermaak!
Whoooopie!
There you’re first bull ball carrier attacking the line with speed and he score.
13-9
Bulls 13 / 9 Cheetahs
Mooi Vermaak !
Bulls penalty, kickable…. gooi mielies Morné!
Ok, can we start to bitch about the ref now?
Verstaan nie hierdie ref nie, lyk my een helfte blaas hy vir die een span en die ander helfte vir die ander span ?
Bulls 16 / 9 Cheetahs
Bliksem@78. Morne Steyn standing deep because the bulls are not moving forward at he collisions. Once hey do Steyn will automatically start to play flatter.
It starts, Boels by 23.
@ superBul:
I actually put the Cheetahs to win this…..!!
Bit of multitasking going on here, will just keep checking the scoreline!!
Go Bulls 🙂
