Bulls 19 / 12 Stormers, was a try by Arno Botha!
Right guys, nice chatting again after so long. See you all for the next matches.

92 @ The_Young_Turk:
Next match is in half an hour!
@ grootblousmile:
Farkit, thanks for reminding me.
94 @ The_Young_Turk:
Pleasure, Gobbles!
Sounds like the Bulls are looking strong early in the season
In the other match at Polokwane the Blue Bulls lost narrowly to the Golden Lions, 24 / 26, having missed a conversion after the hooter.
96 @ Just For Kicks:
Don’t ever read too much in a warm-up game…
Bulls 19 / 19 Stormers… and Francois Hougaard was Yellow Carded in the process
OK, let’s drive this over a hundred… we should have had 300 comments on theis thread!
@ grootblousmile:for the Bulls to split their team in two, and play two top teams, they are doing very well, I think. Could be a very good season for them. I really think it will be between Bulls and Sharks this year for Conference Honours
Let me just go be sociable in the house for a minute… hehehe
101 @ Just For Kicks:
Fokkit Kickers, I expect the Bulls to only reach mid-table
@ grootblousmile:hahaha, you expected them to finish there last year too!
104 @ Just For Kicks:
Yip, I did, but they have lost 10 Bokke this time, man.
I still expect good things from them. The only competition in my book will come from the Cheetahs, and I just donA’t think they have the depth to go the whole season. Lions need time in the middle’ and the Stormers still have Toetie in charge
106 @ Just For Kicks:
Cheetahs depth this Season is awesome!
Stormers 26 / 19 Bulls, few minutes left to play
31/6 to the VRYSTAAT!
Final Score: Stormers 26 / 19 Bulls
Best thing about the Welsh was the national anthem.Awesome voices, awesome words,awesome tune
