That Blues scrum looks messy.
Almost a Blues try… saved by Jan Serfontein.
TMO to check if there was a late-tackle and the possible try.
No try, 22 drop in!
@ Loosehead:
nah you actually didnt. it was correct
Blues all offside
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Jan Serfontein!
Whooooooooooooop!
Very nice try
1 short of the bonus point
classic bulls rugby!!! our centers having fantastic games
Much better with ball kept in hand
Another try scored by running with the ball.
And that’s the ball game,over and out.
High tackles starting to come in.
Blues could finish a few light here if they carry on like this.
Flip can der Merwe on fire.
Dis ‘n lekker ou Jan !
gosh the chiefs are the only new zealand team capable of tackling
Try time. Nice play by the Bulls. Ageee with Loosehead see what can be done if you donT kick every damn ball away. bulls playing some good rugby.
Okay off to the club now to watch the rest of this game ans the Sharks game.
Catch up later everyone.
Both Flip and Victor playing lekker rugby
Brilliant Bulls!

The Boys are back in town. Finally. This is how it’s done. Let’s hope the 2nd half goes as well.
@ superBul:
What happened to all the Matfield critics, I wonder?
Die ou toppie speel hulle stil jong!
we are running the ball more. but we usually start kicking when we find it difficult to penetrate the defence… but the blues have been spreading their legs like the proverbial auckland prostitute.
170: Schalk, Vic en Akona wys die jongmanne hoe.
Nou die momentum behou, nie slip soos die Stormers vanoggend nie.
the bulls showing a bit more patience.
but they are going to have to survive a massive blues onslaught this second half.
@ Pietman:
170
Ja soos goeie wyn
2nd Half ON!
Bulls scrum Free Kick!
@ NZINCHINA:
Cheers mate see you in July.
Alllllmost a Bulls try….
Back for the penalty.
Bulls playing well now!
