    @ Sharks_forever:
    Halloooooo Sardynjagter!
    Wetie broer, ek het n gevoel hierdie is die een plaaslike wedstryd wat die Sharks dalk mag gly.
    J-L Potgieter op sy stukke pale toe, n sterk vaste vyf selfs sonder Flip,en met Dewald Potgieter terug om Marcel Coetzee vas te le en die ‘off-loads verder te vat, asook Jan en JJ met vinnige balontvangs in die middelveld mag dalk net amok maak teen die Sharks-senters….alles gaan afhang wie die balbesit en veral die bal op die grond gaan beheer.
    Twee spanne feitlik gelyk in alle opsigte, maar ek het die Bulle met 2 punte, hoofsaaklik weens Matfield se teenwoordigheid en die tuisveld voordeel.

    Ek heb gezegd, vroemore al!!!!

  • 303

    good night all lekker rugga gewees

  • 304

    @ Ben:
    ja flip jy kan keegan daniel in n lodge inbook elke jaar en hom net so twee weke voor die bulls game gaan haal en hy sal motm wees

  • 305

    Thats why I love my countrymen….I consider it an honour to be called Oom.

  • 306

    Give the Bulls a Bells…

    Hehehe – I loved it…

    Hard luck Sharkies…

  • 307

    I just love Nick Mallet, Naas being taught a lesson or two

  • 308

    Ek wens net Ludeke wil tog besef JJE is nie ‘n buitesenter nie, sy verdediding is nie reg nie en hy laat loop nie. Moet uitskuif vleuel toe en WS Smith is die ideale 13 senter.

  • 309

    ek dink dis NAG op news24 nou

  • 310

    Congratulations Bulls on a tough hard fought and deserved win…

    Enjoy… all their fans… give yourselves a Bells…!

    Tough luck Sharks and their fans…

  • 311

    all hometeam wins today…?

  • 312

    @ ufo:
    …and so say all of us…

    The Bulls are jolly good fellas…

  • 313

    Klink nie of Mallet baie liefde het vir White nie, en ook nie beindruk is deur hul wedstrydplan nie.

  • 314

    @ Ben:
    …daar is baie wat die selfde voel…

  • 315

    @ Ben:
    want hulle wedstrydplan was kak.

    ek voel vir horwell van die reds. stuart berry moet asb weg bly van bulls games

    OK, who shined and who sucked on both sides?

    Bulls:
    Bulls 1st half front row did their thing!
    Paul Willemse and Matfield ruled supreme.
    Stegmann was the best opensider of the day.
    Jacques du Plessis keeps growing and growing.
    Dewald Potgieter was solid as a rock.
    Hougie was much better and is fast regaining form.
    Jacques-Louis Potgieter is our flyhalf, finished and klaar… solid game from him. Thanks JLP!
    Jan Serfontein was solid but not spectacular.
    JJ Egelbrecht was a bit on and off
    Bjorn was solid and good on attack
    Sampie Mastriet had a good one… could become quite good.
    Jurgen Visser… solid but also a few dumb things… better than usual though.

    The subs disturbed the rhythm a bit…

    Sharks:
    Doc Janie was kak, Beast was kept quiet, Bismarch was good but not spectacular.
    The Sharks locks were mastered by the Bulls locks.
    Marcell Coetzee was solid but Stegmann had his number today
    Willem Alberts was a bit quiet and they tackled him well
    Kanko had some good and really ordinary moments
    Reinach and McLeod were bossed today
    Swiel was not in JLP’s class… not bad, but just OK
    Frans Steyn was great, he has regained his old form… specially with the boot
    Who was the Sharks outside centre… oh, Sithole… too quiet
    Lwazi Mvovo was solid but was kept at bay
    JP Pietersen was a bit too quiet for me… but well done on your TON, JP!
    SP Marais tried hard, but he was kept quiet.

    The subs almost pulled it out of the fire for the Sharks!

    Two very evenly matched sides today…

    312 @ Gumboots:

    hey gummie… how you doing bud…

    yeah… saw your comment after posting mine… LOL…

    good win for the bulls… but as bissie said… not a train smash for the sharks either…

    at least both their supporters get the bells…

    we just get dished up gripe-water…!! LOL…

  • 318

    I just loved the Bulls attitude this evening. They did the unexpected and it got to the Sharks…

    White was quite vocal before the game right…

  • 319

    Mallet showing what a misirable skelm etter cheat Berry really is
    Another hollow cheated victory for the Lions

  • 320

    @ ufo:
    Hey buddy… it was a great game indeed… The Bulls deserve all the accolades…

    I won’t even comment on the Stormers…

    Ha ha
    Bakkies will be happy, a SA ref cheating the Anzacs, what he has been dreaming about for years
    But it’s sick to have these cheats blowing every week

    @ ufo:

    I at least enjoyed the company today… Now that is a plus…

  • 326

    Willemse en JDP nog jong seuntjies, maar begin naam maak. Goeie ding om oom Vic daar te hê om hul borshare te gee.
    Dean en Werner het goed geskrum, die reserwes het gesukkel.
