@ grootblousmile:
So far?
that’s an interesting statement coming from the Bull’s camp, 1st time since Derrick Hougaard that a 10 knows what to do and when at Loftus
Bulls 5m penalty!
Good call, played the ball after a knock from an offside position
Bulls 19 / 10 Lions
Lions penalty inside the Bulls 22… eish
Mooi Hougaard, gee jy 3 punte pasella daar weg, eish.
Sitter missed, off the upright.
Lemoenetyd
Dankie Marnitz, jou bul ! 😉
Better 1st half by the Bulls compared to the 2 previous weeks.
Well, it’s going better than I expected, but a 9-point lead is not near enough!
lions would have been happy if that kick went over. big miss
Jurgen Visser needs to be replaced, the sooner the better!
Bulls playing downhill in the second half at Loftus… you guys know that North to South on Loftus is downhill, right?
Nou wat nou!
Lyk of die Bulle ook hul eerste 4 punter van die jaar gaan kry
Hulle out lion die lions hier
So far very good for Bulls. Also JLP has been so far Bulls best fh. Pollard should go to fullback and Visser should drop to the bench.
102 @ grootblousmile:
Nope never knew that.
So far everything is according to plan; the Bulls by 14-20,
it’s only Hougaard who keeps the Lions in the game with his slow, triple steps passing and his turnovers.
Good evening all, missed the first half, work, work, work!
2nd Half ON!
105 @ Puma:
Only joking… hehehe
Robbie Kempson, what a chop
Everyone knows Ludeke and the Bulls play their game plan, whether they are 40 points behind or not, they don’t change. They only blame the execution, not the game plan.
So why on earth ask Ludeke at half time, being 9 points ahead, “are you going to change your tactics?”
Robbie, you are the weakest link, goodbye
Aimless fucking kick by Hougaard.

@ Puma:
or even akona should be a good fullback
easy to turn the Bulls wings around
the Lions surprisingly did it only twice so far?
Lions penalty, Frik Kirsten offside at the ruck
Skew into the lineout by the Lions
Ref, as Vic sê dit is skeef dan is dit skeef. 😉
109 @ grootblousmile: thought you were winding us up…
114 @ Hondo:
Are you a Lions supporter, Hondo?
