Well done Bulls!
Final Score: Vodacom Bulls 25 / 17 Lions
Belangrike wen vir Bulle, maar nog baie dinge om te verbeter, veral lostrio en heelagter.
well done bulls! “goeie” wen
we still look seriously off the pace, but im very happy with the win and we kept the lions away from the bonus point.
No bonus point on either side. Pity Boshoff missed one at goals otherwise Lions would have picked up a bonus point.
Well, for once I’m glad my Bru pick was wrong on this one… hehehe
Well done Bulls f.
192 @ grootblousmile:
I got all my picks right today except the margins were all out.
A late try killed my margins, that happened though
The Bulls should bench Hougaard, they will hold their owns at home for sure then.
194 @ Puma:
I will fall on Bru after this result… but what the heck!
Flip seems to be a good oke!
At least the Bulls lifted themselves up from the bottom of the Log…. phweeew!
GBS spits and chokes on his Jeripigo.
JLP deserved mom. Played well.
199 @ Loosehead:
Hehehe
I am a happier man tonight!
Good superbru weekend for me, damn crusaders made me miss the gsp
195 @ Hondo:
Agree Hougie not the best and again not great today. Should start with Van Zyl no matter what Naas is saying right now.
Still a number of areas to work on for the Bulls.
Hooker was still anonymous… got his lineout throws better though.
Openside flank is a biggggggggg problem.
Even though Hougie was better, still not good enough.
Jurgen Visser at fullback is just not working, not at all!
Okay out of here now.
Cheers everyone.

Well done Bulls!
But tell your okes to level the playing field please GBS, that “downhill slope from north to south” obviously sapped the Lions’ energy in the second half.
207 @ BrumbiesBoy:
Hahaha
It’s actually the other way which is downhill….

Both hookers are shit.
I don’t see why you guys hate Ross, he isn’t an openside, but he isn’t a bad player. Who else have you got?
Play the Freestater.
Play Hougie at 15.
20: spot on.
Ons skrums en lynstane lyk goed ongeag die haker wat so-so is.
Dink ook nog JJE moet vleuel toe, met WS Smith op buite senter.
