    Well done Lions, great game. My MOTM Boshoff. Good to see his form back

  • 302

    Congrats Lions, you outplayed the Bulls, you deserved the win.

    Well, that should be it for the Bulls, no chance into the play-off’s now.

    Geluk Leeus

    Bulle moes toe die Chiefs verloor het vanmore vir VM ingebring het. Arrogansie van ons Coaching staff het ons seisoen beeindig.

    Really sucks losing, but was a good game to lose, well done lions

    fokkers

    @ superBul:
    ons kan nie elke keer matfield inbring nie, hy het 3 toer games gespeel wat ons ook verloor het met hierdie swak spel.

  • 306

    I was hoping for the Bulls in the last number of weeks, knowing that the chances were slim… some results of ours started to go our way and then some of the overseas results started going our way, but it was always going to be a long shot to make the play-off’s.

  • 307

    Tough Luck Bulls, Congrats Lions, wow what a season of upsets?

    Now this is why I am against resting players at this stage, had Matfield played?? this could have been very different, the Bulls had no leader.

  • 308

    elke keer as ons is verloor as matfield nie daar is nie is dit omdat matfield nie gespeel het nie.

    elke keer as ons verloor as matfield speel, het ons nie n beter verskoning nie.

    Die ander spelers is groot genoed, en hulle het nooit gaan le nie, JJ was heeltemal schoking vandag en het ons seker 2 driee gekos

    every time we lose, and Matfield is not there, it is because Matfield didn’t play.

    every time we lose, and Matfield plays, we do not have a better excuse.

    The other players are big enough, and they did not lie down, JJ was completely shoking today and he certainly cost us two tries.

    Our kick off play was also really disappointing

    @ MacroBull:
    gaan lees Jake se boek en leer. Vergeet van Bokke . Kom ou maat jy klink deesdae soos n Bulls veraaier

    En ja ek is suur

    Ek is ook onredelik

    en ek is de bliksem in

    FL kan maar gaan
    ek sal NOOIT OOIT sulke swak incompetency goedpraat nie.

    Niemand gaan ons volgende jaar jammer kry omdat ons die jaar so hard getry het nie

    @ MacroBull:
    I understand what ur saying MB but fact is making the changes at this stage was always going to be one hell of a risk.

  • 312

    It cant all rest on matfields shoulders. If we won the three games on tour he played, sure, its a good excuse, but the other guys should have been able to stand up.

    if you play yourself to the point where your back is against the wall you must fight with all you have got.

    Stem saam Super, Why play SR if you this it is worth nothing? the fame and financial reward is huge as you know from the past.

    Sorry but Bulls shot themselves in the ass here.

    @ Sharks_forever:
    @ superBul:
    Matfield wat nie gespeel het nie het n verskil gemaak sonder enige twyfel, maar die ander ouens was nie goed genoeg nie, ons was op toer net so swak MET matfield daar met sy leadership, n kaptein kan ook net soveel doen.

    Ek praat nie FL goed nie, maar die spelers moet verantwoordelikheid vat.

    @ MacroBull:
    MB of course players should take responsibility, but hell you do know leave your most influencial player in the press box.

  • 321

    @ Sharks_forever:
    Ill give it to you that he should at least have been on the bench, but I dont buy that we would definitely have won with him there.

  • 322

    @ Sharks_forever:
    anyway good luck with your game tjarkie… on the way there now

  • 323

    Emotions and disappointment now over. At the end a team who lost 6 or more games in a season does not deserve a chance to spoil other peoples party. I hate the 6 team playoff

    @ superBul:
    It is disappointing, but we don’t deserve it
