So skeef soos die haarkapper self?
Bulls again butcher an opportunity, good break by Ndungane, but from there each ball carries got white line fever.
Similar problem their U/21’s had in the earlier game
Watson feeling queasy, off for now
Ja wat, daar gaan Luke, klaar vir die jaar…
Excellent defensive scrum from the Kings, tighthead on their tryline, the new nr 8 is making a difference?

Over this time
Bulls 11-5 EP
Leeus het 60 punte opgesit teen Kings in EP, so die Bulle moet 80 opsit op hul tuisveld dan sal dit lyk na ‘n verbetering. Enigiets onder dit is ‘n mislukking vir Ludeke.
Wales U/18 win 10-9 against France
@ nortierd:
Thanks nortierd for those scores hopefully the young Bokkies will do well in their game. Hope us Blue Bulls get a good win too, am just about in hardware store got one of those”maybe you would like to” requests/instructions and the grass must get cut sometime too
EP with a good attack, forward pass against them, very close call
Not forward ref!
In England the Crown can do no wrong
In Pretoria the Bulls can do no wrong
per Pro
@ Bullscot:
Only 2 reasons for visiting a hardware store, you have some work to do at home, or you are shopping for a 50 Shades of Grey party for later 😀
EP set up an attacking line out
And they lose the line out with a poor throw
Bulls lack cohesion and conviction with ball in hand.
It’s almost as if they pass because they don’t know what to do with the ball, but neither does the receiver of the ball
EP on the other hand look good with ball in hand
EP wins a penalty smack bang in front.
Good phases of play from them
Hierdie ref boor die Kings, seker omgekoop deur van Graan.
Volgende game is ‘n voorskou vir die CB finaal, hierdie game is ‘n voorskou vir wie die houtlepel gaan kry aan die einde van die seisoen.
Moeilik om te besluit wie is die swakste, maar altwee spanne veg verbete vir die houtlepel.
Bulls 11-8 EP
Bongi with a great run, Du Plessis couldn’t get the final pass away, another Bull try goes abegging
En die 50000000 ste knock van die kak Bulle hierdie seisoen voor die doellyn.
Attacking line out for EP, last play of the 1st half, can the draw level or take the lead?
Nope, line out lost again
Go Kings, soek ‘n drie voor halftyd.
