Gaan n moeilike game wees om te kyk vir ons bul supporters, maar niks is fout met bietjie gees vang voor die game nie!
Speel hard!
Goooooooooo Blue Bulls!
Weepee djou lekka ding…
Bulle, wen hom met 14 man ! 😆
Mathew Pearce probably cant wait to commentate to his favorite team
@ MacroBlouBul: but he has to talk nicely with Frans. Otherwise the coach will donner him
@ Tassies:
Im sure he kept it professional 😀
So manne. Wie gaan wen.
I’m not looking forward to scrum-time. Things could get messy for us mountain-goats. Once we get our paws on the pill, different story. But scrums are important as we all know.
Well done Lions!
And good luck to both teams & their supporters!
@ MacroBlouBul: in personal security interests 😆
Tell you what? If we’re fortunate enough to reach the final, I don’t rate our chances against the Lions. Not on today’s performance.
@ Tassies:
scrums are 50/50, anything can happen, ill never have faith in scrums again. 🙄
@ Hondo:
which way?
and why play Pollard at 12? don’t understand that one. Are there no 12’s in the Bulls’ squad? Or is this a sign of a game-plan in action? 10 man rugby kinda plan maybe?
As WP na 15 minute reeds 14-3 voor is, dan is dit verby vir Bulle.
As Bulle se verdediging hou, en die telling is naby na 30 minute, kan dit interessant raak.
Baie gaan ook afhang hoe die Bulle Pollard gaan inspan.
@ Hondo: you remind me of a racist cousin of mine. We’re close family but he’s so blind he’s going to walk into a door one of these days. 😕
@ Tassies:
One of the problems the blue bulls had is that odendaal played there all year so they could not bring in another player, it was either Pollard or Beyers.

18: ja, nog ‘n fout van Ludeke, moes Odendaal geroteer het deur die seisoen met Dries Swanepoel, Beyers, Kriel, Rohan en wie ookal. Binnesenter vat die meeste hits deur die seisoen van die agterspelers, en moet soos met skrummies, heelwat geroteer word.
@ MacroBlouBul: we’ll see. I don’t think the scrums are going to be even today. I have a little feeling that we are going to see a split backline and maybe Pollard used as first receiver more than one would usually expect. Just a feeling. He’s the gamebreaker in this one I sense.
Let the games begin…
@ Tassies:
I hate to say it… but the way I feel about scrums sometimes is that it depends who has the ref on their side for the most part.
@ Tassies:
Is he stupid as well?
😆
@ MacroBlouBul: well its going to be hellava interesting to see how Pollard has been instructed to play. Were it me; I’d have played him at 10. Period. Then I’d back the Bulls to win. And I was born in Newlands.
Fark me, Rob Kempson and Shimange as well
May as well have Robbie Fleck and Matthew Proudfoot commentating…
Fortunately WP supporters never blame the ref… 😉
Afrikaans it is
Whatever the players do, just don’t call Pro a p..s
@ gunther: on face value…….No. But sometimes……….one wonders
Komaan Flou Nulle … tyd om uit te haal en te wys.
