Landers scrum Free Kick, they opt to scrum again.
Bulls scrum, off a Landers knock…
Reset scrum
Bulls 22m drop out…
Fekitoa kicks out directly.
Wet weather with many puddles on the Loftus turf…
Scrappy game in very scrappy field conditions, due to the weather.
Weather conditions rather suit the Bulls, as the Landers can’t play their normal running game
Lemoenetyd
Real miffy, wet, cold weather in Gauteng…
The winter has certainly arrived, but we are also having unseasonal wet weather.
Yesterday we even had a lot of hael…
2nd Half ON!
Field seems even slippier in the 2nd half.. players slipping and sliding all over the place.
Lots of box kicks… lots of errors.
Bulls penalty, offside.
Bulls kick to touch for a lineout on the Landers 22.
Arghhh Steenkamp knocks in the tackle…
Tryyyyyy Warrick Gelant, Bulls!
Bulls 10 / 10 Highlanders
Faddes knocks a high ball… Bulls scrum, 5m from their halfway line.
Bulls gain a lot of ground as a Marty Banks kick is off the side of the boot.
Bulls penalty, no release in the tackle… shot at goal it is for the Bulls… to possibly take the lead.
Missed…
Some subs on now… Lood de Jager for the Bulls, Fletcher Smith for the Landers
Jan Serfontein on for the Bulls as well.
Landers scrum, as the Bulls cannot use maul ball.
Tony Jantjies also on for the Bulls… Bulls really scraping the barrell there with Tony Jantjies, I feel.
Bulls certainly trying hard… and in the wet weather one understands that the chance of it being scrappy is good…
But one also feels that the Bulls should take it a bit better before a freegin knock or some silly error.
Marty Banks with a sublime touchfinder…
Landers penalty, quick tap…
Landers knock
Burger Odendaal with a bad knock-on…
TMO to look at the challenge on Burger Odendaal…. by Naholo
That was a shoulder on Odendaal… no arms… to the face!
Waisake Naholo cops a RED CARD!
Great touchfinder by Tony Jantjies… Bulls attacking lineout, 7m out.
Landers penalty, keeping back from engaging in the maul… and therefore Bulls obstruction.
