Come Bulls, scrum them silly!
33

Bulls lineout, deep inside the Landers 22.
34

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 5:55 pm

Bulls maul…
35

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 5:56 pm

Landers clearly offside… negative play…

Popped out, 5m out.

Landers defence has been flippen solid… Bulls throwing everything at it.
39

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:01 pm

Well, the Bulls forwards have had the Landers’ number in most facets of play.

Bulls must not allow the Landers back 3 to get going though, so if you kick, kick out or into clear space…

2nd Half ON!
41

Bullscot on 28 April 2018 at 6:10 pm

How is Jenkins getting on at flank instead of usual spot of lock?
42

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:12 pm

Landers penalty… posts it is.
43

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:12 pm

One cannot allow the Landers to counter, they WILL slaughter you…
47

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:17 pm

Bulls penalty… but the Landers were very dangerous again.
48

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:19 pm

Landers penalty, inside their 10m line…
49

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:20 pm

Landers penalty again… taking the No 9 out.
50

Bullscot on 28 April 2018 at 6:20 pm

Ag no, come on BULLS!
51

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:22 pm

And yet another Landers penalty… 1m inside the Bulls 10m line.
52

Bulls 14 / 23 Highlanders
53

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:24 pm

Bulls penalty…

Was almost a Landers intercept try…
54

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:26 pm

Bulls throwing far too many intercept passes in a desperate attempt to get the ball wide.
55

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:29 pm

Try Jason Jenkins, Bulls!
56

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:31 pm

Bulls 21 / 23 Highlanders
57

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:33 pm

Landers penalty… eish

Kickable… shot.
58

grootblousmile on 28 April 2018 at 6:34 pm

Very, very dubious penalty, nothing wrong there.
