Players out….
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Lions!
Sorry… I was a bit late in getting this up… thought the match was at 16:30!!
GO BLUE BULLS! Howzit all
Read that Gans is out injured and it looks like they have picked a player in his place who is normally a scrumhalf but has been coming off the bench to play wing. Have to trust the coaches but wonder if it would have been better to put a specialist centre in especially against the well established Lions centre pairing
Hopefully the communication especially on defence will be ok between the centres. May see the loose forwards covering the channel at times, to do this we may see them committing less players to the breakdown on Lions possesion which decreases chance of turnovers
Blue Bulls penalty, well inside their own half… kicked to touch… out near the 22.
Good Bulls continuity… they are 15m out…
Tryyyyy Blue Bulls, Stravino Jacobs!
Good stuff!!
Blue Bulls 5 / 0 Lions
Pleased to see Jacobs playing against Pumas and today, thought he was very good for the U20s and was surprised he wasn’t picked sooner, but then there were other good wings to pick from as well
