If you defend well against EP, they will do and score nothing… and the opportunity is there to run them ragged and dominate them in all the set pieces…
Some EP players are impressive though, individually… Innocent Radebe at flyhalf, Anele Lungisa at blindside flank and CJ Velleman as fetcher flank.
The rest of the EP team won’t make the 1st 15 of any of the other sides in this tournament.
Like any 2nd rate side, EP can give a semblance of resistance in the first 20 minutes… then they will be found out and dominated all over.
WJ Steemkamp of th Bulls pass out to touch.
EP penalty, Stravino Jacobs playing the ball on the ground…
Bulls penalty, man on his feet over the ball.
EP not even competing on Bulls lineout ball…
Try Stravino Jacobs, Bulls!
Bulls 45 / 3 EP

Bulls penalty, lazy runner… quick tap..
Try Tim Agaba!

Another try Bulls… Stravino Jacobs again!
Bulls 59 / 3 EP
Bulls almost encountering no resistance now…
EP penalty, dangerous tackle.
Little bit of good play by EP, sparked by Radebe again… changing the attack to the blind side.

Knock by Innocent Radebe.
Bulls defence well organised.
EP penalty, man over the ball.. on about halfway.
Bad knock by the EP right wing, who came in on midfield…
Commentators making lots of excuses for the EP… saying they had limited prep. etc.
