Lemoenetyd!
The Blue Bulls have been monsterous and extremely clinical in the 1st half… a team performance!!
Cannot see WP coming back to win from a 26-point deficit…
It’s not as if WP are playing badly at all… it is just that the Blue Bulls had a purple-patch 1st half…
Blue Bulls option-taking has been spot-on…
2nd Half ON!
