Scarlets 17 / 6 Lions
Forward pass by Connaught…
22m Drop out by Connaught…
No, it is a goal line drop out…
Connaught penalty, 10m from their own line…
Tapped and hacked out…
Halftime
Bulls getting over the advantage line nicely, meter by meter… but critical errors in finishing preventing them from scoring in the 1st half.
So, I think the Bulls forwards have clearly been stronger, but the defence of the Bulls have given Connaught far to many opportunities.
The Northern sides defence overall is at a standard the SA sides have not experienced, that much is clear.
Scarlets 20 / 6 Lions (Halftime)
The Bulls have to learn to convert their opportunities much better…
Looks like the Scarlets are all over the Lions…
Yeah, this new Competition is good for the SA sides, I think… for far too long we were used to the Super Rugby sides and what they presented.
2nd Half ON!
Fumble by Zak Burger… ai toggie!
Bulls steal a vital ground ball… on defence.
Connaught penalty, 5m out… almost in front.
Will be a tap and go…
Offside advantage…
Try Tom Daly, Connaught.
Connaught 17 / 7 Bulls
Excellent clearance by Connaught.
Try Connaught, Mack Hansen…
Will be No Try… obstruction.
Was it deliberate??
Eish, the try stands…
Connaught 22 / 7 Bulls
Reset Connaught scrum.
Connaught threatening every time their backline gets going, exposing space out wide.
Flip… the Bulls are regressing at a massive pace…
Connaught penalty, against Bismarck du Plessis… kicked to the corner.
Bulls penalty, 5m from their own line…
Bulls lineout Free Kick… closing the gap.
Another Connaught penalty kicked into the corner.
