Try Damian McKenzie, Chiefs!
Chiefs 23 / 12 Bulls
Chiefs penalty inside their own 22… tap and go.
hullo GB. Just started watching this match so missed all of the Bulls first half dominance. All I’m seeing is Chiefs dominance sadly.
Bulls on attack, lose the ball and Chiefs return the favour and back on attack in the Bulls half. I just think the Chiefs are more savvy than the Bulls. More instinctive.
3 Minutes to go…
Try Chiefs!
Atu Moli!
another try Chiefs. No surprise really. They look very threatening. Now they are really starting to dominate and run away with the game. 28 – 12
Chiefs 28 / 12 Bulls
Bulls lineout, inside the Chiefs 22.
Chiefs on a bonus point at the moment…
Bulls penalty… and advanced 10m more…
Bulls 5m penalty… time is already up on the clock.
we can wring our hands in frustration but it has to be acknowledged, the Chiefs are a very good team and sadly way superior to the Bulls on both paper and the park. This is also a young relatively inexperienced Bulls side, with a new management team. Did we really expect a different result? Not.
Chiefs penalty… they will hack it out to end the game!
what say you GB?

Sadly, the Bulls are just not good enough… not a lot more to say!
See you in a little while for the next game….
nice interview Adriaan. Quality bloke.
I don’t expect to see a different result when the Stormers go on tour to the little islands. The Kiwi sides are all quality and the chiefs are consistently one of the best.
Ahh no that’s disappointing to see the result after the halftime score. Reading the comments it seems like we made lots of handling errors which would have made it hard to build momentum in periods we were doing well. In the end guess the Chiefs just stayed calm and patient and took their chances. At 4 tries to none I suppose the score is flattering

Well, for what it’s worth, I thought the Smurfs played pretty well.
Just lacked penetration in the mid-field.
Wings looked very good.
Forwards as good as ever.
Bully Boys………………………………… do not be despondent. better times lie ahead.
The only difference between the Two Teams was the class of Stevenson’s solo effort try,
and the pace and timing of McKenzie.
Bad luck Bulls.
Did not expect a win, but I really think that the biggest problem is between the ears.
@ cane:
@112 Hi cane thanks for that, didn’t watch but your summary makes it sound way closer than the score suggests. Unfortunately no log points for us Bulls is the net result. Hopefully we’ll get better quickly.
