Blue Bulls (15) 27 / Sharks (23) 39 (Final Score)
The Vodacom Blue Bulls hosted The Sharks at Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria at 17:05 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the match. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1, SHD & M-Net on TV in SA.
The Blue Bulls denied the Sharks a bonus point win whilst earning a bonus point for tries right on the death. The Sharks were full value for their win though, with exemplary goal kicking compared to the shoddiest of goal kicking by the Blue Bulls.

Shocking
Bulls penalty.. after some good play by them… too little too late…
Brommer duffs the attempt to the line….
Bulls 1m out…. try to CJ Stander
Penalty Bulls, about 20m out… they HAVE to run it
Try Bjorn??
TMO
Try awarded… at least the Bulls get a bonus point for tries
Final Score: The Sharks 39 / 27 Vodacom Blue Bulls
Well, not the result I wanted, but at least my Bru should be OK.
Eish, moeilike tye wat voorlê op Loftus. Die jongspannetjie verskoning tel ook nie, ander spanne soos Leeus, WP en Staat speel ook met jong spanne en speel goeie rugby, so iets fout daar op Loftus, dinge lyk glad nie goed nie, veral as hul met 6 van hul pak speel wat volgende jaar in die S15 moet speel.

Bulle het woes kak pale toe geskop…. daar was 6 skoppe mis pale toe… dit was 16 punte gone….
70: vra asb by die post match vir die Bulle bestuur en afrigtingspan om vir Derick Hougaard weer Loftus toe te bring, jammer, maar daar is tans geen back up vir MS nie. Fouche moet sy selfvertroue en skopskoen eers vind op 0/21 vlak, hy is nog nie reg nie. Brummer nog minder.
71@ ben_die_bul:
Ja, maar meer as dit, dis asof daar nie ‘n hongerte is nie…. behalwe hier heel teen die einde, toe dit te laat was.
Bulls agterlyn was heeltemal te staties en voorspelbaar, Wynand Meisiekind is nie meer ‘n skaduwee van wat hy was nie, Zane kannie pass nie… so tussen losskakel en die 2 senters het vet mooi nokkol gebeur nie!
OK, ek pak op…. sien weer later.
Well I’m delighted with the win….but thanks (not) Bulls for screwing up my Superbru…..fully expected you to win this one. Hows that new Natal winger hey…..the man is a machine.
