@ bean1:16-11 Landers, Time up
May 19th, 2012 at 09:20 SAST
Hard luck Bulls. Still get a bonus point from this game.
May 19th, 2012 at 09:20 SAST
To be fair, the Landers had a wealth of possession… and that’s what won them the game
May 19th, 2012 at 09:20 SAST
@ Just For Kicks:bollocks
May 19th, 2012 at 09:20 SAST
Die Landers het daai pienk truie net een kyk gegee en gese : ‘Fokkit ouens! Ons kan darem nie verloor teen dit nie!’
May 19th, 2012 at 09:21 SAST
well, i went for the highlanders on superbru
but
i still feel gutted … thought the bulls will get there in the end!
May 19th, 2012 at 09:21 SAST
Right, off for a quick bite to eat, see you all on the other side for the next one
May 19th, 2012 at 09:22 SAST
Bulls get 1 Bonus point out of the game… ai man!

Bulle was nie op hul beste nie, maar so ook nie die Landers nie, nog ‘n wedstryd wat deur die 31ste man op die veld bepaal is. Bulle sou kon score met daardie pick en go aan die einde (wat die Landers vir 7 minute lank gedoen het, en Bulle moes hande af hou, maar hy blaas Bulle sommer dadelik).
Darem een bonuspunt, nou vir die Chiefs, moet daar wen om nog nr.1 te wil eindig in SA. Verloor daar, dan sal ons moet speel vir top 6.
May 19th, 2012 at 09:23 SAST
OK…. that was that then… was ALWAYS going to be a difficult one
May 19th, 2012 at 09:24 SAST
@ grootblousmile:.
@228 ‘Zactly, Bulls were ball starved 2nd half.
May 19th, 2012 at 09:24 SAST
Ai, hulle bal beskerming by i Los scrum het hulle die game gekos
May 19th, 2012 at 09:25 SAST
Well done, Ashley! Bulls het my Superbru weer lekker opgeneuk.
May 19th, 2012 at 09:26 SAST
Ok fellas… I’ve put this one behind me… let’s move on.

En dit bly ‘n ewige misterie hoe die refs besluit wanneer genoeg daylight daar is by die losskrums of nie (want daar was nokkol toe daai Lander die bal by Spies gesteel het en oor Spies gelê het), en wie die skrum strafskop kry … gelukkig vir die Stormers blaas Joubert vir hulle vanaand.
