    I’m backing the Bulls here, at home, surely they can’t lose to the Kings?

    Luke walks on water.
    Moftus should be a walk in the Park.

    @ nortierd@1:
    A Loss to the Kings would be just what the doctor ordered. But no, they will win and everything will be awesome in the fairy land of blue bulls management.

    Luke, even the Bulls should klap the Kings.

    @ leon:
    Even if they lose to the Kings, things won’t change overnight.
    They lost away to the same two teams they lost away to in SR, so I’m not sure why it comes as a surprise all of a sudden.
    If the Bulls win today, either the WP or Lions must lose, so they will have 1 win less than those two sides, not quite all doom and gloom yet.

    Loftus is so empty, it’s frightening

  • 12

    Did they manage to get a 100 people at loftus?

    Doesn’t look like it.
    These are the times when the captain thanks the fans by name after the match

    Ludeke teen Luke, baie moeilik, weet nie vir wie en op wie jy moet skree nie.

  • 15

    Even some southern stand suites are shut…never seen that before.

    Frightening isn’t it?
    And, I see WP jerseys, Bok jerseys and then some Bulls jerseys

    Loftus is voller as daar skoolrugby is, maar gaan die bestuur en afrigters die boodskap kry ?

    Back jou boytjies, hulle sal vandag die job doen.

    Both sides out on the field now.

    You say it is an empty Loftus? So I won’t have a problem leaving work later… 😆

  • 21

    Nice of Ludeke to get Bongi match fit for when he moves down to us 😆

    You can’t slip into the stadium though….the camera will pick you up and your face will be plastered all over the big screen

    Bulls win a penalty from the kick off.
    Jantjies sets up the line out

  • 24

    Good line out win and another penalty for offside.
    Kick at goal coming up

  • 25

    Derick Hougaard in studio said he thinks Tony is the best kicker in the Union, he also feels that if he gets fitter and loses a couple of kilos he might go on to higher honors

    Emptier than a slut’s heart, believe me, you should breeze past Eastwood Str…
    I remember the days I had to park at the 224 and walk from there, no parking.

    Kick hit the upright and an error by Watson gives the Bulls a nice attacking scrum 10m from the EP tryline.

  • 28

    Goeie skop deur Jantjes …..

  • 29

    Bulls on attack, but like last week, just can’t get over the tryline.
    Penalty again 5m from the tryline.
    EP will cop a yellow soon, being penalized since the kick off

  • 30

    Jantjies kicks the goal
    Bulls 3-0 EP
