88 – Loosehead 😆
1 point in it.
Morning Puma.
Loosehead
your team had me worried the whole bloody game, you lost it when your team switched of the light with Spies on his way under the posts.
If the Cheetahs did not live for this game only there will be a lot of joy for you further. Go now , go Cheetahs.
Mmmmmm, Saders 18 / Landers 17
93: more Loosehead, wat het in die skrums gebeur gisteraand ?
93@ LoskopSoutie – Hellooooooooo Vrystaater
Was a bloody good game last night and the Bulls scrums impressed me
Try Zack Gilford, for Saders
94: sou graag by Spies wou hoor wat was die kanse vir ‘n drie toe hy daar weggebreek het ?
Jeepers 18/17 to Saders. Only one point between them.
Phew!!!!!!! Saders get a try. Only pleased for that for my bru picks..hehe
98 – GBS, have only watched this game for about 10min. How many tries does Saders have?
Saders 25 / 17
superBul,
If we can play all our games with the attitude that we save for the Bulls there will be more wins than losses for the Cheetahs. Thanks!
bdb,
The Cheetahs believed the the stories about how good their scrum is and how kak the Bulls scrum is. The Bulls just did their job.
Well done Bulls! If I had the money I would buy you all a BMW 530d!:lol:
101@ Puma – They now have 3 tries…. it’s up on the thread above
Morning Webmonster! At the airport waiting to fly back to Slaapstad. Pity that my wife never realised that there was a game in Gauteng this afternoon, I could have gone to Ellis Park to watch the Stompies / Lions game.
25-17
I’m happy with the score as it stands now… maybe still one more penalty for Saders… not a try though, please
103: met horings en ghoene asb. 😉
Stem saam, Ctahs so speel gaan hul meeste van al die ander spanne goed wen. Smith, albei vleuels was baie goed.
103
Saddly Os du Rand also believed it. If you look at his reaction in the coaches box.
No the problem is they hang this story on the big clock and that was used against them by the Bulls
Come on Carter, go for posts…. get it over too!
Fark, so he goes for touch
Damn, bonus try Saders…. flok man!
AAAAGH shit, that steals a bonus point in SBru
Damn Landers allowing Saders to get the 4th try and bonus point.
A few calls went to the Crusaders, will watch the comments about this game later. But both these teams would have been beaten by the Bulls and the Cheetahs

superBul, bdb: I hope that the young Cheetahs front row and the wise heads don’t forget this lesson.
It was good to see Gurthro actually scrumming against his opponent and not scrumming past him.
Bulls, Saders en Brumbies so ver die spanne wat goed lyk, soos almal voorspel het.
117: Coenie Oosthuizen het vir my baie goed gelyk toe hy opkom, en was ook baie goed met die bal in hand.
118: Ctahs het ook goed gelyk, al het hul verloor teen ‘n goeie span.
118 – BdB think the Brumbies going to get better as the season goes. In their first half yesterday never thought much of them, 2nd half was much better.
Really can not see Brumbies beat Bulls at Loftus. Bulls will beat them next week. Bulls looked good last night.
