This game for me showed that JLP and JOHN must be used more
Well done Blue Bulls…
Puma good luck to the Sharkies….I have to nip out….!!
LOOK AT the logs we are back in business
242 – Loosehead, I wish he was A SHARK 😀 we could do with him at FH. Think even inside centre. Great player but sitting too much on the bench at the Bulls they should have loaned him to the Sharks
253 – Blue Bird, Thanks.
Which one of the Bulls Freestateers will be MOTM?
255, he would be an excellent poach for the Sharks at 10.
Well done Bulls, result was never in doubt. Imagine the score if you played better in the first half.
Final Score Bulls 51 / 11
Bulls put the half ton over their neighbours!
Loosehead can i officially say to you thank you that you did not over use them, we are enjoying every minute of their play.
You feel better now?
JLP moet senter speel saam WO.
Mametsa moet bly op vleuel
FH moet reserwe skrummie wees in Adams se plek
Danie moet rus, begin met Vic en Flippie, bring vir Bakkies laaste 20 op, volgende week.
Spies lyk nie goed nie, Pedri speel beter.
261, it is a great pleasure!
Yes I do feel better, as if we have contributed to the Bulls recent success!
GBS, gaan jy weer na die post match toe ?
263: Looshead, jou span sal nog BAIE meer help as hul oorsese spanne ook begin wen, my vriend, veral die Blues wat oppad is.
264@ BiDiBiDi – Yes, ons wag nou juis vir die ouens hier bo in die Press Box.
Well done Sharks, well done Bulls!
My gat afgesukkel om in te log gedurende die games,maar konnie, nou gaan ek slaap…
Tjorts almal.
Grats to both the Bulls and the Shjarks….it’s been a good weekend for the SA teams.
