110 – Treehugs, Think Deysel is injured why they took him off.

Should be a penalty on the 1/2 way line as Zane tackled him high.
Puma @121 oh ! Mvovo has done quite well, dont you think.
Bulls 27 / 19
Game over.

PUMA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NEXT YEAR WE ARE MAJOR CONTENDERS AGAIN.
SO HAPPY THOUGHTS
Puma, I thought that Herbst was a tighthead?
Mission accomplished for the Bulls….. and my Bru looking good enough too
Loosehead, I’m gigging at 8loemendal wynhuis tomorrow. Why dont you book a table and try the 8loem sav blanc 2009?
130 – Hugs, Mvovo has played very well. I would have him and JPP on the otherside.
We have done well and not disgraced ourselves. No Bissy, JPP or Kanko and no really good backs. Next year we will be better.
For now Bulls must go on and win this. Good luck to them and Stormers. Going to be a hard one between them.
Bulls winnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Final score Bulls 27 / 19
131 – Thought so too.
We have penty injuries now. So just pleased this season is coming to a end now.
Quail ou Wiese weer Bulls moes baie hard werk ag flokken shame, ons was heeltyd in beheer, gaan help die leeus
Well Done Bulls. Now for Saders next week. Bulls should win that one easy. Then the biggie against the Stormers. Still think Bulls will end up top.
Good luck my bull friends and my stormer friends here.
Hope both are in the final.

SHARKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Gary Botha earns MOTM
All my Shark friends , your game plan sucked, it was totally wrong but then again that is why i was never really worried. How many tries did the Sharks score this year, 16 ? Good try to go for the win though.
Puma you were right there was no hope, even when i tried to talk you up. This was really a sorry year for you, not being able to score 2 tries per match is not on. But thanks you are not a disgrace to SA.
Thanks for a highly entertaining game, Sharks and Bulls. Bulls deserved their win, but Sharks are coming on nicely and will be very tuff to beat at the Tank next weekend.
Well, comisserations my Sharks friends…. it was hard-fought
Just glad the Bulls have managed to increase their Log lead above everybody else.
Super, you feeling ok, boet?
Right ouens, catch ya Monday…
OK, packing up for the After Match Interviews…..
Yeah Fender good, we are in a good position now
Se vir hulle dankie GBS
Frans Ludeke you are the silent assassin in this Bulls side. You can be my lawyer anytime, so calm and collected. HM was right to suggest you for the Bulls job
