Blue Bulls (26) 43 / Leopards (10) 38 (Final Score)
The Blue Bulls hosted the Leopards at Loftus, Pretoria at 19:10 on Friday night 6 August 2010. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Bulls won by a measly 5 points and was hugely fragile on defence tonight…. they will have to change a few gears if they do not want WP to knock them for a big six next week!
The Bulls scored 6 tries to the Leopards 5 tries and managed to gather their bonus point win, but they wee patchy, to say the least.
Not good enough Bulls!

of coarse…us with the lower winning margins will do better 🙂
@ grootblousmile: game over?…dammit
@ bos_otter:119 – Bos, What is your pick for this game?
@ Puma: bulls by 15
Well I never ever thought Bulls would only win by 5. Though I have the win but I am WAY OUT. LOL
@ bos_otter:124 – So you better than me Bos, I had 18. In our pool think the lowest was by 7 then me at 18. So maybe might not do that bad there.. 😯 result… 😀
@ Puma:
Puma….I think 90% of people will be way out on this one…Well done Leopards….certainly exposed a lot of weak spots in the BB defence 🙂
@ Puma:Puma….you also in Superbuls pool?
Shocking….
@ bos_otter: ignore that…just saw you there
@ bos_otter: I’m a superbru virgin….I will get there 🙂
I was right about 1 thing in my Preview summation…. Walter Venter and Michael Bondesio did trouble the Bulls….
@ bos_otter:128 – Bos, Yes always play in Super’s pool that is RT’s pool. Then Tripples pool and normally in Snoeks pool too. Forgot join Snoeks pool but think I may lose bonus points now. Not too sure. Also in Blouste’s pool which is keo’s pool.
@ grootblousmile: rofl..happens to the best of us 🙂 or did you mean the rugby? Sorry bru, my innigste meedelye 🙂
I was also right that our centres and Moses at the back is a huge problem….
@ grootblousmile:129 – Gbs, Bulls were but a win is a win. Just cost me points on my bru though.
@ Puma:so many pools…I suppose the RT one applies to us all, which makes it the important one hey ? 🙂
Going to check the bru pools. Back in 5min.
@ bos_otter:137 – Bos, Yip that is the one the counts the most for me is RT’s pool. As I blog here the most.. LOL. Back in 5min.

“Despite having more than 65 percent possession in the second half, the Blue Bulls lost the half 28-13 as their defence crumbled under the Leopard counter attacks and they were very lucky indeed to get out of the stadium with a victory on the night.”
