@ superBul:
Well thats the problem when you have so much success you just have higher expectations of your team and so any failures seem amplified and harder to take. Sounds like things as bit disrupted behind the scenes at Loftus, my take on things is that there are so many really young players in the Vodacom team that it may take a while again before they are tops, with all the overseas clubs taking players its hard to hold on to experienced ones that maybe aren’t always starting.
GBS jy ken die Bulls site. Jy weet ook van Jimmy daar, as die Bulle verloor haal hy mos stukkies musiek aan, hy ken sy woorde en baie is so van pas , dit weergee sy emosies so goed. Wel hy was gisteraand weer besig daar.

Penalty Force…. hinging at the scrum
O’Connor… it bounces off the post
@ Bullscot:
i think with all the success you forget the maintenance on that “structure that HM build” do they call it complacency(?)
Another Force penalty and Sharpe instructs O’Connor to go for posts again.

Al voordeel met die Force wen is nou is hulle nie meer desperaat en honger nie en die Brumbies bly onder die Bulle. So ons bly 8ste
Final Score: Western Force 27 / 19 Brumbies
