Gooooooooo Bulls!
Not a bad amount of spectators here tonight, bit scrappy both sides behind the posts, but the main grand stand is reasonably packed, and opposite not too bad.
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Good luck to the Bulls!
May the best team win here.

Commiserations on the loss…
I believe the Cheetahs were in front with 15 minutes to go…. pity!
My Sharks are home already…………heeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. A whole days rest tomorrow.
Just read on Keegans twitter they landed in Joburg 2 hours ago. Well done Plum getting em on the day flight out of Sydney. Gives them a whole rest day tomorrow.
4 @ Puma:
Thanks… hope we do!
5@ grootblousmile: Thanks big guy. Despite what turk says the Cheetahs were always in the game.
I am proud to be a Cheetahs supporter.
8 @ Loosehead:
And so you should be!
4@ grootblousmile:
I would be very surprised if Bulls lost this, they should win with a bonus point. Though a sa derby one never knows.
Bulle !
10 @ Puma:
Derbies are ALWAYS very very tough… anything can and WILL happen!
Het ek reg gehoor, Werner het 1 van 64 wedstryde gemis. Hoe hou hy uit, rus hom ‘n bietjie !
8@ Loosehead:
Well done to your team buddy. Cheetahs were always in it right until the end they were. Pity they rushed Goosen with the conversion otherwise who knows they might have tried for a try at the death instead of having to take the 3 points.
Cheetahs are a very good side this year.
12@ grootblousmile:
For sure. Especially the saffa derbies.
12@ grootblousmile: Bulls by 30.
@ Loosehead:
Don’t twist my words mate. Just because your team lost don’t get angry and lash out unjustified. I always support the CTahs and say they performed well today. They were just outclassed by New Zealand’s best and there is no shame in that!
15 @ Puma:
Come on Oompie, support the Bulls for your friend, GBS’s sake!
14@ Puma: Thanks man. It was a great game.
Yup, Bulls should take this one with the bonus points as well, but, we’ve seen stranger things happen before…..
Bulls out on the pitch amongst thunderous applause!
Hope we see a ref that wont steal the show.
The cheerleaders look like clowns
Lions out under a bigger thunder…. just bigger!
Go VRYSTAAAT!!!!….emm….oh my flok….we just lost…..barely!!!….Go Pienk waxed nuts!!! You guys…..emmm…..swing!!!
Game ON!
17@ The_Young_Turk: Kak man, the Cheetahs were always in the game. A team is outclassed when beaten by like 30 points, like the Lions areabout to be. Get over yourself.
Come on Bulls! Get the 5 points and get the slaughter over as soon as possible.
18@ grootblousmile:
Truth now, did you support my Sharks yesterday morning? ….
It is a dery boeta, for me I don’t pick sides against two saffa teams. BUT I will ALWAYS support our saffa teams against the overseas teams. ALWAYS.
Lions going to get a propper lesson in Big boys rugby today.
Lions showing a bit of early intent here
