Rebels have the ball… penalty Rebels
Halfway…
Time is up, Bulls lineout….
Come on Bulls!
Winnnnnnnn!
Squeeky win… but mission accomplished!
Sjoe, that was too close against the Rabble!
What a game !!!
Well done Rebels,and mission off to a good start Bulls.
Cheers RT’s, ek gaan nou wyn soek, sien julle later.
Well done Bulls. A win is a win and with 5 points too.
Really though if Bulls defence is like that against Chiefs and Landers they will lose big time. Bulls should put the Tahs way next week, then I thought this would have been a easy game for Bulls and it turned out it went to the wire and should never have done.
188 @ Pietman:
Cheers Pieta…. man nou is my mond droog!

A Welshman captaining the Webels.
Only 6 point win…. ai man.. I wanted a 60 point win
193@ grootblousmile:
And so it should be….hehe. Now you know what it feels to be a Shark Supporter. Been through those close games almost all season this year with the Sharks. AT least your team came away with a win and 5 points. So well done.
Okay now out of here.
Go Sharks for tomorrow… 🙂
196 @ Puma:
Bulls attack was good… Morné was faultless with the boot and his general play was top-drawer.
Bulls defence needs some work!
Nice to see the Bulls on top of the Combined Log for now… and they WILL be top of the SA conference after this weekend….
Morné Steyn now past Johan Goosen as Super Rugby points scorer in this year’s Super Rugby comp
124 @ Pietman,
Yes that happened in Marloth Park, near Komatipoort. It’s aholiday village/conservancy. Believe it’s calmed down alot, my sister stays there.
Eish! all of a sudden I feel better about Sias’ and the Cheetahs choke lol.
@ grootblousmile:
Geluk! Jy is verby Tapper, en is ek op beide julle se gatte.
Durban Bulle still at No 1 on Bru, Jan Die Vuurvreter up 2 and now in 2nd spot, pushing Kwagga to 3rd, Bully (Bullscot) up 2 into 4th, me in 5th spot.
199 @ GBS,
Ook maar net omdat Goosen in die siekeboeg is, anders souk Steyntjie die agterste tiet moes suig! Nou ja, een se dood is die ander se brood.
202 @ Pietman:
Ja, Tapper (Weti) het vir lank ‘n goeie run gehad.
Sien jy kruip so nader, weer
@ Cheetah4eva:
I watched the replay the other night, forget about Sias….how the faaark did the Cheetahs lose that one?
Aaaah, of course, they played for 60 minutes only and the other team went flat out for 85 minutes!
Kan maar net my kop skud, ai toggie…
204 @ Cheetah4eva:
Dis nie Morné se skuld Goosen se skouers is swak nie… hehehe
@ grootblousmile:
Watch my, ek is in kuk mood hierdie naweek ou maat!
The rest of the weekend’s rugby is now a bonus…
If only the Lions could put the Chiefs away, somehow… but it’ll never happen.
Wag, ek het wasgoed om te doen, tjorts boys, laters…
