Tahs lineout on the Bulls 5m line
Defend Bulletjies!
Bulls steal the lineout and Morné Steyn with a great touchfinder… quick throw-in by the Tahs
Bulls with lots of ball unable to score a try. Why?
In contrast the Thas with lots less ball looking dangerous every time they run with the ball. Why?
Of fark, Tahs scrum penalty… Werner Kruger dropped his bind.
On the Bulls 10m line
Missed by McKibbin
Bulle, julle laat hierdie game gly, wakker word.

Another penalty after a long spell of sterile running with the ball.

Baie goeie game, wie ookal wen.
Tahs baie gelukkig met al die balle wat so lekker in hul hande hop,
Come on Bulls…. now’s the time to pick up the pace, the altitude must be starting to tell now….
Attacking Bulls scrum, inside the Tahs 22
Home at last , let me try and save my team
To answer my question at 64.
Bulls can’t penetrate and score tries because of two reasons:
1. They play too far behind the advantage line because Steyn is sitting to deep.
2. They are losing the battle at the breakdown because of no1. With Steyn sitting deep the bulls rely on No9 and the loose hanging forwards to take the ball over the d-line. Tahs are waiting for the in numbers around the fringes; they rush-up and tackle the bulls back.
Bulls are going to loose here unless they start dominating at the tackle ball. They need to play flatter on he d-line and shift the ball a bit on the d-line with angle runners attacking space. Mix it up a bit so that they are less predictable.
kom bulle vreet daai bandits
Tryyyyyyyyyyyyy Hougaard!
Whoop!
Bulls 22 / 19 Waratahs
Try by Steyn but it’s all passion no intelligence.
