etter nou join vic die game bigtime
Much better dedication by the Bulls in this game.
Still some troubling aspects… but lots better… for now
147: sal Vic oplos as sy tong nie te veel sleep nie, vir kapteinskap. Willemse in Flip se plek.
15 Minutes to go in the match
Will someone tell Owen that the Bulls captain is Van Der Merwe, not De Klerk.
155: mis jy vir Spies vanaand ? 😉
Critical time in the match, the next 8 minutes…
Bulls scrum penalty!!
Booom!

Niemand mis vir Britney, behalwe die Lions.
Potgieter misses left again… was over 50m though
Come on Bulls… give the Lions gas in this scrum too!
Turnover ball for the Bulls… and Hougie with an excellent touchfinder.
hougie het dalk so 2 or 3 swak skoppe gegee. maar nie te sleg gewees nie.
Skew into the lineout again by the Lions!!
Excellent attacking scrumming position inside the Lions 22
Arghhh, Lions scrum penalty, bindng on the arm
8 Minutes to go…
but the bulls miss vermaak big time
Paul Willemse on now…. Victor stays on, Flip off
Bulls scrum penalty… could have gone either way though
Bring Piet op.
Well done Bulls. Solid win
Just one question…..how the F/($ did this team beat the Stormers so easily and by so far.
They don’t even look like a CC team on this performance, more like a Vodacom Cup side
Bulls 25 / 10 Lions
as die bulle nie voor geloop het nie en nie 2 games voor die verloor het nie sou ek se die was een van die verveeligste tweede helftes wat ek in my lewe gekyk het.
G’n wonder die Bulle wen nie, meer as die helfte van die Leeuspan is oud Bulls ….. wat ook gatvol is dat die Bulle so verloor ?
Lions penalty…. less than 5 minutes to play.
Lions have to kick to touch
Who will be mom?
Notice it will rain everyday in Pretoria next week so might suit the Bulls against the Blues. Though the kiwis are used to the rain I think.
@ Ben:
hahaha
Almost a Lions try… was short and lost forward by Dreyer
@ Puma:
I think potgieter will be
Just more than 3 minutes left in the match… guess the bulls are safe.
Charge-down try, Willie Wepener
So far so good!
Got the Cheetahs, the Bulls and the Stormers (albeit not the margin) games
this game will signal the start of the Lions’ slide; next game it will be Alton Jantjies and from there it’s only a down hill road to relegation 🙁
