Final Score: Hurricanes 25 / 20 Vodacom Bulls
Sheesh… tough luck Bulls…
Really played a very brave game of rugby… considering losing the two loosies that have made such a difference in Dewaldt and Steggies… and also JLP…
Stuck to their guns with great resilience…
Never nice to lose but they can be proud of how they played today… IMO…
Congrats to the Canes for hanging on…
Errors costing the Bulls, but good game.
Etter maar Piet van Zyl was geld in die water, as mens dink ons het basies Vermaak verruil vir hom.
Piet van Zyl n useless aankopie, weereens maak Ludeke dieselfde fout om Hougies te vervang.
Nou word die bulls truie uitgetrek en die ou wat die truie by die robot verkoop se sales is zero van nou af…
@ Ben:
bulls het n kontrak met vic,hulle kon hom geforce het om saam te gaan…..hulle het nie
@ MacroBull:
Injuries a mayor concern, still a long trip ahead.
Well I had Canes by 3 at least I pick up bru points.
Well done Canes and to our two Cane supporters here Cane and Hurricane welldone to your team.
Also well done Bulls good effort after the long travel and pick up a bonus pont from this gamenot bad at all.
Nouja, that is it… a home win for the Hurricanes who showed massive resolve from the start of the game.
Bulls defence throughout was good… and they almost clawed their way back… but not to be on the day.
Still no away overseas win for a South African side in 2014.
Bloody hell the errors never stop when using this IPad…
Pont = Point..
Bulle se kanse nou daarmee heen om Sharks te vang, sal nou moet speel om top 6 te maak, wat ons weet boggerol beteken.
When I back the Bulls they lose… When I go against them they win… Eish…
Well done Bulls, overall it was a massive fightback, proud of the team.
Bring the HIGHLANDERS
Hey GBS…
The new look of the site is very impressive… Well done bud…!!
(I know a few kinks still to be ironed out… but looking great all the same…)

Unbelievable! No wins so far…but take heart, the Sharks must still tour
@ smallies:
Verkeerd.
Hy is n player/coach en volgens reels mag hy net homegames speel en mag net n awaygame speel as daar n besering in sy posisie is.

No worries, I am sure the bloggers here know by now how to decypher our comments, I don’t even bother to correct mine anymore.
10:24 @ Pietman:
Yeah, touring is freegin difficult in 2014… and the home teams have now won 37 out of 45 games in 2014.
@ Ben:
Well Ben almal het gese ons spannetjie is so kak dat hulle gaan laaste kom, maar elke jaar is hulle kompeteerend, en ons het 2 flanke in die eerste helfte verloor wat die losgemale n mismatch gemaak het… maar tog was ons in die game vir 80minute!

what’s not to like… you’re doing a great job…!!
okay that’s enough gushing for one day…!!
@ smallies:
Presies, BBRU se verkeerde bestuursbesluite wat die Bokke HM se belange bo Bulle se belange stel.
3 Home game wins this weekend, so far… can the trend continue… would be good for the SA sides later today!
The next game is in 10 minutes, Reds vs Force
Come on, just 3 comments to go to drive this bus over 300 comments for the match
The highlight of this game for me was the brilliant try from Pollard. He showed eventually what he can do. Need more of that from him. Probably if backed and given plenty game time if JLP is injured that is, we might see the best coming out of Pollard if he is played every week.

Hey Puma… how you doing bud…? Stress-free weekend for you Sharkies…? 😉
Pietman’s right… don’t sweat the small stuff… this is a rugby blog… not the dead poets society blog…!
We all make errors… and as Pietman says… most people can work out what we’re trying to say… so no need to fret…!
@ Ben:
Ben ek sal nie so baie warri oor Matfield nie, Met Dewald wat seer het en Stegman wat moontlik n ruk uit is sal Victor heel waarskynlik volgende week speel.
Dit is n besluit dat on Home games moet wen so ons moet altyd ons sterkste span beskikbaar he.
Om Matfield te rus is goed, ek wens eintlik spelers soos Jean de Villiers, willie le roux kon ook rus vir hul toe of net spaarsamig gerbruik wees.
