Yeah… well done Force… Tough luck Bulls…
SA rugby is in its moer.
272 @ kaksioek:
Terribly so!
What a poor game.
Think it’s better not watching this afternoon’s game, because if one SA side at a time was so poor poor this weekend, imagine getting a double dose at one time
268 @ Ben: skuus, teen die Cheetahs met 30 punte verloor asb. Korttermyn plannetjies gaan nie help nie, al die ondersteuners moet nou help dat Bulle bestuur en afrigters moet bedank.
Bulle direkteur van rugby: enige een van Naas, Brendan of Francois Pienaar.
Vic kan die span afrig en speel, bring vir Stonehouse in so ook FDP as agterlyn afrigter.
Operasie skoonmaak !
thank god we return to home town refs
Sorry lost the internet again.
Hard luck Bull. Getting a bonus oint in each game is still fine at least Bulls come away from tour with 4 bonus points.
Cheers everyone. Try catch up later.
I agree with campo… we talk a lot about the lack of offloading in the tackle… yet who is there to offload to? no one

Won’t happen, vergeet maar!
Skryf dit op jou magie en vee dit met jou hempie af.
Daar is nie ‘n manier dat hulle Ludeke sal fire nie.
O ja… en flok Francois Pienaar, hy is ‘n moepel!
Se so pas vir die seun innie Kaap, dis darem maar sleg as man in die buiteland sit en heelweek uitsien na die naweek se SA rugby….en dan gaan dit SO….maak dat ek sommer hier bly van befokgeit

@ Ben:
Facebook petition? haha
OK, I have some rock-art to go paint… chat later
Bulle 10de op log, nog 3 spanne wat hul kan verbyvat. Bulle sterk oppad om met Cheetahs en Stormers te baklei vir houtlepel. Bulle oppad na 1998-2003 jare in superrugby, tragies.
@ Ben:
Ja, ons spot met Sharks en Stormers maar Bulle is net so verbog…

Nortried,
Look at the bright side; the Bulls and the Sharks both lost while the Stormers will win this evening, granted!
🙂
Ons praat later…
@Hondo
Hoping the Stormers will win

Ons kan dit vat
Spanne wat die beste tans lyk is Brumbies, Canes, Saders met Chiefs, Sharks en Tahs wat effens dip gevang het.
Dink hierdie 6 spanne gaan top 6 haal.
Of the bottom 6 sides on the log the strongest conference has 4 teams keeping each other company.
Someone needs to tell the saffa sides S15 is not a cross country run where least points wins!!
@ Wallabie:
3 Australian sides in contention for Finals spots.
Ponies, Tahs,……………. and………………………………………………. surprise surprise,……………………. the Farce.
😉
kyk my ou vrugtesappie hier bo, eertse keer ooit dat jul konferensie iets beteken en nou is boet se ballas vol.
Vat ‘n roomys in die een hand en n camcorder in die ander handjie. Mik mooi en moer dit teen jou voorkopp terwyl jy afneem met die ander een, multitasking mag jou pootjie, vra jy niggie om haar klere aan te trek en te help.
Dan post jy dit mooi vir ons op wee wee wee punt kangarooklitkoppe dot com
@ Wallabie:
You should tell em, Aussies should know better than anyone what it is like.
Force grind out wet win against Bulls
The Force triumphed in the washout in Perth to get back to winning ways thanks to five Sias Ebersohn penalties in a 15-9 victory.
One to forget in Perth, except for fans of the Force, the upstart side from Western Australia returned to winning ways after their loss last week to the Rebels brought an impressive streak to an end.
Heavy rain did the fans and players at niB Stadium no favours as a kicking war for territory ensued, with tries always appearing unlikely.
As a result Sias Ebersohn and Jacques-Louis Potgieter, later on Handré Pollard, battled it out off the kicking tee.
This has been a miserable tour for the Bulls and it ended appropriately, despite the lineout work of Victor Matfield and a punishing scrum.

Sensing the fixture was slipping away from them the Bulls turned up the gas and managed to produce a series of attacks close to the Force line, but each time their final attempts at adding points were foiled.
A promising break from Akona Ndungane should have ended with a try with space out infront of him down the touchline, but he opted to look inside. By the time the Bulls had made it to just inches short of their hosts’ line, Jacques du Plessis was called out illegally clearing out a man at the ruck. It summaries their frustration nicely.
Handré Pollard added a spark with his introduction in the second half and a penalty to launch his team into losing bonus point territory at 15-9.
The Bulls had their chances for the win after Dane Haylett-Petty knocked on inside his 22, but again the Force found a way out of trouble.
They came back again attacking five metres out from the Force line with only three minutes left, but again the Force held firm to win a penalty at the breakdown. It was enough to secure victory and help them climb up to 4th in the table.
