Bulls not looking good early on….
😳 I thought the game was only starting at 08:40
Good cover and kick by Demas….
Lots of Bulls supporters there….
Pedri looking bad!?!?!
What’s it with them and the voortrekker look…..
Bulls def not organised…
The Chiefs get through a half gap every time they take it up….
Good chip by Hougaart…
He is actually thinking and doing alternatives….
I am surprised and impressed…
what is the voortrekker look? is that the beard look?
Have I just seen what I think I have seen…
Was that Olivier!??!??!?!
Stepping 3 people and scoring!??!?!
Yes the BIG beard….
Like the Cronje (?) brothers? ‘Cause that was… scary. They were scary.
Yay for the try.
This game is so boring there is nothing to type about….
LoL yeh they were scary…and both are real big…
Geo Cronje had a big beard too…
Hasn’t Bulls-brand rugby always kind of been, um, boring?
LoL
True yeh…
Half Time:
Chiefs 12 – 10 Bulls
Where teh heck does Sax come from….
Never heard of him as a player…did he ever play rugby???
And what is it with him and the 60’s!?!?!!?!? Or is that the only kool he knows….
Well, the Bulls are going to have to win this one without me as it’s 3:30am and I am tired. Stay cool everyone and good luck.
Kool…
Thanks for the visit…
Wikus is dumb….
He has been guilty for slowing down perpousfully a few times now…
I can likes to be a doffie… why drop-kick it over when you need tries???
Oh my word what type of kick was that from Donald.
Reverse swing on a rygby ball.
As the commentators said for that Drop goal.
“It’s a bit of a so what”
Things go in cycles… and the Bulls are back into being useless…
Just another example that RSA rewards mediocrity… why a coach with a pathetic record gets to coach a S14 champ team… go figure, skin colour aside!
Well it is one that is over….
So I am sure he don’t care how cozz that don’t happen too often…
Demas looking better than Habana has the whole year….
Now it is opening up….
Surely the Bulls have the worst points dif of all the teams already…
De-kakke-mas are you kidding Hmmmm…
Commentators mention that 14 of this bulls team were involved in the S14 final last year. 😯
So is it the coach or is it the lack of wanting to play.
And the Chiefs breaking the line at will…
So I don’t think the Chiefs scoring is done…
Pathetic…
Conversion of masaga’s try is over.
13 – 36 Chiefs.
58min
is this the 60min floodgate busy opening?
bryce…he is playing better than Habana has all year…
It is a close race between Habana, Noble, Odwa as worst wings in the S14…
Worst Centre is tight between Jaco Pretoors, Murray, Bobo….
Donald is kicking better than he ever has….
I am sure he does not want the night to end…LoL
Bulls try
Stegman socres a rolling try!?!?!?
Literally…
Weirdest try I have ever seen…
conversion over.
20 – 36 Chiefs
61min
“Commentators mention that 14 of this bulls team were involved in the S14 final last year. :shock:”
Yeah well the Kiwi’s aren’t the smartest… that can’t be right… no Roets, Gary Botha, Matfield, Jesus, Habana????
Almost all the SA loosies have been good…
And all the scrummies have been good….Oelschlieg the worst…
Hmmm.
The Lions have -68 PD before this game and the Bulls have -60 PD.
After this game the Bulls will be the worst PD
Habana was talking to the commentators…
And he sounded like he was commentating on a horse race….LoL
KSA…
THe Cheetahs have a -85 points dif…
So the Lions have never had the worst…
Odwa runs a long way and scores a try.
And the Lions are going to win with a 5 try bonus point so we will drop into the 50’s if not undedr with a bit of luck…
“bryce…he is playing better than Habana has all year…”
Sorry mate but I have been watching him for yonks during his 7’s career… HE IS HONDKAK!
sorry missed the cheetahs.
Odwa is a Shrark KSA…..
How could you mix them up…they don’t even look the same…
Bryce….I was talking about this game….
And he is not setting the rugby field a light but he us definately better than Habana has been all year….
27 – 36 Chiefs
67min
Both these teams are making sooooooo many errors…
Like watching two Lions sides play against each other….
😆 😆
Akona not Odwa. man i am slow today 😳
Another scrum…
LObberts on it seems….
How good was that kick by leonard while being tackled. 😯
DOF DOF DOF!!!!
Messam try!!!!!
Should i tackle him. 🙄
Conversion over
27 – 43 Chiefs
71min
Very bad defence Bulls….
And then a mistake from teh kickoff…
Bulls not serious…
wynand, champion defender of the world!!!!!
Rossouw doing well in the scrums today….
Was that like his 2nd/3rd steal today already…
I would have said that was Danie’s tackle to make and he actually got a whole arm to the guy and then just let him get through
“Just another example that RSA rewards mediocrity… why a coach with a pathetic record gets to coach a S14 champ team… go figure, skin colour aside”
Bump…
Bulls going for 4th try?!!?
Turn over 93 cm from the tryline…
Chiefs take quickly and kick into Bulls half…
Chiefs looking to put 50 on the board….
whose tackle was that to make?
Muliaina passes to Oliviers mate on the Touch line. 🙄
Bryce…
How many times was Habana not stepped on his outside and scored against this year…
3 times in the game against the Lions….
And then every game thereafter at least once/twice….
Definately the worst def wing on the comp and not much better on attack…
there always seems to be a gap for attackers within 2m of wynand.
Lions only SA team to win!!?!?!?
Steyn stuffs up at the back.
Bulls lucky chiefs transgress on the floor.
ludeke is an awesome coach. i don’t want to hear anyone knocking him.
Demas get’s yellow for deliberate knock down
Demas knoicked the ball UP and he gets a yellow for a deliberate know-down…..
lions deserve a wooden spooning if they lose tonight.
TT
I don’t think we will hear much about Ludeke period.
The Chiefs looking for another try….can you believe it…LoL
all depends which team benjamin plays for tonight.
lions deserve a wooden spooning if they lose tonight.
22.03.08 10:15:21 – try time Edit
I’m afraid they will deserve the wooden spoon then. 😉
Game over…
Hmmmm fair enough… but you are judging Habs on less than 120minutes game time… Demas is kak… simple!
Mangweni should be 11, 15 or anything…
If RSA wasn’t so racist HM should have been the next coach… and PDV should have been given the Bulls franchise!
Anyways… that was embaressing… off to cook the octopus on the charcoal… see ya laters!
If the Lions loose I will go and address them personally at their next team meeting!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!???!??!?!!??!?!?!??!!?!?!??!?!????
Game over
Log updated
Chiefs go 9th
Bulls go 11th
a team full of world cup boks, looks so average. anyone wondering what value a coach adds to a team should look at the 3 bottom feeding sa teams.
Habana had a lot more than 120 min of play…
And the Bulls actually had an 11 on here…
LIONS are going to end with 45 points at the end of the season…
Bulls -76
Cheatahs -82
And we not even halfway…
That is 45 log points by the way….LoL
45 points scored out of 13 games. thats about 3.5 points a game. well they are on target, the 8 points against the sharks was bonus day.
Cheetahs, Bulls and Lions to win this weekend… NO I am not already on the piss
20.03.08 20:42:47 – JT Edit
Still got a chance of getting 2 out of 3.
21.03.08 17:32:28 – KSA Shark © Edit
************************************
well I did not consider the Walsh factor
21.03.08 17:43:14 – JT Edit
*********************************
Have you considered the Ludeke factor?
21.03.08 18:55:58 – KSA Shark © Edit
It seems not JT. 😉
Hey 1/3 is still possible 😉
Log points tt…
Log points…
Nooooo
1/3 a definate for him….
LoL
I have a 5/5 on SB thus far!?!?!?!?
And a good few within 5 points dif…
So when they ever update the SB scores I am surely going to look good this weekend…
Well guys I am off to go play some touchies…
So see you here for teh LIONS game again…
i wish my wife would let me play touchies.
Man I am pretty damn chuffed.
2nd on the log and a game in hand.
I was expecting some movement down the log this week.
Oh and a little MORE chuffed coz the boys from Maranello have locked out the front row in Malaysia. 😎
ksa only worry is we are now two wins points behind crusaders and only have one game in hand.
hehehehe
Yes but once we are on level terms with matches played then our match against them will determine who goes top………. well that is the plan anyway 😉
