Go Buullllleeeeeee!!!!!!!! 😈 😈 😈
@Silver Fox (Comment 1) : you mean “Go Griquas”, right?
@robdylan (Comment 2) : Only if you threaten to censor my sincere contribution. Hey, I picked them on SB and need serious points there.
@Silver Fox (Comment 3) : ah – ok.
I did too, but I still want the Kwas to stuff them 😉
@robdylan (Comment 4) : I wonder if you were in the first place and this was the last game and you winning a BMW was on the line….???
But where you lie such a scenario must surely be incomprehensible…
Imagine prizes like that!! 😯
GRIQUAS! Shit… I havent made my picks.
My Heart says GRIQUAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My mind and SB say “go bulls”
My sb now says Bulls by 20.
@blackshark (Comment 8) :
43 for me. Was hoping it’d be unique but it ain’t 👿
Seems they forgot to open the gates at Loftus
There is nobody their.
Or is that the fickle Bulls showing their feelings after last weeks loss 🙄 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 9) : My wife’s sentiments exactly!! 👿
@Silver Fox (Comment 11) :
Is she the Cheetah or has she selected another score which the thought may be unique?
I see the Bulls have stuck to “Ek bly ‘n bul” rather than that upchuck song that has just been released.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 12) : She be Jagluiperd. 🙁
Are the song then really out??
@Silver Fox (Comment 13) :
It seems they stuck with the old song.

My meisie se oge was altyd nog blou
Is that ONLY after they lose or do you just bliksem her regularly? LOL
@KSA Shark © (Comment 14) : 😆 😆 😆
DG attempt missed by Griquas.
0 – 0
8min
it seems this ain’t going to be a big score unless the griquas go to sleep in the 2nd half.
griquas certainly having a good period with great support but EVERYTHING is in slow motion
70 – 30 Possesion to Griquas after 12min 😯
Wynand Olivier goes for the line and is stopped short after a powerful run.
Lying on the touchline but the TJ doesn’t see him playing the ball. 👿
LO Griquas as another bull goes into touch at the next move.
15min
0 – 0 Griquas 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 18) : Not good. They are throwing everything at once. Will be surprised if they do not lose by a big score.
PK Bulls for Griquas playing the ball on the ground at the ruck
Right in front 25m out

@Silver Fox (Comment 21) :
As long as the Bulls don’t score four tries i will be a happy chappy
Have they played the new Bulls song yet? 🙄
20min
3 – 0 Bulls
Griquas not doing badly…but will they be able to keep this up…
Bulls almost score but Rocco Jansen knocks on.
@McLovin (Comment 25) :
Still playing the “Ek bly a bul” REPEATEDLY in the background.
I scheme the CD must be stuck.
or maybe this is it’s farewell match and they are playing it as much as possible. 🙄
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 27) :
I certainly hope so, but doubt it.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 28) : Second chance going astray. Trust the useless Bulls not to produce when I need them to. 😀
PK Bulls
going at goal
Over
6 – 0 Bulls
22min
Griquas put it out on the full and comeback for PK advantage about 35m out off to the left.
Botes going at goal
Griquas kicking not good.
Looked good but flags stayed down, must have missed to the left. 🙁
GO GRIQUAS!!!!!!!!!!!
@McLovin (Comment 34) :
Is this on Sky BTW?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 36) : Yes it is. 😎
Wannenburg, v Heerden, Stegmann Certainly seem to have dropped their game to the Griquas’ level of play. They seem to be nowhere on the field
@McLovin (Comment 37) :
cool
PK Bulls on the Griquas 22.
going at goal again
Over
Steyn goes 3 from 3
9 – 0 Bulls
31min
Griquas under NO pressure pass a KAK pass and they knock on giving the Bulls a scrum 25m out centerfield
@KSA Shark © (Comment 41) : At least Steyn are scoring us some points in the F/L. You do have him, do you?
PK Bulls and they go for LO.
Steyn sets it up 5m out
Griquas letting themselves down with too many stoopid mistakes..
Bulls maul brought down and have to spread it.
Advantage Bulls as the griquas are off their feet when they play the ball.
PK Bulls
set up LO again
@Silver Fox (Comment 43) :
I think so yes
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 45) :
But I AM impressed with their defence though. Bulls have been 5m out for 5min now and have still not scored
Steyn does a kick pass across field to Mangweni
Mangweni gets man and ball and dives over to score!!!!!!!!
Damn!
Conversion by Steyn hits the upright
14 – 0 Bulls
37min
Rocco Jansen Penalised for tackling man in the air.
Griquas LO 30m out
Bulls take the LO

HALF TIME
👿 forgot to ditch hougaard for steyn…
so the 3 penalties seperate the teams
@blackshark (Comment 55) :
You still have one more week for trades I believe
@blackshark (Comment 55) :
Like a [email protected]@s I traded Jaco Engels into my team and then he doesn’t play 😳 😆
ref seems to be quite lenient with players coming from the side…
@KSA Shark © (Comment 58) : Dude. I have no trades for you
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 59) :
Yeah I noticed one instance where the Bull from the side actually used his boot to clear the ball and the ref did nothing.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 57) : Yeah…but Im losing points…
Man, Dick Best is a sour old bastard
@robdylan (Comment 60) : Don’t worry blllackshark, he’s been grumpy the whole day long.
@robdylan (Comment 60) :
Dude sent them on Sunday last week
Out
Derick Kuun
Derick Hougaard
JL Potgieter
In
Jaco Engels
Morne Steyn
Chris Rossouw
@robdylan (Comment 63) : Dick Best your real name?? 😈
@robdylan (Comment 60) :
Have just forwarded it again.
Much to my disgust I am much to honest 😉 Should have left it as is 😉
Stegmann Try!!!!!!!!
TMO being asked to check if there was a knock at the ruck before the try.
Can’t find anything wrong try stands.
But Michael “30 minutes” Cupido takes a while to decide
@KSA Shark © (Comment 65) : Ok. I’ll apply them before I score this round
Conversion by Steyn Over
21 – 5 Bulls
42min
@robdylan (Comment 71) :
Thanks dude
He he he Sarvu live who are always late immediately decided it was a try. Hope they are wrong.
It takes me longer to type than for “30min” Cupido to decide. I wonder if people really appreciate my talking to them? 🙁
@Silver Fox (Comment 75) :
Tobie Botes Runs a mile to score for Griquas!!!!!!!!!
That started from a LO in the Griquas 22.
Botes chipped, his center gathered, gave it back to him and he scored.
Conversion Over
21 – 12 Bulls
50min
wow, that was a nice try!
PK Bulls for illegal scrumming by Griquas
30m out
Steyn Going at goal
Over
24 – 12 Bulls
53min
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 79) :
simple stuff but caught the Bulls napping. Great try indeed.
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 79) : Walter, if I ask you to put that on your site, I will not believe Botes can be as fast??? 😛
PK Bulls 30m out yet again.
Steyn going at goal again.
Is Matfield on the field? Which other captain would need a BP, have a 12 point lead and still go for poles?
Over
27 – 12 Bulls
56min
@KSA Shark © (Comment 84) : Pathetic!!!!
Bulls PK right in front 15m out and NOW they go for the LO.
Bulls win the LO and after about 4 phases give away a PK for holding the ball on the ground.
60min
Bulls 24 – 12 Griquas
2 tries apiece
@Silver Fox (Comment 83) :
Come again?
Julies Off Delport on
17 Green using the elbow gets a talking to and Bulls get a PK on their own 22
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 90) : Referring to the other day when I could view a try on your site at a tremendously fast rate. So much so that it was over in a split second. Not your fault though, problem are on my side. 🙂
ref at the bottom of the ruck
@Silver Fox (Comment 93) : Did you get it sorted?
promising backline move by the Griquas goes astray as the ball is passed into touch.
@walter van transvaal.co.za (Comment 95) : Not that one. Other clips are fine, thanks.
PK Bulls 15m out and they go for the LO again
Steenkamp TRY!!!!!!!!!!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 94) : Could you see who he was playing for??? 🙂
Conversion by Steyn Over
34 – 12 Bulls
70min
3 tries to 2
@Silver Fox (Comment 100) :
Came out and called a Bulls knock on in the ruck.
He either had a GREAT view of it or he favours the Griguas 😉
Bulls 15 m out and looking threatening
@KSA Shark © (Comment 103) :
And as i say that they kick the ball through instead of keeping it in hand.
Griquas don’t find touch and Bulls are on the griquas tryline in seconds.
Still no scoire though
77min
Ref Blows the whistle and the Bulls cheer.
Ref says “No No No, Time out” as he goes upstairs to 30min Cupido.
Can’t see a THING though
And in an astonishingly quick decision Cupido says “Ther eis no clear evidence of the ball being grounded”
Scrum 5m Bulls put in
77min
v Heerden stopped short and Griquas pinged for offside.
Bulls try a forward tap and go.
ball unplayable
scrum Bulls
79min
5m out
Try Bulls
Dewald Potgieter picks and goes
Conversion Over
Blue Bulls 41 – 12 Griquas
FULL TIME

Griquas stay at the bottom
@KSA Shark © (Comment 109) : And there they stuff up everything! But not good enough!!
Thanks KSA. 😀
Goooo Bokkkkkkeeeeee!!!!!!!
@Silver Fox (Comment 112) :

@bryce_in_oz (Comment 114) : Well done, lad. Info like this are handy to us ALL, though my heart goes out to KSA as well. 😉
@bryce_in_oz (Comment 114) :
yeah I saw that. 😎
i think it was PJLD who mailed it to me.
I see media Zone are doing it as well, but only 4 hours after the event.
let’s hope they have enough bandwidth 🙂
And let’s hope my connection is decent enough.
@bryce_in_oz (Comment 114) :
@Silver Fox (Comment 115) :
Just something to be aware of….
To clarify, you can only use the coupon code when the game is ready, which is 4 hours after the final whistle. Trying to use if before won’t work.
