The Bulls should be ashamed of themselves.
The Cheetahs are on the endangered species list, both in real life and in Super 14 life and for the Bulls to be contemplating a massacre of such a lovely animal is frankly ludicrous.
The Bulls have a 42 points deficit on Points difference over the Chiefs and they will be going all out to eliminate that in this afternoon’s match.
Will the Cheetahs capitulate after 60 minutes?
Or will the Bulls force them to capitulate after just 20 minutes?

More people chose the Cheetahs for a win than chose the Reds for a win. 😯
I have the Bulls by the largest margin on SB and I don’t think it will be big enough. 😉
Bakkies off already. Pooring blood from his right eye.
Game is being played at a MOERSE pace!!!!! 😯 😯
This pace won’t last more than 10minutes i’m sure.
brussow does an excellent steal off of matfield as Matfield tries to hold it out with one hand before he passes.
Almost results in Nokwe scoring.
De bruyn goes down before the line and places the ball on the ground against the poles.
TMO pending

Naas Olivier slots it.

Am I doing OK…
???
@Prof. Ice (Comment 35) :
Very well.
😯
It seems the Cheetahs’ 2nd try should not have been allowed. They used a dead ball for the quick throw in.
In the unlikely event that the bulls lose this game BB harmse will have a field day with his favourite referee. 😛

Log Updated
Bulls go top of the Log
Cheetahs stay bottom
YES!!! Nice one Habs, looking like he’s back.
@Clanerk (Comment 72) :
He DID have a good game.
I believe it would be gOOde for the ChEEtahs to be relegated- we need to rebuild and (re)learn some skills anyway- to really compete with the oZZie & NZ teams on a wEEkly basis.
Yes we might lOOse some players- but whats new?
BUT, relegation should then be the norm
last SA team in the Super Season sits out the following Super season, even if they are in position number 5 on the Super log, ( yeah unlikely but sometimes one can dream).
Kings get their two years( coz we live in South Africa!
The CC 2011 becomes the ranking order of the team that needs to go up the next season. No playoFFs – just relegation.
would work if it stays like that.
Then- the ChEEtahs “owe” the other teams nothing.
The biGGest i$$ue about the “regional” crap that SARU and the big 4 teams management are spiNNing is that that the Super season are just there to subsidise the CC team.
One side affect that they have foresEEn beyond the SANZAR muNNy windfall- is that because of trinations- their highly paid boKKe are not available for the CC.
Ok the Stormers dont have that iSSue – coz most of the boKKe isnt a shoe in on CC level anyway!
😈

Some okes just dont understand!
