The Waratahs travel to Fort Loftus for the second of their long two match tour of South Africa.
The Bulls have started 2010 where the left of in 2009, having now won 8 consecutive games and not having lost at home since 12 April 2008 to the Hurricanes giving them 11 consecutive HOME wins, or should we just say 12 now and get it over with.
The Bulls will make no mistakes, I am expecting a rather big score from them.

but well everyone that was but very good rugby fast ball and they enjoyed themselves 🙂
well got 4 out of 7 on sb these teams need to be playing the way have them on sb aaahhhh 🙂 😉
well done bulls 🙂
@KSA Shark © (Comment 148) : don’t know about that one 3 lost just maybe all will be lost 😥 😎 ➡ 😉
Well I don`t know about you guys but I feel we dug ourselves into a hole with Jonkers` performance here.
Wannenburg takes out Barnes after he kicked the ball . . . no arms more like a shoulder charge. If it was Butch it would`ve been a red card right there.
Daan takes out their player while he`s still in the air! No penalty.
Steyn brings down two guys with ” face level ” ” tackles” , no penalty.
Jonker set a dangerous president here. If our teams gets some harsh treatment from the refs from now on we`ll just have to shut up about it I`m afraid.
Bottom line, the bulls are a good side, they don`t need these kinda favours.
Fantastic rugby Bulls…. 😯
