What a day for a rugby supporter, being treated to 400 minutes of top class rugby in a space of 14 hours. Out third game for the day, and first of three consecutive Currie Cup encounters, sees the Blue Bulls travel to Kimberley to take on Griquas at home.
Griquas can mathematically still make the play-offs, but will need to take 5 points against the Bulls today and then win their next match to potentially finish fourth.
The Bulls have made quite a second round comeback and will no doubt be confident of coming away with at least 4 points today, which would rule out a Griquas play off spot and would keep the Bulls alive.
Interesting match lies ahead, I do not think it will be a high winning margin, yet the Bulls should be able to sneak this in.
Griquas: 15. Rudi Vogt, 14. Dusty Noble, 13. Wilmaure Louw, 12. Matthew Rosslee, 11. Rocco Jansen, 10. Riaan Viljoen, 9. Sarel Pretorius, 8. Leon Karemaker, 7. Justin Downey, 6. Jonathan Mokuena (Captain), 5. George Earle, 4. Hendrik Roodt, 3. Lourens Adriaanse, 2. Ryno Barnes, 1. Ivann Espag
Replacements: 16. Simon Westraadt, 17. Steph Roberts, 18. Jaco Nepgen, 19. Burger Schoeman, 20. Marnus Hugo, 21. Earl Rose, 22. Monty Dumond
Blue Bulls: Gerhard van den Heever; Akona Ndungane, Wynand Olivier, Francois Venter, Bjorn Basson; Louis Fouché, Jano Vermaak, CJ Stander, Jacques Potgieter, Deon Stegmann, Juandré Kruger, Flip van der Merwe, Werner Kruger, Gary Botha (capt), Dean Greyling.
Replacements: Willie Wepener, Frik Kirsten, Gerrit-Jan van Velze, Arno Botha, Warwick Tecklenburg, Dustin Jinka, Francois Brummer.

@beet (Comment 38) : noooooooooooo

Some good moving of the ball away from the pt of breakdown leads to a crash over for Jacques Potgieter
39-27
I don’t mind the Bulls getting 2 points out of this game, even 3 points is ok, just not more 😕
I just hate these double standards we have to deal with when it comes to the Bulls.
For them a yellow card only means 8 minutes!
When Chilliboy and Basson used illegal drugs last year they got off free . . . can you imagine what would happen if Burden and Mvovo gets caught with something like that? 👿
@beet (Comment 41) : Give us some good news for a change 😉
@Original Pierre (Comment 43) :

@JarsonX (Comment 44) :

Matthew Rosslee who looks so good in close contact play, hangs onto yet another flat pass and crosses the chalk.
39-34

@beet (Comment 48) : That’s better, now keep it up 😛

Where’s my ‘author’ icon?
The Fat Lady has made her appearance at the side of the pitch and is warming up her vocal cords
@JarsonX (Comment 65) : gone missing i see maybe they are just a bit tried and had a smoke
@beet (Comment 66) : who’s the fat lady 😳
@chaz (Comment 67) :
The Bulls backs guilty all afternoon long of not showing enough urgency to close down the space on the Griquas backs
@JarsonX (Comment 56) : @chaz (Comment 58) : thanx i thought it was earlier for some odd reason
@RuckingFun (Comment 71) :
they leave the best game of all for last and its in RTB so we are going to win b time i hope
@beet (Comment 66) : She should hurry up 😀
@chaz (Comment 68) : some thinks its Adele while other believe its that lead singer from the Gossip

Final score 48-44 to the Kwasse.
@beet (Comment 75) : Too bad 🙁 Well done Griquas.
@beet (Comment 74) :
To the Bulls: Maybe next year 😆 😆 😆
Well done Griquas lost point on SB but thats ok at least the Might Bylls didn’t get a 5 pointer and only 1 great now we must win big time and the snoils must loose
@beet (Comment 76) : like that name Kwasse
What’s the current points difference of all the teams?
@JarsonX (Comment 79) :
now just to get rid of the snoils cheets 😆
@JarsonX (Comment 79) : the Bulls fans now have to root for the Lions to beat WP
we need to win with a BP and we will end up 2nd again and snoils must just loose and it will be 1 point diffs on the log
The Griquas haven’t missed Dawie Theron so far. Abrie Minnie has done well.
Quick message for Muzi. Next time wait till after the game to tell me to stop talking s**t. 😆
