Bools vs Bristol Bears

Ackerman looks fit enough to still be in there, amazing that man never had a great Bok career.

Vast improvement Pakie!

Akker die rakker is on.

Lane possibly over. I would have fed Vroomvroom if I was him, they'll be kicking themselves if they botched that.

Rudolph gets a little boot in there to dislodge the ball. No try. Vroomvroom was the option.

Fortuitous boot saves the Bools there

Ackerman aging an hour for each minute out there.

Haha, Randall almost scores a crazy try but Pollard might just have gotten a hand to it first. Yeah not even close but another bonkers passage of play in this game.

Hak hak...hoes hoes!!! Can't believe I wasted my time...should have stayed in the pool...

Pollard is done. This must be the worst I've ever seen him play. And braindead from Bulls in general. Speeding up the game when they've got a man in the bin. Willie a liability this week so he'll probably be gold next week. Shambolic.

As far as entertainment goes this is the exact opposite of the Bulls/Stormers quagmire last week. It's very loose but it's fun.

Bools scrum doing better now Steenekamp has replaced Wessels…who is a hooker.

Willie has actually been good before his yellow, Xavi.

A hooker of balls.

And Polly now misses touch with the penalty. Just needed the bounce to be fair but better to put it straight out.

Pollard blunders again. These old Boks should be playing in Japan….they have a few games in them, not the week after week pressure of the URC

Rudolph with a nice inside ball and then a big clean at the following breakdown.

It had to happen….a try off the corner flag,

And Seb scores another try right on par with some of the bizarre stuff in this game. Ball bounces off the corner post back infield.

Rudolph is so much more impressive and productive than his two Bok loosie partners.

Pakie, he threw the intercept for BB 3rd try. Even this last try was more luck than his kick and his passing has been wayward. Two to the ground and not at anybody.

And as I type this he goes over for a try. Figures.

Game on….again.

Another forward lumbers into acres of space, then the prop runs furthers and feeds Willie to score. What a strange game, tight forwards making 30m line breaks to feed props to give backs the try. 49-61

Rudolph again first to the breakdown to clear the ball for the Bulls.

Incredible ankle tap

Gumede one ankle tap away from scoring down the left.

Dammit, my stupid internet.

Sounds like a fun game

Bit circussy Plummie but very entertaining, some good rugby too despite how loose it is.

Gumede one placement short of scoring, Bulls held up, all over. 110 points, fun stuff.

Disappointing for the Bools but some amazing tries and maybe the best ankle tap I have seen.

Nothing saved the Bulls - their ball skills and defense was piss poor. Their backline was malfunctioning and even Pollard was disappointing. - the Bulls are at present going nowhere fast.

Frustrating to watch at times with the errors but a high scoring affair. More than a point a minute.

Poor from the springboks in that team. Rudolph and Gumede impressive. Nortje looked fucked from the 2nd minute but was still running at the end like always.

Mpot6hjing saved trhe Bulls

Who the hell is he?

Pakie, he threw the intercept for BB 3rd try. Even this last try was more luck than his kick and his passing has been wayward. Two to the ground and not at anybody.

Ja fair enough X, did some good things too but I guess a mixed bag is the best it gets for him nowadays.

Typing errors corrected.

My question what kind pf game that was rugby - - it was not rugby at all - it was plain BS,

Got frustrated at the wayward Bulls throwing the game away so went for a run.

Watching the Lions who are playing smarter rugby.

Yes Wessels is primarily a Hooker who can play loose head.

Lions playing some good rugby, much less frustrating when you're not chasing the game.

I like the Lions 7...

The best 12 on display this year thus far was Mills for he Lions - the others range from shit to supershit, Granted he Stormers had serious center injury issues - yet they still won their matches, Both the Bulls and Sharks backlines malfunctioned this year - iro defense and attack,

The only funcional backline play - incorporating the loosies as well - were the Springboks, the Stiormers and the Lions in that order, The Bulls and Sharks were supershit at best.

The one who tossed an intercept pass on his own line on Saturday, then got run over by Lyon 22 which directly led to another score for them? 12 points on his watch right there. Boy's got a long way to go.
