will the bulls give the south african confeence their first tour win of the season, or will they fail miserably again like the stormers and cheetahs???

GO THE MIGHTY HIGHLANDERS!!!

 I see brother saSUE is off to a bad start this morning. Bulle take no lip from these lowlanders. It will help ou saSUE get back to reality as the oak is mentally delusional. 
With ou saSUe sounding of like a rusty alarm it could be a long morning. 

 I see wee matield is playing. To compensate bulle have a big backrow. victor make sure your backline play is supportive. ie dont get in the way of the backline players! 

 Just a heads up the real match thread is up the top haha.

so from the bulls last 101 games, wrener kruger has played in 100 of them, im sure even caleb ralph would find that impressive. impressive.

hello mr bean and lucky luke, :o)

where are all the scarfies???? is it holidays in NZ or something??? o_O

potgeiter nails a penalty, bulls 3-0

bulls pink away jersey was better then this abomination of a jersey that theyre wearing.

bad clearance  kick from aaron smith.

 Hurricanes > Highlanders #not sorry 

serfontein looking good early on.

6-0 to the bulls.

im glad i didnt bring in king, thats two penalties already and a tight head, o_O

 Bulle have no dress sense at all. All I ask bulle is you play like the bulle and not the blue bulle calves.
Man I need to go out!!Sorry brother saSUE and JW I was hoping to be able to guide you through the match. The need being so great.Great tighthead - mince the wee lowlanders bulle! matfiled please remember you role in the backline is as a supporting player least you get in the way of the real backline players.Just strut around with your arms out at right angles and you will keep your groupies fooled!  the nz oaks commentators are speaking up ou matfiled big time. Isee hisw eight was given as 114kg so the propaganda machine is in full flight.

Another penalty to bulle. Keep up the good work ref. I expect his true colouirs to show in due course. Is an Oz ref.Another scrum penalty. Wee lowlanders are suffering. HahahahahahahaBye to all for now

I picked the bulls in this game ...strictly because Victor was playing...Serfontein has started well...

 Ive started king haha my fc opp tho barley has feilded a team haha so all good, im facing blackpower tho, checked his team hes gonna score big this we, wl be a tough one.

high tackle is correct, but it looked forward earlier before that.

take the three FFS u stupid landers, :/

later storminged, come back when the highlanders win and the bulls lose,,,,again, LMAO,

bulls 6-3.

hi crusy#1,

serfontein on fire, awesome little chip.

the fundamentals from the highlanders are shaping this game to be another typical theyre their own worst enemies highlanders match.

rohan logic, if u knock the ball on when going for an intercept, its not a knock on, O_o

forward pass from initial glances.

nek minit, off the bulls, nice try, yaaaaay,

 Howzit naru and Luke ...tight game...

yeah bro, tight as game.

bulls 1st half was awsome, easily the better team, they will be gutted to tie it up heading into the half.

and the buulls try in the second half, could be a real morale killer for the bulls.

i benched malaki fekitoa after two weeks of poor performances and now hes killing it,

such is fantasy life i guess., :/

bulls are making the smae mistakes that the higlanders did in the 1st half, the one percenters are killers if not executed.

fekitoaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

wonderful try to the highlanders.

bulls looking tired, already out of gas. they have a second wind in them, but they need it to come out now and stop this highlanders momentum.

rolling mauls and kicking for touch uis key.

landers just need to keep on running it like theres no tomorrow.

 i diddnt

buckman stupid penalty, gives the bulls a chacne to kill their momentum and get some points.

bring on ged robinson.

 geds on.

ged is on, thanks jospeh,

bulls lineout imauls are not clicking today.

 man bulls are making more misatkes in the second half then the landers did in the 1st, and thats a lot.

thats bull shit, two delibertae knock downs byb the bulls, one from matfield and the other from potgeiter, both were yellow cards. very cynical .

fekitoas on fire, o_O

glad i kept him in my testrugby team, :/

 landers are doing wat the canes shld of done, run them into the grnd, expansive well always beat pragmatic.

 Just started watching in the last quarter, Bulls looking really stupid. 
Matfield takes a quick  throw, referree calls in front of the spot - but appears to take a long time to do so- Hougaard may have been away.

bulls are still in it, 2 quick trys and its all on.
