Willie releases Moodie for the try with another brilliantly delayed pass. He is on fire today. Any young back who wants to get some pointers on distribution needs to watch Willie here. Easily my MOTM so far, instrumental in the Bulls score being what it is. 25-21
Now Johannes hits the gap and runs in a long score. Bulls impressive in the way they clean up bungles behind the advantage line and still manage to turn it into constructive attack.
Great conversion of his own try, 32-21. Bulls dominating now.
Great kick from the base by Papier sends the Bulls back into the Edin 22. That's where they need to play.
Penalty Bulls. Will they take the 3? Nope, lineout 5.
Williams on for Moodie, who's been good. Not sure if it's a permanent replacement.
Bulls brute force it over from close, looks like Nortje.
Another great conversion from the touchline by Johannes, what did he have at halftime? 39-21
Still plenty of time, Bulls should keep up the pressure.
Trouble with the put in to the scrum as Papier delays and finally Edin gets the shove on the Bulls. Penalty Edin, lineout about 10 out.
Desperate goal line defense Bulls, they may be getting a card here. No, just a little chat.
And inevitably Edin breaks through. Ashman over. And a yellow to the Bulls, JF van Heerden. 39-28
Big moment now as Edin drops the kick off and the Bulls gather. Might have been a deliberate knockdown by Edin. Yes, yellow for Thompson. That will relieve some pressure. Bulls go for three.
That slap definitely prevented a try.
Penalty goal, 41-28
Looked like a big forward pass in that move by Edin but play goes on. Goosen scores but will that pass get another look.
Nope, try stands. Edin right back in it if this goes over. Nope, Bulls still two scores clear. 42-33
Bulls need to keep punching, can't go defensive now.
Good afternoon, guys. All the Blue Bulls need to reach their Super Rugby peak again is a different coach. Lots of talent but poor coaching.”
Willie's chip bounces for Moodie who boots it ahead and just can't gather his own bounce. Close. Bulls need a big scrum here.
What's wrong with the coaching, JH? They're by far the best coached of the SA franchises.
Edin manages to break out of their 22 from the scrum. Maybe a little too easily.
Moodie takes the high ball well and promptly knocks it. Edin has gained 50m with a scrum feed to come.
Bradbury allowed to make far too many yards from the back of the scrum. Edin gets a penalty and have a lineout inside the Bulls 22.
They drop the ball and Eskom makes 20 yards upfield.
Bulls missing tackles and Edin rumbling back.
If you don't see the problem, my explanation won't help.
Moodie taking the high ball, stepping away from the contact which gives the tackler forward momentum and Bulls concede a penalty on the ground. Need to be more combative than that, Moodie.
Bulls stop the maul and get the scrum. That could be the game if they can clear from here.
Johannes slips and the kick goes midfield. Edin counters. Great counter ruck by the Bulls and they get the penalty.
Lineout 10 out for the Bulls.
Akker goes blind from the back, beats one and nearly gets to the corner. Bulls lose possession though, Edin now has to run it out from their own tryline. Bulls get a penalty though. Lineout 5.
Bulls maul sacked but Edin gets the penalty. They can't win anymore but they'll run it.
De Klerk gets it and clears, Bulls win 42-33.
After last night’s poor play, this game was like a fresh breeze. Well done, Bulls
Willie will still be my MOTM even if his influence waned towards the end. Instrumental in enough of the Bulls points to say that without him it might have been a different result.
Well done bulls .
