Bulls vs Connacht URC 2025 R4

Willie just overdoing the cross now, and the accuracy not there.

Johannes way to relaxed tracking back there.

Con Artists scam a try

K@k sloppy.

Ref looks like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds.

Ha, had to google it but he does a bit.

Kickable penalty for Johannes. Bit far out but he shouldn't have a problem with distance. No worries, 28-19 B

Now Johannes slots a tricky one and Bulls in a 9 point lead

Connacht now with about the same range penalty, bit straighter. It's good, 28-22 B

If Con slot this penalty we could be in for a spirited final 6 minutes because it'll put them within a score.

Haha that was lob wedge but he got it...

Bulls lead by a mere 6

Crowd in boisterous spirits, Bulls kickoff goes dead. Stupid errors.

Connacht with a strong attack from the scrum, maybe the pass should have gone to Hansen. Willie might be pinged for a high shot there.

Yeah he's in trouble, not much in it but I get a feeling this ref is going to call it as head contact.

Penalty only. Bit lucky.

Booger was itching for yellow...

Bulls have done well to spoil the maul but Con still has it.

And now Willie gets pinged for a high tackle authorise the Bulls try line.

Connacht set up a lineout on the 5

...maul stopped

...phases on the Bulls line

...more phases

...solid defence by the Bulls

...Connacht score in the corner through Hansen with a conversion to win the game...

Bulls defense solid so far. Penalty advantage after 15 phases. Hansen in the corner. Nightmare conversion waiting.

Just curled it across the uprights, 28-27. They can retake, early charge. Even worse effort second time round.

Manie?

Retake? WTF?

My word he drew that conversion!!!

But now Connacht get to retake the conversion...

okay!?

Haha he drew that one even more lol.

1 point in it and there is time for a kick off

Weer mis...

Games ends with a knock on

Licky win for the Bullitjies

Goal kicking win matches, boys. Not a convincing display by the Bulls, their defense and some poor opposition goal kicking saw them through.

Thanks for the company ouens. Lekker slaap.

Bravo Bulle ... tough luck Connies.

De Klerk M.O.M

AAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!

Another bloody awful game by the Bulls against the team that was beaten by the Stormers 34,0. Ad good as Willie wa in two of the tries scored so bad wa he in kiinkibg th e balls away too mainy aimkless kickin g instead of using the bacline for attacks,

I think Serfontein is not the player he used to be ten years ago.

The only outstanding player was De Wei, Always was a very good scrummie

Secondly was the good scrumming of the Bills/

For he rest bugger-all to be happy about

.

Good away win by the Bools if somewhat lucky….and Johannes while perfectly ordinary in general play does make the big kicks. Willie made similar tactical kicking mistakes last season when he was put in the flyhalf berth. He had a good game for 60 minutes.

The game had few exciting moments, mostly an arm wrestle. Although Wessels’ exploratory work and the reaction was certainly memorable. Is nothing sacred anymore?

"The game had few exciting moments, mostly an arm wrestle. Although Wessels’ exploratory work and the reaction was certainly memorable. Is nothing sacred anymore?"

He was very lucky, that would have been a lengthy ban.

100% he grabbed them nuts haha

The fact is it was shit performance. 3 weeks ago the Stormers beat Connacht 34-0 and the site idiots said the Stomers did not defend well. Time to move on from the elderly - Willie's kicking was 80% aimles and inaccurate shit shit He tred to ackle a playe and got penalized that was before the

Yj Bulls fowards were no better than he Stormes were against three weks ago.

I wuld say thee are basically from a Bulls erspecie whose perfomancs were good or at least above average:-

De Klerk

Moodie (in patches)

De Wet

Ludwig

Wiese

The rest nearly lost the match for the Bulls, There was above a real insult of Ludwig. The lad did work in ight 5 play at breakdowns and other aspects of play powder-puff Moster never had, , I like Ludwig a lot as a promising youngster,

Akker is only a few games deep, Mike. Give him a little more time

Plum

I was just looking at yesterdays match, I don't know what you t hink - but for me there is a huge problm for Ackerman to solve, Too many ex-Springboks that does not produce the goods anymore,

I'd say give Akker a bit of time. He'll work out what he needs to and the Bulls will settle.and Remember that Elrigh and Hanekom are still to return

Plum

A great forwards team - but it is the backline that is malfunctioning and ten man rugby will not be successtl.

If you watched the game you'd have seen the backs scoring wonderful tries. The forwards were the ones giving away penalties and being a bit slow to rucks.

In the backs, Willie's kicking was poor, and Johannes kicks well but is a non-entity otherwise.

Not sure where you're getting the idea of ten man rugby from because that's not what it was.

Plum I agree - but taking into account the amount of good balls the Bulls got in fact represemts maor backline underperformance by the Bulls. The Bulsl will play Glasgow in Ronud 5 ad after the Leinster loss that one will be difficult to win - it will not be won if the Bulls play like they did in Round 4 without a top fnctioning backline, Another factor to be borne in mind is how strong is Leinster at present? Munster beat them with the greatest of ease in Round 4 - The other resuts of Munste was noas a ver=powerig as happened in the series thus far,

It is rather a messy to evaluate team performances thus far in the series. they have only played only a third of the foreign matches the S A franchie has to play (12 in total) and only a third of the foreign franchises and none of the 6 SA teams against each other have been played.

Looking at performances of teams thus far the Bulls is unlikely to beat Glasgow on Saturday - if the Sharks does not ebat Scarlets it will be a disgrace showing they have been fucked by the finger of fate. The Lions will be unavble to beat Ulster - if the Stormers do not play serious rugby against Benetton it may spring a surprise on them - but my guess is there will be another 5 pointer on Satirday. by the Stormers. .
