Almost an early head clash between Louw and Pretorius. Might actually have been but neither player cared.

Damn some slick stuff from the Bulls. Pity they keep kicking the ball away.
If Hanekom could control that offload the Bulls was in. All Bulls so far.
Lions scrum owned. Bulls for posts. 3-0
Big defense Bulls, Hanekom gets it on the deck. Bulls offloads are sticking today.
Lions out of jail after a steal at the breakdown by tall lock Oosthuizen.
Venter strong tackle on Hanekom.
Great run by Devon Williams.
Chamberlain kicks into space, Petersen chases and gets and offloads to Kriel for the try. 10-0
Howzit Pak
Howzit Plums. Your Lions looking a bit flat boet.
Bulls 10 - 0
72/74 possession and territory for the Bulls. Total dominance.
Harsh penalty against the Bulls. A guy can hardly get out of the way if a hooker falls right on top of him. 10-3 it is though.
Hanekom through two tackles. De Klerk gets owned by Henko.
These guys are gonna be pap in the last 20.
Geez...Hannekom holding Venter up.
Ruan Venter's first touch, makes a meter or two into a double tackle before being held up. Bulls ball.
These guys are gonna be pap in the last 20.
Ja they really are digging in. Good game so far, good skills and fast pace.
Chamberlain misses a penalty, thought it was over.
All Bulle so far
Monster penalty from the Lions...let's see if their lineout works here in the Bulls 22
Little bit of nice pressure from the Lions resulting in an easy 3.
Hannekom goes off...
probably an HIA
10-6
Louw has been quite good today.
Floppity drop goal attempt by Chamberlain as Bulls play themselves to a standstill a bit.
Henko collects a chip kick to put the Lions in.
Nice try from the Lions to take the lead...
conversions is missed...
11-10
Henko scores, chases and gathers and makes it to the line.
The Lions dude looks a bit awkward place kicking. His two easier kicks also looked like they just scraped in.
Pakie...did you notice how the game changed the moment Hannekom went off?
Quite impressed with Devon Williams, always looks good for beating the first tackle.

Definitely a shift.
That Lions 6 sure is small for a flanker. Almost looks like a scrumhalf.
Lions with nice pressure but then knock it on right on the Bull line
Lions came very close to scoring, balance of the game has completely swung around.
Carr looking ponderous and slow as he breaks away from the back there.
"Definitely a shift."
Shows how good he is.
Is hanekom coming back? Sitting on the bench with his mouthguard.
11-10 halftime. Another penalty missed right on the whistle for the Lions.
I'll miss some of the second half, have an errand to run.
I think Hannekom failed the HIA
2nd half...here we go
Oh, shit...
Venter injures Louw. I think it was Venter, I can't watch the slo-mo...can't bring myself to watch knee injuries.
This is a massive injury.
Erich won't be available this year for the Boks.
Hannekom's injury was blood.
Looks like he'll come back on
Hope Louw injury is not serious!
It's very serious Beeno...
his knee is shredded
Very scrappy 2nd half.
Moodie, Willie and Akker coming on now at the 50 min mark.
Lions putting lots of pressure on the Bulls now
That is very bad news Plum. Might be career ending.
I saw Nortje also went off?
Willie times his pass perfectly and Bulls score.
I'm back. Bad news about Louw, and he was looking good in this game too. Looks like the Bulls got it done.
Nice win for the Bulls now.
Probably a good result in terms of SA's ambitions in the URC.
Terrible result for Louw
Which team am I gonna watch lose tonight...Vissies or Stompies?
Tough call. Might keep an eye on both.
