Bulls vs Lions URC 2026

Let's see if the Lions can pull a cat out of the bag.

Marcel Coetzee has come to play, lovely offload out of contact. Grobbelaar knocks unfortunately.

Batho with a big break.

Coetzee wins a turnover penalty.

Long period of pick and go for the Bulls and eventually Vorster slips a tackle to get over after a Pollard half break. 7-0

Vorster with a huge break, puts the kick through to the corner for Jacobs, just can't gather.

Great take in the air by Kriel followed by an offload that gets the Lions going.

Yo yo Paks

Kriel with another great take, upended in the air by Arendse. He may be in trouble, didn't look like a contest at first glance.

What I miss?

Howzit Plummie

Same as he did to BB early in his on career...Dangerous Kurt!

Yeah Arendse is in trouble, he got that wrong. Yellow.

What I miss?

One Bulls try and a bunch of box kicks.

The box kick really has replaced constructive back play. Hardly exciting.

Lions scrum looks solid against the mega Bulls pack

He who kicks the most wins...so say the stats.

On the Rassie pod they had a good line about "stats".

Stats are like bikinis, they show almost everything but not good parts

Lekker Crappies! Good chase there after Stoke knocks it

Pollard knocks, vd Bergh kicks through, penalty against Papier for getting up from the tackle without releasing. Big turnaround. Poles.

7-3 B

3-7 as Smith knocks it over from halfway

Summer water break.

Eish Polly kicks his restart out

You sound highly entertained Pakie

Ha, not yet but hopefully soon.

Kriel has really come on as a player, looked a bit of a tappit when I first saw him but he's turned into a handy player. In the meantime it's end to end action.

Bit of back and forth action until Pollard eventually nudges it out on the Lions 10m

Kurt back on

Lions haven't taken advantage of Arendse's absence as he comes back on.

Lions with a nice net gain into the Bulls 22

Lions willing to run it, they end up inside the Bulls 22 as Mills puts a decent little tap over the top into touch.

Nice clearance by Papier. One step forward two steps back for the Lions at the moment.

Now Batho knocks it and Bulls counter. Back in the Lions 22 after a nice kick by Devon.

Eish, Pollard directly into touch and the Lions have a lineout on the Bulls 22

...and then Batho knocks, the Bulls break out and get a 50/22

Geez, massive net loss and the Bulls now battering the Lions line

And Grobbies dives over

Grobbelaar over. Looks like brute force will be enough for the Bulls today, not much finesse out there.

Pollard pulls the convo, 12-3.

Terrible pass Quan. Basic errors.

Davids concedes a dumb penalty, Lions will be back in their own territory again.

Bulls in again although Pollard.

Lions coming apart here

Marcel offloads to Pollard for the try, Lions can't stop the Bulls pick and go bonanza.

That's 14 points off the back of soft errors from the Lions
