Bulls should win this by plenty, even with Papier and Pollard only coming off the bench.

Howzit Rooi. My internet has been crap all weekend, no idea how much I'll be able to watch.

Howzit Pakie. I'll be doing a bit of flicking to the Liverpool vs Chelsea hame and the Giro d'Italia.


Bit of ping pong to get us started then Moodie is stripped of the ball and Zebre in possession.


Some really weak tackling from Zebre and Willie is in to open the scoring. If that's how Zebre are going to defend then this will be a massacre.

Bulls go end to end, started by Moodie, finished by Willie. Last pass is being checked.

Yeah that came wobbly out of Moodie's hands and went forward.

No, try disallowed for an earlier forward pass from Moodie. Still 0-0.

I flicked away and then came back to find they changed their minds and the try was given after all. 7-0.

Scrum collapses and the ref decides it was Zebre's fault. Penalty Bulls. May as well go for poles here but Bulls take the scrum instead.

It looked a good decision as Hanekom broke and put Jooste in but he couldn't ground it. Zebre will clear.

Willie with another one of those little kicks you want him to stick up his ass.

Agree Pakie, it was strange. I flicked away and came back thinking the Bulls had scored another try but I rewound only to see the original try had eventually been given.


Now Moodie canters in after some good passing. 14-0.

Cam Hanekom in the thick of it again. He's made a few good carries already.


Bulls now running it for a change and looking much better for it. Some good work by Kurt-Lee until de Wet loses it. Back for an advantage.

What a waste of a penalty as Willie doesn't find touch. Zebre have a goal line drop out.

Zebre defense looks patchy, holes everywhere. Don't think they're up for this. I'm gonna skip this one and fiddle with my interwebs to see if I can improve it before the Lions game.

Now Moodie throws a wild pass that is intercepted by Gesi and he scores. Zebre on the board . . . and the kick is good. 14-7.

Kurt-Lee and Cheswill combine and Cheswill shows good pace to score. 19-7.

Bulls send it wide to Peterson who scores. Floodgates are opening here.

The hooter for half time goes but Zebre have a penalty 5m out. They kick for the corner and maul it over for a try. A very scrappy half ends 26-12 to the Bulls.

2nd half underway. Stedman Gans has come on but I'm not sure if it's for Moodie or one of the wingers.

Zebre have a good attack but Dominguez does a Willie and kicks it away.


Bulls now on attack and they get a lucky bounce followed by a grubber and Ruan Vermaak is in to score. 33-12.

Lots of changes for the Bulls, among them Cobus Wiese and a new front row.

A really careless forward pass by Grobbelaar to Petersen ruins a scoring chance . . . but I blame Petersen for running too far ahead.

Zebre are in to score but surely there was a forward pass there . . . no, apparently it was good even though it looked a lot more forward than the pass Grobbelaar threw to Petersen.


33-17 . . . make that 33-19 as the conversion is good.


Bulls making heavy weather of this.

Hanekom picks up at the back of the ruck and he's through to score untouched. Zero defence from Zebre.


40-19.

Good pressure from the Bulls and Vorster jogs in for an easy score.


47-19.

There's the hooter and it's over. 54-19 to the Bulls but it was a pretty forgettable game.


Cameron Hanekom is deservedly named MotM.
