edinburgh v bulle

oh Kriel ..........

Don't know how some people can still have Kriel pegged for a future Bok. Bog average.

Bulls just run out of options after a few phases and does something stupid.

Seb now with the break and chip off turnover possession but just can't get enough control on the second dribble forward and it goes dead.

Jooste won't come back. Pity, just when the Bulls are finally getting the ball wide.

Ed now ripping the Bulls scrum and Burger knocks it at the back.

And now they get a scrum penalty.

Clear early hit by Edinburgh in that scrum

Now Gumede mistimes his run onto Pollard's pass and the Bulls die again after 3 of 4 phases.

Lions maul over for try ... Osprey 19-17 .... 48min

Grobbelaar into the gap, feeds Willie who a few years ago would probably have gone all the way but now barely makes the 22 before looking for the pass.

Seb looks to be in trouble on the ground after taking contact chasing a grubber.

Stretcher out. Bulls losing their best players.

And Willie overruns the Pollard pass and another Bulls sequence comes to a lame end.

Horn scores another for the Lions after a nice Kriel chip.

Quan Horn scores Lion lead 24-19 .... 59min

And again the Bulls lose it after attacking and Ed now back on their 22.

The Bulls with advantage ball again ends up with Pollard chipping the ball away. They just can't put enough constructive phases together.

Osprey score 24-24 ........ 63m

Eskom with a terrific carry off the tap gets over the line, but he looks held up. Might well have got it down actually, hard to tell for sure. TMO calls it a try. Probably a bit lucky as I don't think there's clear evidence but we'll take it. 19-17 B

Given the physics it looks like a try was scored, but no evidence. Commentators saying it was off a knee but he looked in possession to the line.

Escom has made a difference

we will indeed

Bulls cock up the lineout again and blows an attacking position.

A late penalty could decide this.

Ed boots it out on the full and the Bulls have another lineout just outside the 22.

My internet is working again!!!

...but then I forget there's rugby on.

Bulls leading!

Jacobs has been lively but Douglas rules the breakdown and turns him over.

Stravino has a touch of Aki about him

Almost on time, Plummie. Almost.

Geez, had the whole game been this hectic?

Going to be a hectic last few minutes.

Geez, had the whole game been this hectic?

Nah, first half was a shitter. Bulls got better in the second but it's been stop start all the way. This is just a bit of late game desperation.

Dumb kick by Thompson.

Wouldn't be a bad win for the Bulls if they can pull this off.

wot a lekker double feature !!

Bulls scrum wins them a penalty. Thompson might well have kicked the game away there.

Another game won by. the scrum!

Miraculous win for the Bulls, they looked dead in the water after the first half. Grobbelaar worthy MOTM.

bravu Bulle

Nice. Akker turning it around.

24 a piece in the a Lions game with 5 to go
