The Stormers got back into winning form against the injury ravaged Reds, but the Bulls are making a big play for the top of the South African conference – and if they get more benevolent calls like the ones they did on Sunday morning against the Brumbies they’ll be right in the thick of it come playoff time.
I thought the Brumbies played some brilliant rugby, only to be sawn off when Marius Jonker waved off a knock-on by Morne Steyn from which the Bulls scored a crucial try.
It was also noteworthy that while the penalty count favoured the Bulls by nine (and a free kick) to six , all but two of the Bulls penalties came within kicking range, while the Brumbies only got two penalty shots at goal.
I think Lyndon Bray’s teleconference with the referees this week might be quite a long one.
As I suspected. A close examinatin of the calls is needed. An explanation re the knock on is also needed.
Objectivity Dave- objectivity is key.
