URC semifinal 2 - Bulls vs Sharks

Mapimpi gives up another penalty to the Bulls, this time in range.

Big maul Bulls, up to halfway. Now they kick it again. Moodie for once gets it back for the Bulls and they get a penalty.

Johannes misses. It remains 18-13.

Another scrum on halfway to the Sharks...

Sharks make ground but get penalised yet again...

Bulls kick for touch and relive some pressure

Bulls lineout their own 10m...maul...Emborse kicks...Moodie collects and then Mapimpi get penalise for too many goes at the ball...

Bulls go for 3...

Johannes misses...

It stays 18-3

That was some dumbass stuff from Mapimps. Kickin' Johannes for posts. Nope, pushes it.

Jaden off. Sharks have a chance now.

At last, Bradley Davids replaces Jaden . . . but it may be too late as David Kriel scores after good work from Papier.

finally Jayden goes off.

Rooi will be happy..

Worse sets Kriel up for a score...

that's a kick in the nuts for the Sharks

oooof

Papier with another snipe initiaties the try for Kriel. The difference between the scrumhalves and their influence on the game. Good work by Wiese too.

25-13 to the Bulls

Johannes converts and the Sharks need to score at least twice. 25-13.

Am drops a sitter. Time to get him off.

Am has been hyper shit...

Moodie has been very solid.

Esterhuizen with another banging offload only for Am to fuck it up.

Lucky strike Am strikes again. Drops the ball costing iShaka all their momentum. Bulls taking control of the game now

De Klerk off

The Bulls had plenty of bad lucky but are still dominating the Vissies

Devon on for MOTM De Klerk.

The Bulls had plenty of bad lucky but are still dominating the Vissies

They didn't play, that was their problem. Last ten minutes they started playing and now they're dominating.

Surely that pass was forward? Great defence from Hooker and the Sharks win the turnover but deep in their own half.

Arendse would have scored that one in the corner for the Bulls there

Better high kick Papier, deeper and the Bulls get it back of the Mapimpi knock. Johannes into the gap, great pass to Williams who is stopped short. Thought they were gonna score there.

Hooker is just at another level. Chases down what looked like a try and then gets the turn over from the tackle. All in one move

Yeah, I think it's too much to ask for the Vissies to come back now

Johannes already more of an impact than Goose had.

Big distance on that kick for Jordan...massive net gain

Bulls bashy bashy to nowhere, now Wiese knocks it. Jordan downfield with the kick. Johannes clears but huge gain for the Sharks.

Now Mapimpi knocks on and it's a penalty to the Bulls. That could be the game.

Yeah, Paks...I'm much more confident in Johannes too now.

He's looking better every time we see him.

Great tackle Moodie on Fassi.

Rooi, did you see there is a Dune Mmo out, called Dune Awakening

If you have a player of Goose's age who can't deliver in a big game like this, it's probably time to move on from him.

Willie kicks it out on the full. Last chance for the Sharks,

Sharks tackler clearly killing the ball there but gets away with it.

Now Willie kicks it directly into touch...

Why not kick deep and make them fun it back!!!???

Willie has been at his mediocre best tonight.

Good clearance from Fassi. Now it really is last chance saloon.

Fassi with a 22 to 22 clearance there...

Damn that was huge

Jordan throws a panicky pass and it's scrum Bulls. That's it. Well played Bulls.

Hendrikse ends an attacking movement that was almost certainly a try. A comedy of errors

Jordan offloads forward. Bulls will go through but they will have to play more rugby than this against Leinster. Sharks pretty much beat themselves for the most part.
