Steyn continues his fine kicking performance as he slots the difficult conversion from the left touchline. 21-0 to the Bulls!

14 mins: Bulls try! After the Cheetahs apply the pressure, Meyer Bosman loses the ball forward and the Bulls steal possession.

Steyn converts for the two points. 14-0 to the Bulls

7 mins: The Cheetahs are awarded a penalty in front of the posts moments after the restart. However, Potgieter pulls his first attempt wide.

  • 59.coherence: Reply to this comment

    It has just been bad tactics by the Cheetahs. Trying to play wide to avoid the Bulls forwards backfired in a big way. You Always risk turnovers when you play wide from first phase. Heinrich Brussow is a turnover specialist, not a ball protection specialist.

    FS giving up about 15 kg in the forwards yet still drukking these bully brekers scrum

    Bulls lucky in the early exchanges Fs doing all the play and getting turned over at critical times, Bosman guilty of giving away possession couple times in Bulls 22.

    Bulls going to need that 19 points early lead cause Cheetah’s gonna come storming back at them.

    Stats show Fs dominance, score board shows that you don’t need territory or possession to win.

    “Bulls lucky in the early exchanges Fs doing all the play and getting turned over at critical times, Bosman guilty of giving away possession couple times in Bulls 22.”

    There was nothing lucky about the turnovers in the beginning. It was because the Cheetahs were going very wide every single phase, and if you do that, you are going to get turned over.

    The possession stats just show that the Bulls have been giving the ball away alot. However, they usually gave the ball away as a result of scoring points.

  • 100.skopskiet: Reply to this comment

    Lucky Bulls Cheetah’s their own worst enemy so far, if didn’t cough up possession on attack so often Bulls wouldn’t even be in it now. Been all Cheetah’s both territory and possession, Bulls scoring off turnover ball.

    Come Cheetah’s stick it to them this half.

    The ball has to travel five metres. It doesn’t matter where the player is standing. You can’t reach over the 5 metre line to grab it.

    I would say that Straus has just killed the Cats

    Kaplan just ruined the rest of the game congratulations Jonathan.

    SKOPSKIET,
    Was it not the players breaking the rules who ruined the rest of the game?

  • 169.Senga: Reply to this comment

    If not for Kaplan’s cheating, the Bulls sould have won by 50!

  • 170.coherence: Reply to this comment

    You can’t criticise a ref for making the right decisions. That’s his job.

    COHERENCE,
    No room for logic here with SKOPSKIET.

    lol, wp nel like a little sherman tank.

  • 173.skopskiet: Reply to this comment

    Too little too late shouldn’t have given them 19 points on a plate.

    Bulls poppies now thats something worth coming to the party for.

    Did the Cheetahs just do the Bulls scrum with 7 men? :)

    Atleast he supported PDV when he was being blamed for… winning the Lions series?

    It’s blame the ref time!! Sponsored by: Cheetahs supporters.

    Game set and match!

    SKOPSKIET – keep your pommie hands off our Blou Bulle Poppies.
    COHERENCE – post 174? Not sure I understand what you mean.

  • 179.cab: Reply to this comment

    Yip, well played Bulls, helluva season, probably the best team in the world at the moment.

  • 180.BULLET: Reply to this comment

    I would like to see Nico Breedt in the Bok squad as a replacement for Bakkies, is he too old?

  • 181.skopskiet: Reply to this comment

    Thanks for coming Bully brekers got lucky just like in Cape Town two weeks ago.

    Brekers lift the cup. Too bad.

    Sore losers? Sheeez FS are a sad bunch – wanting to fight after the final whistle

    #175 Ezee-23: there are no Cheetahs supporters here yet.

    Congrats Bulls, deserved win. Congrats to the Cheetahs too, some sensational rugby played in the last few weeks.

  • 184.SodaJoe: Reply to this comment

    Well done Bulls. Cheetahs – you went down with courage.

    Both teams did there jersey & country proud.

    Hugh Bladen comment of the evening during the handbag sling after the game:

    “Get Bakkies in there, he will sort them out!”

  • 186.coherence: Reply to this comment

    Dominant aspect of the Bulls’ play:

    Goal kicking

    My prediction:

    Goal kicking

    Dominant aspect of the Cheetahs’ play:

    Poor discipline

    My prediction:

    Breakdown turnovers.

    I guess Heinrich Brussow becomes irrelevant when his team is giving away penalties.

  • 187.skopskiet: Reply to this comment

    Take Wian Du Preez and Nico Breedt and Lionel Mapoe and Richard or the other Strauss on tour. Maybe WP Nel too. You see Nel’s stats he’s only 98 kg little light for a TH. Gurthro is 118 kg in comparison.

    good selection, wonder how old nico breed is?

  • 189.skopskiet: Reply to this comment

    Ashley Johnson not a bad option for a tour spot too.

    Lets see who gets a call up.

  • 190.cab: Reply to this comment

    nah he’s older than bakkies, rather take sykes.

  • 191.skopskiet: Reply to this comment

    Locks and Props don’t have age limitations they mature around 30 and go on well for another few years after that Nico Breedt playing better rugby now than earlier in his career same as with Anton Van Zyl is already 29 but a good shout for a tour spot.

  • 192.Senga: Reply to this comment

    Another boring win!

  • 193.cab: Reply to this comment

    true, but bakkies is even younger than breedt, 31 is pushing the envelope even for a no 4.

  • 194.rugbygenius: Reply to this comment

    Unsung heroes of the game

    1.) Demas.

    2.) Kirchner
