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.

great tackle from Mapoe, but how good is FDP? that kick was great.
Mapoe and Hougaard have to be in the bok squad
October 31st, 2009 at 5:40 pm

Another forward pass to Brian.
October 31st, 2009 at 5:49 pm

October 31st, 2009 at 5:50 pm
The Cheetahs are really cashing in on their scrum dominance, as was predicted by many.
October 31st, 2009 at 5:51 pm
why isnt jaco engels playing forthe bulls has he retired ?
dam iam all out of klippies now for some rum

#30 Big Hit: Sh*t, how much more do you want them to use their backs?
October 31st, 2009 at 5:52 pm
what a soft try
October 31st, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Just goes to show how important scrum dominance is (not).
October 31st, 2009 at 5:52 pm
No way.
Geez FdP involved in all 3 tries.
Feeder State need to pick themselves up now.
Hey Dave I think that was a Forward Kick to Habana.
October 31st, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Bulls 21 – FS 0
October 31st, 2009 at 5:53 pm
#37 David: I only tuned in just before the first habana try, apols. But I reckon when they were dominating the Bulls scrum inside the 22 they should’ve launched a strike move, the ball was eventually turned over.
October 31st, 2009 at 5:53 pm
3 tries, its all over in 10 mins, bladdy cheetahs had 76 percent possession.
JL stepping like a hot-stepper, but its all over.

October 31st, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Guthro Steenkamp’s mobility and defensive work are amazing. Pity his scrumming is weak. Wish he was a hooker.
October 31st, 2009 at 5:58 pm

October 31st, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Well prove me wrong.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:02 pm
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.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:02 pm
blue bulle now blikseming much heralded cheetahs scrum – guthro is monstering wp.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:03 pm
Nice Zane.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:05 pm
Cheetahs starting to open them up a bit.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:06 pm

Very very well deserved.
Well done men.

October 31st, 2009 at 6:08 pm
#51 David: that’s what I meant by using the ball from the scrum. Good try, still think Bulls in for a long game, these Cheetahs don’t stop.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:09 pm
brilliant break, great to watch
October 31st, 2009 at 6:10 pm
Brüssow will always be Potgieter’s b.itch and just get slapped around. Lol.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:10 pm
strauss selfish there.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:11 pm
Great defence.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Man great gees. Courage. Testicles.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
Eish, this game is finally getting a bit better. It would have been a bit boring if the Bulls scored 50+ points.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:12 pm
wow what a kick, 10 points the difference
October 31st, 2009 at 6:13 pm
deur die kol .. die blou bul is besig om te kak.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:14 pm
poor take JLP
October 31st, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Sorry Cab. I love Guthro but he’s getting monstered as well as Kruger.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:15 pm
good scrum Cheetahs
October 31st, 2009 at 6:16 pm
This is dangerous
October 31st, 2009 at 6:17 pm
Guthro doing well, Cheetahs pressure coming through the loosehead side

An assassin. Thank God he’s a Bok.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:18 pm
morne steyn, gives them some much need immodium respite.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:18 pm
Morne droppie, 27-12. Cheetahs will be glad it isn’t a try, I think the Cheetahs get stronger as the game goes on, full of running.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:19 pm
#85 cab: Whatever’s going on at 1,2,3 – the scoreboard is all Blue.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:20 pm
5 tries, a drop and a penalty, what a half.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:20 pm
#85 cab: that’s how I see it too, the kid WP is great in the loose but Guthro is pushing him up into the air Vickery stylee
October 31st, 2009 at 6:20 pm
#90 SodaJoe:
ja nee, its that Liefling **** they play, visiting teams are terrified.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:21 pm
#90 Knersboy: lol good point, been a heck of a half of rugby great advert for the game
October 31st, 2009 at 6:24 pm
great game so far
October 31st, 2009 at 6:25 pm
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.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:26 pm
kaplan should’ve never been made referee, why is he always consultitng victor?
October 31st, 2009 at 6:28 pm
#96 Transformation: Kaplans reffing well imo
October 31st, 2009 at 6:29 pm
#95 skopskiet:
“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.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:30 pm
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.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:33 pm
Bulls 30 – FS 14
October 31st, 2009 at 6:34 pm
#99 skopskiet:
I guess that’s a good point. The Bulls are lucky the Cheetahs had bad tactics to begin with. Now it will be interesting to see if the Cheetahs can turn it around.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:34 pm
30-14 pen
October 31st, 2009 at 6:36 pm
tryyyyy, Bulls scrum mashed

brussow brilliant
lekker
October 31st, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Crickey, the Cheetah’s front row is making a big statement
October 31st, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Kaplan having a kak game giving Habana first try when Fdp pass was about 3 mt forward. Also giving Bulls marginal breakdown calls all game long. Must be a gold watch in it somewhere.
Cheetah’s going to f.up these bully brekers big time. Kyk maar net.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:37 pm
‘Os had daggers in his eyes’ = skinstad.
its over for the bulls.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:38 pm
#107 skopskiet: was marginal forward pass I thought, but where was the touch-judges call?

October 31st, 2009 at 6:39 pm
Im a big sharks supporter, but the Cheetah’s are on fire. What a great spectacle this is
October 31st, 2009 at 6:39 pm
30-24 JLP drop-goal, Brussow’s refusal to die with the ball was awesome
October 31st, 2009 at 6:39 pm
poep poep poep … hier kom die tahs.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:39 pm
Try Uys!!!!
October 31st, 2009 at 6:40 pm
SKOPKIET,
Kaplan is having a great game.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:40 pm
what a try that would’ve been
Bladen a Bulls fan ’stop stop!’ haha
October 31st, 2009 at 6:40 pm
Naka must be eating his fingers
October 31st, 2009 at 6:41 pm
What did I tell you Kaplan pulling Fs back for certain try but couldn’t see the Habana forward pass early on. Should have been Cheetah’s in lead by now.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:41 pm
Brussow must be the best player in the country. Surely!!
October 31st, 2009 at 6:42 pm
#118 skopskiet: ball went forward in fairness
October 31st, 2009 at 6:42 pm
Skopskiet,
You are acting like a Pommie!
October 31st, 2009 at 6:43 pm
that wee joubert really gets teh backline moving.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:44 pm
wtf was that JLP?
October 31st, 2009 at 6:44 pm
ashely johnson is better than spies today! Hands down!
October 31st, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Bulls 33 – FS 24
October 31st, 2009 at 6:44 pm
Kom Fs druk die donners. Here goes Kaplan dishing up another M. Steyn 3 points.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:45 pm
#124 Transformation:
Spies just stole a lineout, got a breakdown turnover, and he’s beating tacklers. How can Ashley Johnson be having a better game?
October 31st, 2009 at 6:46 pm
yessus, steyn is a robot.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Skopskiet,
You make me laugh. I think that Potgieter held on for about 5 seconds…damn Kaplan.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:46 pm
Hate Morne Steyn in Blue, love him in Green n Gold
October 31st, 2009 at 6:47 pm
Skopskiet – see the penalty Kaplan gave to the Cheetah’s… The *******! Muhahahahahaha
October 31st, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Steyn missed…
October 31st, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Shut it Bullet you the only Pom pom round here.
Ms miss the beginning of the end for Bulls
October 31st, 2009 at 6:49 pm
needless slap on Habana lol
October 31st, 2009 at 6:49 pm
He MISSES!
October 31st, 2009 at 6:49 pm
holy **** – he missed one.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:49 pm
Adriaan Straaus is playing a great game as well.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Skopskiet, feel like complaining again? Its been almost 10 posts since you last whinged about nothing?
October 31st, 2009 at 6:53 pm
Cheetahs starting to look a little tired to me
October 31st, 2009 at 6:54 pm
BIG HIT,
Tough to play at that level for a full 80. Unless you are Brussouw
October 31st, 2009 at 6:54 pm
brussow is player of the year!
October 31st, 2009 at 6:55 pm
Skopskiet – did you see Kaplan run into the ball…Sabotage I tell you. Call Oregon Hoskins and tell him! Muhahahahahaha
October 31st, 2009 at 6:56 pm
TRANSFORMATION – Totally agree. I think that Morne challenges that as well, purely for his BMT versus the Lions.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:56 pm
Brussow looks injured! Rush him to the nearest hospital, now!
October 31st, 2009 at 6:58 pm
mapoe is a BOK written all over him….simon borchardt must eat his words
October 31st, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Playing France in couple weeks time and these guys f.ng each other up here both Brussow and Mapoe limping now, not good for Bok’s.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:58 pm
Juries on?
October 31st, 2009 at 6:58 pm
**** mapoe looks the real deal, could have been good for the tour.
October 31st, 2009 at 6:58 pm
First time I have really watched Mapoe, and the good thing is that he goes looking for work, and does not just sit on his wing.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:00 pm
SKPOOIE – a post without complaining?
Well done , loose that Pommie tag!
October 31st, 2009 at 7:00 pm
Bulls 36 – FS 24
October 31st, 2009 at 7:01 pm
that might be the game
October 31st, 2009 at 7:01 pm
surely u cant penalise someone for giving a great wedgie…
October 31st, 2009 at 7:02 pm
CAB,
Never seen that it the rule book.
SKOPSKIET – is this not just a case of bad officiating from Kaplan?
October 31st, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Fs shot their bolt early on no more gas left in the tank. Only prick with gas left in his gab is this twit Bullet.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:03 pm
Great comeback Skopskiet, I enjoyed that one!
October 31st, 2009 at 7:05 pm
#155 skopskiet: yeah those soft tries at the start killed them, they’d be right in it now otherwise
October 31st, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Hope Mapoe is good to tour. That lad is the next Habana in the making.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Whoever said that FS supporters had no sense of humour did not know what they were talking about.
Now Skoppie – go have a beer, tuck your shirt into your sarafi suit and patrol the fence of the farm.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:06 pm
Hopefully Mapoe is going to Europe. At least one game…

Kaplan denying Cheetah’s yet again certainly a gold watch in this one.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:07 pm
Skopskiet,
Seriously now, when has Kaplan denied the Cheetah’s?
October 31st, 2009 at 7:08 pm
Kaplan just killed the cats
October 31st, 2009 at 7:08 pm
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.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:09 pm
I would say that Straus has just killed the Cats
October 31st, 2009 at 7:09 pm
Kaplan just ruined the rest of the game congratulations Jonathan.
Cheers for Kaplan. Its all over now baby blue.
Currie cup goes to Tshwane
October 31st, 2009 at 7:09 pm
SKOPSKIET,
Was it not the players breaking the rules who ruined the rest of the game?
October 31st, 2009 at 7:09 pm
If not for Kaplan’s cheating, the Bulls sould have won by 50!
October 31st, 2009 at 7:10 pm
You can’t criticise a ref for making the right decisions. That’s his job.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:12 pm
COHERENCE,
No room for logic here with SKOPSKIET.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:13 pm
lol, wp nel like a little sherman tank.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:13 pm
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.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:13 pm
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?
October 31st, 2009 at 7:14 pm
It’s blame the ref time!! Sponsored by: Cheetahs supporters.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:15 pm
Game set and match!
October 31st, 2009 at 7:15 pm
SKOPSKIET – keep your pommie hands off our Blou Bulle Poppies.
COHERENCE – post 174? Not sure I understand what you mean.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Yip, well played Bulls, helluva season, probably the best team in the world at the moment.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:16 pm
I would like to see Nico Breedt in the Bok squad as a replacement for Bakkies, is he too old?
October 31st, 2009 at 7:16 pm
Thanks for coming Bully brekers got lucky just like in Cape Town two weeks ago.
Brekers lift the cup. Too bad.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Sore losers? Sheeez FS are a sad bunch – wanting to fight after the final whistle
October 31st, 2009 at 7:18 pm
#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.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Well done Bulls. Cheetahs – you went down with courage.
Both teams did there jersey & country proud.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:18 pm
Hugh Bladen comment of the evening during the handbag sling after the game:
“Get Bakkies in there, he will sort them out!”
October 31st, 2009 at 7:19 pm
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.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:23 pm
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.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:24 pm
#187 skopskiet:
good selection, wonder how old nico breed is?
October 31st, 2009 at 7:29 pm
Ashley Johnson not a bad option for a tour spot too.
Lets see who gets a call up.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:29 pm
nah he’s older than bakkies, rather take sykes.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:35 pm
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.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Another boring win!
October 31st, 2009 at 7:38 pm
true, but bakkies is even younger than breedt, 31 is pushing the envelope even for a no 4.
October 31st, 2009 at 7:40 pm
Unsung heroes of the game
1.) Demas.
2.) Kirchner
October 31st, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Damn, the Dark Side wins again.
