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.

Crickey, the Cheetah’s front row is making a big statement
31 Oct 2009, 18:37 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.
31 Oct 2009, 18:37 pm
‘Os had daggers in his eyes’ = skinstad.
its over for the bulls.

31 Oct 2009, 18:39 pm
30-24 JLP drop-goal, Brussow’s refusal to die with the ball was awesome

Bladen a Bulls fan ‘stop stop!’ haha
31 Oct 2009, 18:40 pm
Naka must be eating his fingers
31 Oct 2009, 18:41 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.
31 Oct 2009, 18:41 pm
Brussow must be the best player in the country. Surely!!
31 Oct 2009, 18:42 pm
#118 skopskiet: ball went forward in fairness
31 Oct 2009, 18:42 pm

31 Oct 2009, 18:44 pm
Kom Fs druk die donners. Here goes Kaplan dishing up another M. Steyn 3 points.
31 Oct 2009, 18:45 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?
31 Oct 2009, 18:46 pm
yessus, steyn is a robot.
31 Oct 2009, 18:46 pm
Skopskiet,
You make me laugh. I think that Potgieter held on for about 5 seconds…damn Kaplan.
31 Oct 2009, 18:46 pm
Hate Morne Steyn in Blue, love him in Green n Gold
31 Oct 2009, 18:47 pm
Skopskiet – see the penalty Kaplan gave to the Cheetah’s… The *******! Muhahahahahaha
31 Oct 2009, 18:49 pm
Steyn missed…
31 Oct 2009, 18:49 pm
Shut it Bullet you the only Pom pom round here.
Ms miss the beginning of the end for Bulls
31 Oct 2009, 18:49 pm
needless slap on Habana lol
31 Oct 2009, 18:49 pm
He MISSES!
31 Oct 2009, 18:49 pm
holy **** – he missed one.
31 Oct 2009, 18:49 pm
Adriaan Straaus is playing a great game as well.
31 Oct 2009, 18:50 pm
Skopskiet, feel like complaining again? Its been almost 10 posts since you last whinged about nothing?
31 Oct 2009, 18:53 pm
Cheetahs starting to look a little tired to me
31 Oct 2009, 18:54 pm
BIG HIT,
Tough to play at that level for a full 80. Unless you are Brussouw
31 Oct 2009, 18:54 pm
brussow is player of the year!
31 Oct 2009, 18:55 pm
Skopskiet – did you see Kaplan run into the ball…Sabotage I tell you. Call Oregon Hoskins and tell him! Muhahahahahaha
31 Oct 2009, 18:56 pm
TRANSFORMATION – Totally agree. I think that Morne challenges that as well, purely for his BMT versus the Lions.
31 Oct 2009, 18:56 pm
Brussow looks injured! Rush him to the nearest hospital, now!
31 Oct 2009, 18:58 pm
mapoe is a BOK written all over him….simon borchardt must eat his words
31 Oct 2009, 18:58 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.
31 Oct 2009, 18:58 pm
Juries on?
31 Oct 2009, 18:58 pm
**** mapoe looks the real deal, could have been good for the tour.
31 Oct 2009, 18:58 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.
