Looks like another game of optional defense for the Bulls. Like against Freestate last week. A case how many tries you score, we will score more :lol:

Goosen having another fantastic game. The Boks loss not to have him as a backup on tour i think.

Money vs youngsters, the outcome was decided long before the kick off.

Well done Bulls, you've got a good team. Now let us see you perform abroad.

I think young guys are benefitting a lot from having some good experienced older guys around. The young guys look a lot better than 2 years ago.

Definitely helps to have the money to get those experienced guys back in SA. Hope as the new competition gets traction there will be more money in all 4 teams and we get more SA players back.

Great post. We've lost the seasoned veterans playing next to the youngsters. Bulls have them back and the results are showing.

Leinster is going to be a very tough ask first up. So hope they will put a good showing the first season, im cautious though, i think our teams might need a season to get into it, so will not be surprised if we get shocked first off.
Unfortunately it seems that a lot of players coming to the Bulls are onlybaround for a few months before heading back to overseas teams. Even Bulls money is not e ough to fight against the exchange rate :lol:

The lost against the Italian team was a shock. Bulls are much better than that. We need to hit this comp with a bang to ignite excitement and rivalries.

Yup I doubt Pollard will be back anytime soon, Bulls are far away from being able to pay him the salary he earns in France. Luckily Goosen is basically given them a similar option.

Not sure what happened in that game, just looked like the Bulls did not want to play that game. The ran around like headless chickens. I agree we really need our teams to get going in the comp asap. I hope at least 2 of our teams will be in finals contention or close by end of season, even if they end up not winning it.

The Bulls look fantastic in the CC against pretty average to shit opposition.

Let's watch them in October or November in Glasgow in Ireland 🇮🇪.

The last 3 tries WP conceded were off errors from trying to run out of their own half. Try to run, get isolated or lose the ball, scrum, penalty lineout, concede a try.

It looks great 1 out of 6 times when it comes off. The other 5 times you concede points.

Box kicking out of your own half is a better option, but then the fans complain. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Is voing to be tough for all the SA teams to play there specially during the cold, wet winter times. Hopefully they learn quickly.

On the whole a pretty entertaining game. Good Friday evening. If only it was possible to get to the stadium.
