Bulls tried as hard as possible to lose that one. Bulls winger was the difference between the sides in the end.

Munster did well to get a bonus point.

What was the attendance at the Bulls game? Looked terrible. For the middle of summer. Will the crowds get better? Why cant they play at smaller grounds.

Leinster v Ulster on now.

Only 2000 allowed. Hope they give 50% but they fear a next peak.

Will be sad if the Bulls don't sell 2000 tickets.

Ok, im genuinely interested. Will they sell 20,000 tickets for Bulls v Munster outside of covid times? The return fixture in Munster would get 20,000

Surely. They went through a hard dip but since Jake White took over they are back on winning ways. Loftus and Cape Town get the best attendances

Support the Stormers. It's a great underdog story. Performing way above their pay grade

Rain, even just a dribble till 12. Zebre are going to love playing on a wet surface.
We have just called off a 50 over cricket game because the surface won't dry today. Not even chance for a 20 over.
Looks like it's going to be fun today for the Stormers.
Although that game is at 6

Even when the Bulls were playing shit, they managed to sell 25k - 30k tickets for a match. I suspect that when we are allowed to attend matches in the stadiums again they will be packed…at least for a couple of rounds.

The Lions biggest supporter boxer Jimmy Abbott was even bigger before he lost weight and tragedy died a few months ago. He sat 4 seats full.

He's a 12. Been saying it right from the beginning. The flyhalf and fullback positions are not for him.

Most of the Stormers players will feel right at home in Stellenbosch.
