Just waiting for thr exhaustion to set in
Well the Bulls changed 10 from the Wed. game, so they might make it. Strange to be in such an empty stadiym. But good to be at a live game again 😁
Check the bench....the rest are all there.
Geez. I am so excited to see the Bulls playing rugby like this
Bench is ok, only play about 20-30 minutes. Very nice to see the bulls running

This is embarrassing horseshit from the Scarlets. Sack Peel and his inept support team, it's been a fucking disaster.

Consolation try as soon as I type the above ... the opinion remains.

I thought they had a good losing game against the Sharks. This is a completely different performance

You're right Sards, against the Sharks they were certainly competitive, but on this dreadful showing, Bulls should get to 60. We are capable of the occasional bit of flair, but by fuck, the defence is absolutely shocking and glacial. Grrr

Give it a chance. Bulls are going to fade last quarter.

The Scarlets have been bad, no doubt about that.

But you’ll learn that sometimes, on the highveld, the Bulls are just unbeatable. They go into this frenzied, rampage and it is just impossible to get any momentum going.

While your guys are trying to suck air through a straw they just stampede over and over and over until half your team is broken and the remaining half is just trying to catch a breath.

They seem to be in one of those moods today. Luckily their lineout is misfiring or it would’ve been worse.

Bulls must at least put 50 up. Will be perfect if the Lions beat Munster.

Appreciate the sentiment Sards, and yes, you have a point, but ... How far away is this Bulls team tonight from a preferred starting XV ?

So that was a nice night out. Only nice thing about 2000 people. You get out very quickly and no heavy traffic :lol: But 50% stadiums cannot come soon enough. No matter how much people try to make a noise, it just disappears in a big stadium. I hope the Bulls can carry forward some of this momentum once the 6 nations players return.

I can see why the Bulls let Vermeulen go. Louw was immense.

Very well done Bulls. I thought they had shot their load against the Sharks CC side. How mistaken was I.

Geez....the Sharks CC side could take most of the cellar dwellers. That's how poor it is from 11 to 16. You could honestly trim this to 10 competitive sides and eliminate the mismatches.

That's their best side. Basically the same team played Wednesday so these boys are superfit. Even at their age. White has obviously been working on this.

Let's see what the Lions can dish up.
Not very confident of them doing much more than getting a hiding

Lions look like losing this match before they ran on the field. No passion, just going through the motions

Senatla also in great form. Just when the Lions look like coming back, Munster score.

High tide, time for a swim.
