But great to see the backline stretch their legs a bit. I really like Kok, brings a lot to the team and glad he scored such a cracking try.

Ox Nche just continues to get better and better. And probably the best game from Pepsi I've seen.

Let's hope it's another clean sweep for the SA teams.
standout for me was the Sharks' defence

Nice amount of people in Loftus.now this feels more like normal life again. Think the atmosphere will be cracking today. Tge Bulls u20 just demolished the Cheetahs in front of quite a sizable crowd that came in early.

When will the Bulls realize to value possession and stop kicking up and unders? Ulster is very good fielding high balls.

Duane is a legend. Must be playing out his skin if he is dominating the best loose forward prospect locally

Bulls lacking accuracy. Up and under by Chris Smith too long and easy mark by catcher. Zak Burger with some kak passes. Unforced errors.

Hopefully the Bulls will cut out mistakes this 2nd half. One thing though... Im not sure if the ref can see straight though. Only one of Ulster's lineout throws were straight. One of them happened right in front of me and it was as straight as a dog's hindleg yet the ref saw nothing. :lolno: otherwise Ulster has been very good controlling possession. Louw the prospect still have a thing or 2 to learn from Thor. The crowd has been great though, real party atmosphere on the East stand

I guess the Bulls players are not used to playing in front of crowds anymore, they had a bit of nervousness to their play.
