Nice result in the end. The 14 points from penalty tries distorts the scoreline a bit, as I felt we still struggled to string the phases together. But missing quite a few key players so can't complain too much.

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

4 cracking games coming up. Let's get rhe beer in the fridge.

4......?


My kids side just finished their innings now. Not going to make the first game. Chasing 204 all out .Unless I get good reception for data

[bok_viking]

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.

[OomStruisbaai]

19,000. Munster started the way they finished in Cape Town. Holding possession

[OomStruisbaai]

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

[Sards]

Score lads

3 all.

Duanne Vermeulen 3-0 Elrigh Louw

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

[OomStruisbaai]

Bulls 3-9 Ulster 36 mins

[OomStruisbaai]

HT. Can Ulster keep their grip?

[FalseBayFC]

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

[bok_viking]

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. 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

[bok_viking]

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

[Chilli]

I'm enjoying this game

[Chilli]

Why kick that turnover ball away?

[FalseBayFC]

Another aimless kick from Zak Burger.

[OomStruisbaai]

Duanne again.

What do you expect when a lock tackles a midget. This is just bull shite

And the midget is dragging a frontrower along too

Players are going to have to learn to the legs.
