That was a great day out. Great 2nd half by the Bulls. Crowd was great. After the game the Bulls players came to say thank you to the crowd as well. Jake must have had a great HT speech. Lots of braais getting lit on the streets around Loftus. Back to the days of old 😁

EdinBokke looking ordinary at the moment. Immelman their best player so far.

Schoeman got a Sadie in the scrum. Lions look like they are lifting their tempo

The Lions number 18 is the fattest rugby player I have ever seen.

Thats (at least) twice an embra defender has rushed out of the line creating a gap.

We're playing very conservatively, I don't really understand why we are doing it, we are likely to tire later on so surely it would be more sensible to have really gone after a good lead in the first half?

Having said that the Lions look to be blowing too.

Darcy Graham had a couple of very uncharacteristic butter fingered moments in that half

Yeah not sure what it is with him. Liability on defense as he is very slow around the field and does not seem to have that much strength in the scrums. His weight might be the only thing that makes it difficult to push him back

Expect the Lions to lift in the 2nd half. They are unlucky to lost Sadie who had a good game. Morne vd Berg the best 9 in SA at the moment.

Indeed. Great play by Edinburgh. Lions lucky. Amazing defensive effort by Horn.

Don't think that was a yellow. Need neutral TMOs as well as Refs

EdinBokke use their Saffers to slow down the game.
