[Draggs]

PSdT is returning to fitness. I hope Meyer gives him a few weeks to get up to speed.
Very timely considering Wentzels injury.

 

[TRF_heineken]

These fixtures are wrong... The Bulls are playing WP at Loftus

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

I know, still was still working on it, but fell asleep

 

[Gena_ZA]

Bulls up this weekend, nom nom

 

[Draggs]

Always a tough match in Kimberly, good time to bounce back, as Alan Partridge would say.

[Gena_ZA]

Gosh, will the Internationals one almost looses track of the importance of the CC, nice full day of rugga

 

[TRF_heineken]

I hope Lohan Jacobs gets some game time for the Bulls. He's a lot better than Paige and Snyman...

My Predictions:
Cheetahs by 5
Sharks by 8
Bulls by 3

 

[Gena_ZA]

Cheetahs by 3
Sharks by 9
WP by 12

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Cheetahs by 5
Griquas by 2
WP by 8

 

[dasNdanger]

Oh, ouch! A nasty injury to PJ Vermeulen in the Griquas/Sharks match. Looks like he broke his ankle or leg. Terrible way to fall!

Griquas winning atm, 17-11, just shy of half-time.


das

 

[Gena_ZA]

WP winning the Bullies at Loftus with 14 players, priceless

 

[TRF_heineken]

Congrats!!

Was not a good day for Bulls Supporters!!

At least Arsenal won!!

Arsenal won, Rangers won so all good for football.
Sharks away in Kimberly is a great result (one point! Somewhat makes up for the opening match).

EDIT. Province were at 14 for half the match and won by 11 away? Geez, Bulls need a solid regrouping, Province don't look outstanding. As dire as we were against them they only won by 7.

 

[Gena_ZA]

"non outstanding unbeaten team" says something about the rest of the teams I suppose

 

[Draggs]

Agree.
Not saying Province are kak, but they have pretty much got the job done and that's it. Top of the log is all that matters right now.
