That was much better by our young Bulls team. And I'm so glad that SP Marais played well against the franchise which nearly forced him into early retirement.

With that said, the Kings earned my respect. They never stopped trying, kept on fighting and defending like trojans the whole game. And that first half had to take a lot out of both teams. 8 minutes of extra time and during that time they mostly scrummed on the Bulls 5-metre line.

what are the thoughts on Jamba Ulengo?

i remember his name from the blitzboks a few years ago but hadn't heard anything about him since then until this season, looking at some of the highlights he looks like a decent prospect.

He had a very good CC, think he was the Blue Bulls top try scorer.

I quite like him, he has a good combination of strength and speed. And he's been working very hard on getting his all round game improved. Like @Bull said, he had a great Currie Cup and was our leading try scorer. But what I like about him is that he's not afraid to look for work and even steals balls at the ruck like Habana did before he was a superstar.
