Bulls v Highlanders

[ShadowTrooper]

Aside from the solitary try, there's been some pretty dumb decisions made and penalties given away by the Landers this half

[Stargazer]

@shadowtrooper Yeah, disappointing. Lucky not to concede another try just before the break.

Fixed

[SidBarret]

@stargazer since when is having Jesse Kriel in the opposing team "luck"

[ShadowTrooper]

2nd half starts Pretty much like the 1st...A Smith & F Smith combine for a brilliant run in under the sticks

[Stargazer]

Great try by the Smiths. Sops converts. Landers now lead 20 -14

[Stargazer]

Frizell and Lentjes have come on.

[SidBarret]

Jackson is a fucken cheat

[Stargazer]

62 minutes played, and Aaron Smith already replaced by Hammington. Why so early?

[SidBarret]

@sidbarret wow, no talk even

[Stargazer]

Try Jesse Kriel. It's 26 all with the kick to come.

[Stargazer]

Pollard was never going to miss that kick. Bulls lead 28 - 26 with less than 4 minutes to play.

[SidBarret]

@stargazer poor option from the HL prop to come in

[Stargazer]

Time's up and the Bulls give away a penalty. Kickable. Pressure is on Sopoaga now.

[Stargazer]

The kick is good and the Highlanders win! Wow; didn't expect that.

[Tordah]

Landers showed some good goal line defence but they were very lucky not to concede a yellow card when the ball was right on their line and they weren't letting go

[SidBarret]

@tordah I did not agree with that call

[SidBarret]

All up the Bulls should have won, but the only backs that should get paid are Pollard and Gellant.

[SidBarret]

@tordah it was Sap who was the man offending

[akan004]

Surprised they didn't hook Lomax earlier. He was being dominated by his opposite at scrum time for most of the game and doesn't look to be Super Rugby quality just yet. Really don't see what all the hype about him was about.

Sopoaga played well apart from kicking the ball away with 3 minutes to go when his team was 2 points behind.

Pollard was outstanding. Controlled that game beautifully and was easily the best player on the field. He's definitely world class.
