Chiefs vs Bulls

[No Quarter]

@Bovidae the article says they're not quite ready, so I assume they'll be back next week.

Well the DMac at 10 experiment got shelved pretty quickly.

Shame that.

Don't think DMac at 10 is an experiment as much as Falcon at 10 is.

Will be interested in how the younfmg fulla steps up. No pressure Tiaan.

[Crucial]

I think it’s a balance thing and beat possible is Falcon at 10/DMac at 15
This has to be preferable to DMac at 10 and ‘has this person ever played at fullback before?’
DMac will also have the responsibility to take control when he feels the need and I think we will see a fair bit of swapping around

[Duluth]

Bulls: Warrick Gelant, Travis Ismaiel, Jesse Kriel, Burger Odendaal (c), Divan Rossouw, Handre Pollard, Andre Warner, Hanro Liebenberg, Thembelani Bholi, Roelof Smit, Lood de Jager, RG Snyman, Trevor Nyakane, Jaco Visagie, Pierre Schoeman

Reserves: Adriaan Strauss, Lizo Gqoboka, Conraad van Vuuren, Jason Jenkins/Tim Agaba, Marco van Staden, Embrose Papier, Manie Libbok, Johnny Kotze

@crucial that Alaimalo fella would probably go alright at FB...finding a competent winger would be easier than a FB or 10?

[KiwiMurph]

@booboo didn't Falcon already play 10 in the Blues game?

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Yes. He wore Stevenson's 15 jersey, but played at 10 and Dmac was moved to fullback.

[Bovidae]

I think they are rewarding the backline that played against the Blues. As in that game, DMac and Falcon will alternate as DMac spent a lot of time at first receiver.

The article has been updated as neither were mentioned in the original article, hence my query.

Bulls up by 7 thanks to a good try. Chiefs a bit lost on defense in the midfield.

[gt12]

Terrible by the Chiefs. Kick it away and give away a penalty - second time they were late. Yikes.

[gt12]

Fa’auli in after a bit of good work and some luck.

[Stargazer]

Sloppy defence by both teams. Fa'auli making up for his mistake that lead to the Bulls' try by scoring one at the other side of the field. Good grubber from Falcon. 7 all

[gt12]

Christ, now ALB is off with a headknock

[Stargazer]

@gt12 ABs are dropping like flies.

[gt12]

Bulls really having a go, but the Chiefs keep on infringing. Another penalty.

[gt12]

Terrible at Maul defense.

[gt12]

Looks like the Bulls are in again. Good effort by the Bulls winger, pretty weak by DMac.

[Tim]

The Chiefs better run them around and tire them out!

[gt12]

@tim

They’re running plenty, not much defense out there.

Pollard with a cracking kick. 7-14.
