Bulls v Highlanders

[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.

nice try by the SMith trio.

Fletcher Smith looks handy, shame NOrthland managed to buggar that one up.

Bit surprised their hasn't been comment on Hometown Jacko giving the penalty try.

Looked yellow and penalty for sure, but "probable try"? He still had to off load to a supporting player with two defenders there from memory. Always a dubious call so can see why there aren't any complaints but I wouldn't have given it.

Oh, and Sid, the problem with Jackson is that he really isn't very good.

@taniwharugby have been keeping an eye on Darmacena at the Rebels,I wonder if we have missed a trick after watching Fletcher Smith
