Bulls v Blues

[Stargazer]

Papali'i on for Lamborn as well.

[Stargazer]

Try Tom Robinson from the pick & go.

Blues take the lead after Black's conversion: 14 - 15.

[Stargazer]

Failed drop goal attempt from Morne Steyn.

[Stargazer]

Matt Duffie replaces Narawa.

[Stargazer]

Great cross-kick from Black to Matt Duffie, who takes it very well. Great first touch! He offloads to Perofeta, who scores the try!

[Stargazer]

Black's kick hits the post; no conversion.

14 - 20 Blues after 60 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Sotutu penalised for tackling a player without the ball (early tackle). Tuipulotu gets some strapping (right ankle).

[Stargazer]

The Bulls replacement 10 has butchered two important kicks already. This could have been a Bulls' line-out close to the Blues' try line. Instead, it's a Blues scrum in the middle of the field.

[Stargazer]

Again a Blues' player penalised for tackling a player without the ball. This time it's Parsons.

[Stargazer]

Tu'inukuafe replaced by Lindenmuth. 67 minutes played.

[Stargazer]

Sotutu in trouble? Yep, yellow card for repeated infringement (dangerous tackle).

[Stargazer]

Hmmm. Not so sure about that one.

Parsons injured on the ground.

[Stargazer]

Could be a dislocated shoulder, or worse, broken collarbone.

Eklund comes on.

[Rebound]

@Stargazer a tackle only the ref saw

[Stargazer]

Try Bulls after a good scrum.

[African Monkey]

@Stargazer Hmm for all his good work this year that's his 2nd yellow this season.

[Stargazer]

The conversion is good and the Bulls are back in front: 21 - 20.

[sparky]

@Stargazer Akira Ioane wouldn't have given away a yellow there.

[Stargazer]

@African-Monkey Yeah, he is excellent in many ways, but he really needs to work on his tackling. Giving away too many penalties and collecting cards.

[African Monkey]

Hmmm looks like another irritating close loss coming up for the boys?
