14-28 after 19 mins… both teams trying to compete with clock rfc. Defence is apparently optional today

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

14 - 35 after 24 minutes. This could end up as a bonkers score if they keep it up

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

this like a bye week college drunk practice

 

[saulan]

Bulls just look completely uninterested or exhausted. Complete lack of commitment and such poor defence. The only players that seem to be trying are Willie le Roux and Papier.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Can they keep this pace up into the second half in this weather? It's nuts!

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Can they keep this pace up into the second half in this weather? It's nuts!

Scoring wise I think they will. Players are only running when they have the ball. Bristol just walked to that restart and I don't think we'll see much effort on defense.

 

[saulan]

Lol everyone looks gassed to be honest

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

oh come on they didn't pre-engage they just had mini heat strokes

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This definitely looks like a PT

 

[Rinkadink]

Amazing how the TV director found all those reverse angles for that one!

It's rigged.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Could be a bit of a turning point, down to 14 in a game this open could be bad

 

[Brown Bottle]

That was daft. Better to let him score.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Heward's going to be begging them to give him some 5m run ins instead of 50, he looks dead haha

What a bounce on that kick

 

[TRF_Olyy]

75pts at half time surely has to be a record, and by quite some distance?

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

does world rugby ban saline IVs?

this is great, maybe global warming will be good for rugby as a spectacle

 

[Rinkadink]

No multiple slow motion replays of the Bulls player gathering the ball on the line? Can't think why

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Inches from a front row 50/22

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some incredible bounces of the ball for Bristol today

 

[Rinkadink]

Should have been a penalty try?

 

[Rinkadink]

Surprise no replay of the potential PT but we get the slowmo of ball just hitting ground before going out on KO.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Some incredible bounces of the ball

And for Bulls now

 

[Rinkadink]

Hit and chase doesn't exist apparently.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

75pts at half time surely has to be a record, and by quite some distance?

And 110 at full time, crazy - 3rd highest ever, apparently

Not sure there's ever been a set of fans this happy after seeing their side concede 50

 

[Rinkadink]

 

[big ginger 8]

JJ Kenny world player of the year?

 

[big ginger 8]

2 back three gone in one sequence is not good for us today.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I'll be so ****** off if Reiko makes me like him. He's playing class

 

[Jimbo]

How’s he staying on that’s mad!

 

[Jimbo]

How can you be so crap aerially in 2026, it’s madness I thought ROG would have expected and catered better for the aerial bombardment
