Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria - 17:10 GMT, 21/04/2012

​

Vodacom Bulls team: Zane Kirchner, Akona Ndungane, JJ Engelbrecht, Wynand Olivier, Bjorn Basson, Morne Steyn, Francois Hougaard, Pierre Spies (captain), Jacques Potgieter, CJ Stander, Wilhelm Steenkamp, Juandre Kruger, Werner Kruger, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Dean Greyling/Dawie Steyn.

Replacements: Bongi Mbonambi, Frik Kirsten, Gerrit-Jan van Velze, Arno Botha, Jano Vermaak, Louis Fouche, Johann Sadie.

Haven't seen the Brumbies team for this match though.

Hopefully another 5-pointer for the Bulls, especially with the team not changing that much. Interesting to see Gerrit-Jan van Velze in as lock cover.

Hopefully Dean Greyling will pass the late fitness test to play this game!!

 

[Bull]

I hope Dean is fit but sooner than later Dawie Steyn has to get a chance.

Bulls nearly saw their asses in the last 15
Still lots of work if they want the title

I'm not so sure the Bulls conservative approach was the best option at times, I would have liked to see them kick for a the corner and maybe try to score a few more tries but a win is a win I suppose.

 

[TRF_heineken]

in the end we did enough to clinch the win...

The bulla did well with the transition of some new staff members coming into the fray with some guys joining the Bok camp.

The Brumbies did well to come back there at the end

 

[Gena_ZA]

The number 8 from the Brumbies looks like a actor in a Cowboys vs. Red Indian movie, and he plays like one as well.
At one stage he knocked on a high ball and gave himself a fist in the face

Going to be fun seeing him and Ashley Johnson crashing at full speed come Saturday

 

[Bull]

Brumbies are playing the Lions this week.

Yeah, make it Josh Strauss then. Just as big a block of meat. Maybe slightly less pace though.
