Bulls v Blues

[Stargazer]

@Rebound Isn't that Egon Seconds?

[Stargazer]

Ruru sent off for cynical play, just before the break.

[Stargazer]

Try Specman?

[Stargazer]

Nope, foot in touch.

@Stargazer I'm not one to pick on refs but yeah he's a straight out cheat.

Thanks for the updates guys. I'm in Japan and it's not on in my hotel room so I'm not watching.

Who's standing out for the blues so far? If there is anyone haha.

[Stargazer]

Try Morne Steyn. No doubt about this one.
Steyn can't convert his own try.

HT: Bulls 11 - 8 Blues

[Stargazer]

@African-Monkey No one really standing out. Scrum not going too well, esp Mafileo.

Sotutu, Robinson, Telea not too bad; Black better than Perofeta at 10, but hasn't done anything significant. Ruru his usual self.

It's raining so very slippery. Both teams struggling with it.

[Stargazer]

Sotutu penalised for a dangerous tackle (arm around the neck). Bulls going for a line-out at about 10m from Blues try line.

[Stargazer]

Not straight.

[African Monkey]

@Stargazer Thanks mate much appreciated. I will admit I did cringe when I heard Ruru got sent from the field haha. I guess our bench will play a big part in this match and Tu'ungafasi will get introduced soon enough if Mafileo's struggling.

[Stargazer]

Great run from Tuipulotu, but Robinson (?) penalised. Steyn kicks the penalty.

14 - 8 Bulls

[Stargazer]

Great break from Sotutu; Narawa scores his first try for the Blues. TMO reviewing it. Pass Sotutu looks forward.

[Stargazer]

No try. Pass was forward (the right call).

[Stargazer]

Ruru back on the field, btw.

[sparky]

Blues only making 71% of tackles.

[Stargazer]

Tu'ungafasi on for Mafileo, and Carroll for Pierce. 50 minutes played.

[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.
