        Is this the smallest Super rugby crowd of all time?

          I don't know, but you can hear every little word both of them are saying

            The condition of the ground is not great.

            What a try for the Landers.

              that was pretty funny just now with the ball scratching the dead ball line and Banks standing there pointing at it so the TJ would see

                surreal, both teams look exhausted just before halftime, heavy conditions, water on the park, longish grass, muddy, highlanders should fillet the Bulls in the second half

                  refereeing performance was very good so far IMO, really let the game flow and narrated the little decisions / non-decisions. A few forward passes or knock-ons maybe wrong, but that's minor to the overall performance

                    yep, mostly very good hands, but 59 kicks tells the story

                        Bulls score after Faddes gets an unlucky bounce from a Bulls grubber. 10-10

                          I think the Bulls should forget about using their backs.

                            terrible hairstyles seem to run in the Jantjies family, as Tony (Elton's little brother) looks like the work of a mad hairdresser's.

                                Stupid from Naholo and a deserved red. No doubt people on here will try and blame the ref for his decision.

                                  what! a joke! really stupid decision on Naholo, red card
                                  he was going for the spilt ball, he didn'tchange his line to hit the Bulls player
                                  sh*t local reffing in SA

                                    I'm not so sure that was a clear red. Lots of theatrics in the fall of that Bulls' player. He also seemed to fall onto Naholo's shoulder.

                                      I was wondering whether Naholo was purely going for the ball, because his hands / arms pointed in that direction, but he then looked at the Bulls player instead of the ball. Red is OK I think

                                        Aaron Smith has been very disappointing, he should worry about the ball himself, not pointing at the ref and not doing anything

                                          It was a clear red only a biased kiwi would think otherwise.

                                            He shouts and makes gestures like he's panicking. Totally losing his cool.

                                                  A shoulder charge into the head is always gonna be a red it's not a hard concept to understand.

                                                    Now THAT should be a red. Diving into the pile of bodies, straight with his shoulder to the face.

                                                        And it is red. Way more deserved than Naholo.

                                                                                  about naholo red, I could see yellow, just. But the Bulls player spilt the ball and Naholo went for the ball and caught him in the head with a strong challenge. He was definitely targeting the ball.
