@PrickBoks going South(PrickBoks going South)-135: In this case, the kicking game deserves to be praised because it got the job done in what was always going to be a very tricky fixture. It is interesting that if the kicking game did not work on the night, everybody would have been here to level their criticism. It was however, very effective and might well have proved the difference between the two teams. The game wasn't as exciting as it could have been, but it is credit where credit is due.

Well done Bulls. Deserved winners. I was actually quite pleased JP Pietersen knocked the ball close to the line because the Sharks first try definitely had a forward pass and I prefer to see my team win legitimately.

Wasn’t a great game, but the Bulls did what was needed. If you are going to play such undisciplined rugby against the Bulls, then Morne Steyn will punish you.

Sharks must learn from this moving forward.

WTF? Were anybody else watching the same game I was watching? The Bulls spent the first half taking it far to the sides and back. they tired teh hell out of teh Sharks first with their superior conditioning.

The Sharks defence was just very good, thats all. Well, not so good they did not give away penalties…. and we made them pay for those. Its easy to makle a team look good as a coach – tell your players to give away penalties rather than tries. and then blame the ref! Fact is the Bulls pressured the Sharks into those peanuts.

I agree with you willie. As a 19 year old he played a fine test at 10 against Wales…..and not such a bad test against France. But we lost that one, so our media crucified him.

Not a super talent, but a damn solid player with a great pass. He should have been left at 10.

And I have to agree with JohnPaul, the Bools game was disappointing. We learned….again…in the RWC , that a team needs backline skills to use good ball. What we saw in Pamplona was just more of the same old tactics that make us the least appreciated rugby super power. Hell it’s not as if we don’t have fast young backs to coach.

The Sharks were a lot more threatening and direct when Bosman played 10. Hope he gets more game time there and less at 12, which has ruined his career IMO.

In fact, the Sharks have traditionally done well with a strong 10 attacking the gain line (Honiball, James).

Lambie will become that player but he’s not quite there yet.

@RL(RL)-55: so 46,000 turned up at Loftus...what else is there to do in Pretoria??? nothing I guess, all you have there is one rugby Team. And I have to disagree with the local Derbies here in NZ and AUS, they are as keen as anything SA have, so lets have some objectivity...in all good weekend, boring SA games, kick kick kick - I guess your new Coach will employ the same tactics, oh of course he coached the Bulls once...so what else is new.

ahhh the beautiful game is alive and kicking (pun intended) in SA, kick, kick, kick, boring, boring, boring. Nothing will change with SA rugby at all levels. What a bore…

@rangerman(rangerman)-126: nice try,bud.i have more emotional ties to the cape than what you,probably,would have towards south africa in your one little finger.in any case, we never had anything in common,so,you are no big loss,buddy.btw,are you telling me that you have something in common with south africa's other races,i am assuming here now that you are white.i travel at least once or sometimes twice a year to my ancestral home and can tell you now that the country is more divided than anything.forget about the green id....what do you have in common with your fellow south african?

@CAPECRUSADER(CAPECRUSADER)-125: well done for leaving south africa. the last thing we need is more people with an identity crisis. like i said, you need to change your nic to londoncrusader beacuse the cape is not your home, emotionally or physically. with that, i wish you goodnight, i cannot waste my time with people i have absolutely nothing in common with.
