@rugby_ap Bulls were outplayed first 30min however the two legal tries not awarded wouldve had the Bulls at 21 29 with 18min to go at a time the found their feet just took the game away finally. Piardi had a shocker in rhe last 30min of the game
Whats going on with the road upgrades in Atterbury road/ N1 offramp? The work is unplanned and incomplete for months. Paving is laid and then broken up, only time there is some activity is two weeks before month-end so the contractor can invoice. Investigate this and the Lynnwood road upgrade mess please
@Brendennel Bulls only produced 2 new backline springboks under JW and Rossouw. Almost a whole forward pack was made springboks. The backline has been the downfall the last 4 years. For success in URC and Chanpions Cup you need a current international level backline
Interesting take by the author of the article. No mention that many instances of similar tackles were judged with different outcomes. The interesting subtle issue in this case is how can a referee judge the tacklerโs intent. If you look in real time then Ramos gets tackled into de Jagers path and falls to his knees in a split second. de Jager already low for the tackle to the hip area if Ramos remained upright. The correct call was a yellow with referral.
@Brendennel With the right coaching and honest appraisel post games showing Craig Evans his shortcomings he can get better and become a great. At the moment however he struggles to remain neutral for 80min
@hendrikcronje71 They got the wrong guy. Nama Xaba touched his nuts by accident when he wrestled this guy away when dived over the ruck. Look at the video. This is such a joke
Looking at the video it is clear that the only person that could've accidentally touched this guys nuts is Nama Xaba who tried to wrestle this lunatic away when he intentionally dived over the ruck to viciously attack Wessels whom was not in a position to defend himself. The URC gurus got the wrong guy. lol
Willie hit the winger on the shoulder the view from the showed no head contact - heads not even close. Not sure how TMO missing that. Perfect tackle. Lineout to Bulls and clear the line. Penalty given gave Connacht 2 bonus points. Then two attempts to try and convert. New rule that game not over after hooter goes before conversion attempt.
