Bizarre score line. A tale of attacking prowess coupled with a tale of woeful defences. For both teams.
T
Bulls game plan is now ‘we’re going to put a cricket score up and not really tackle and if you can beat that fair play’
A
Didn’t see the game, did anyone actually tackle at all? Or was it just a game of touch?
K
Touch implies more effort was put into stopping runners
T
Imagine if Bris has LRZ and Ibitoye… our main try scoring back 3. 😂
M
Just going to assume that’s some scorigami
S
If I wake up tomorrow and read that Ackers has been sacked, I won’t be for it, but I sure as shit won’t be against it either. This team looks completely uncoached. Don’t let the opportunistic moments muddy the picture. Its a team with 10 Boks in the starting 15. No, this team has absolutely no structure on attack. I won’t complain about the defence because it does. not. fuckin. exist. Well played Bristol, your boys are great to watch!
W
The 5 minute highlights are not going to cover this one. Anyone got a full match replay link?
L
Still up for now: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmORIfVzYO8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmORIfVzYO8) \- starts at 1:48:00
S
I just watched it. 75% walk in tries and 25% interceptions/random bounces of the ball. They should use it as material to get more people into rugby
K
Will be up on rugby24.net later I’m sure
N
23 linebreaks 12 for Bristol, 11 for the Bulls De Klerk beat 8 defenders, Rauvouvou 7
S
I’ve found an(other) outright record for this game to hold – highest combined score in an away win in Europe!
L
“in Europe” a bit of a stretch.
T
Highest score for a losing team
S
As well as that, yes
N
Love the stats mate well done today.
S
[I love that sort of thing](https://www.reddit.com/r/rugbyunion/s/8hwVqp8oi1)
B
Both teams finished with 78% of their tackles made
N
Surely 7.8%?
I
If you dont make tackles you cant miss them
K
OK cab the Lions top this by doing the same, but winning?
T
Well that was a fucking brilliant game, so much fun. Taking 5 away in SA is no easy feat. Conceded a lot but thats to be expected, our defence has been solid this year so that was definitely down to a very free flowing game and we were playing in snow last week, now its 30 degrees at high altitude, tackles are gonna be missed.
R
Successful tackles were worth half a point that game
T
I think that’s the highest scoring losing team in competition history
S
Correct
S
Final result, outright 4th in the combined-score leaderboard for this tournament Top 3: Toulouse 108-16 Ebbw Vale, 98/99 Toulon 72-42 Saracens, 24/25 Pau 85-28 Borders, 96/97
N
There were more points scored in that Toulouse Ebbw Vale game than people living in Ebbw Vale
B
As a neutral, that was great craic
S
What’s the opposite of a fortress? Because that’s what Loftis is for the Bulls now. No one should be taking 60+ points at home
S
Bouncy castle?
S
That’s a KZN Sharks kinda stadium. They don’t have fun in pretoria
T
Pillow fort
A
Sieve?
S
Think our season is over Johan can play some young guys going forward. Rather build some depth while we can
I
i would rather we come fifth in the pool and go to the challenge cup tbh
K
Champions Cup definitely, but they should make playoffs in the URC based on the fixture list ahead.
S
Fuck no. Jasas he needs to play out first XV every game we get. The team is so disjointed, no cohesion, fokon poesol. If he continues to mix and match we will be getting nothing out of the players.
W
I guess the defence coaches had the day off.
X
They’ve had several months off
T
M A X L A H I F F

I can see how many runs were scored but still don’t know how many wickets went down.
T
Sjo folks This was something
S
I feel so robbed of a great experience. Everyone else is saying it was so fun to watch. All I saw was a complete disasterclass on defending and my own team getting worse each week. Gutted because we are getting worse.
T
I do not think you are getting worse tbh. Willie and Pollard both had their worst days in… 8 years?.. both at the same time. Bristol started fast, Bulls were down 21 to nill and still managed to almost score 50. With KurtLee and Moodie back, 10 and 15 playing even solidly and the Scrum gettibg parity or better this team beats moat others. What they need is to build culture, cohesion and a proper gameplan. I still think with tine Ackerman can do this… I base it on vibes and rumours only, but I think Rossouw and Bekker werent good for morale, and we know White is a bit of a tough customer. I think the Bulls are 10% and two months from clicking
S
I hope so because this is some of the most depressing rugby I’ve ever seen from them. Their defence makes me want to vomit
T
Definitely need a defence coach yes
T
Excuse my spelling. Followed the drinking rules
O
If it were the Lions I’d be fuming, but as a (mostly) neutral it was super fun to watch, lot of reaaally goofy mistakes from the Bulls but good fight all in all
C
110 points ?! Tackling was not allowed in this game ?
