Bulls vs Lions 2026 URC

No score 5 minutes in.

Harold Vorster in with the chip and chase.

Smith with a 50/22 for the Lions.

Beautiful lineout play by the Lions and they're in the corner. Great conversion, 7-5 Lions.

Krappies indecisive, to Smith under pressure who boots it into a Bull and out. Waste of good scrum possession.

Moodie is such a destructive tackler.

Teaching a bloody class today so I have to miss this game.

Will make it just in time for the Sharks game.

On a 15 minute tea break and as I pop on Moodie makes another of his big hits

Moodie nails Smith as the Lions execute a fairly telegraphed move.

I'm flicking between rugby, cricket (not so much lately as it's too painful to watch) and EPL football.

Missed the Lions try but the Bulls are in now. There's a card coming too . . .

And then Moodie makes a lovely offload to set up a try

Lions leave a huge gap down the touchline and Moodie is away, they may get a yellow with the Bulls scoring anyway.

Krappies gone, he hasn't been very good today so far. Man, players have to know by now that if you pull stupid shit like that in the red zone you're gone.

Ag Willie . . .

No idea what channel Chris Smith thought he was defending there, just leaving Moodie wide open.

And as we all sing Canan Moodie's praises, he's down and getting strapped up.

Beautiful break by Quan but then that man Rudolph turns it over brilliantly for the Bulls.

Cameron cruises in to score. The Lions will do well to hang on here.

Seb slices through and Hanekom on his shoulder scores. There seem to be gremlins in the Lions defense, not helped by the yellow.

Lions go for the 3 pointer to run the yellow clock down. 19-10

Lions will need to score next.

What a handoff from Cam as he storms in for his second.

What are the RK fans saying to that one?

LMAO!

That handoff on Dickie Kriel hahahaha

I shouldn't laugh

Tea time over for me

Very skew throw by the Bulls. Not called and Hanekom slices through, gets rid of Temu and scores.

Now, Krappies, was that little professional foul worth it? God damn man, concede the try and keep your numbers.

Now Dickie is in front of the kicker at the kickoff.

Cam is the difference between these sides.

Despite the one man disadvantage, the Lions defense is a shambles. Jaque Fourie may have been a great player, but whatever he's doing with the Lions defense is not working. There are gaps everywhere.

Simple try for Rudolph, Seb de Klerk, one of the smallest man on the field keeping three Lions busy while staying on his feet.

Try Bulls, not sure if it's Grobbies or Rudolph but one of them is in.

31-10 at half time. Lions paid a heavy price for the stupid yellow..

Mahashe on for JC Pretorius, who was dominated in the first half.

Moodie is in and the Lions are a beaten side.

Moodie in. Bulls doing very well to use the space wide with two long bullet passes from Kermit and Willie. Lions not even competitive at the moment.

That's competing for the ball, surely they can't card that.

TMO checking Mpeku tackle on Moodie . . . but good call from the officials, no foul play . . . just took a long time to get there.

Correction, not Mpeku, Batho

Oh ffs, how many times do they need to see this? Make a fucking decision.

This is so ridiculous. We're at what, 14, 15 replays now?

This is where I want the ref saying "no foul play, fair contest, let's play" like he said after replay 3 already instead of trying to get agreement from his whole team across 10 further replays. You're the ref, make the call, play on.

That was better from the Lions. Krappies looked like he bungled it again at the base of the ruck. I'd get Nico Steyn on right now.

Lions maul it over.

Cheswill Jooste replaced Moodie.

Jooste on for Moodie.

Haha, Willie has a moment.

Nico Steyn with a dive pass. Haven't seen that in ages. Almost gets me nostalgic.
