How the worm has turned. The All Blacks do the exact same thing and that's fine, but now the Crusaders do it to their provincial mates and it's a blight on the game. Hypocrites.

Great defence by the Bulls keeping them in this one, but they need to get something on the board.

Bulls aren't offering much at the moment. Could get nasty if they don't improve.

Yeah and he just added to it by being suckered by Carter and leaving a gaping hole for Guildford to score.

13 to 0. It's been all Saders so for. Bulls have just been getting everything so wrong.

16-0 starting to look like a winning lead. Feel the Bulls need to score something before half time to give themselves something to cling to.

A Pom! I knew it! Now I know to disregard anything in that article - I kid Pommies ;)

Brilliant work by Whitelock there, in particular not going into touch. I don't care if the Bulls aren't doing much right - I'll be nervous about this whole game till FT.

16-3 Bulls still have a chance in this one. But they'll need to score early in the 2nd half and not let the Crusaders extend the lead.

Saders have been good on attack but their defence of the Bulls maul has impressed me most.

Steyn played the last 5 minutes of the half much better, hopefully he comes out firing in the 2nd half and makes a game of it for us neutrals.
