Don't blame the ref, the bulls threw the game away I'm afraid. Played well, but the inexperienced cost them.

Ref gifted the Landers 6 points. You going to battle to beat a side as good as them when the 50/50 calls don't go your way but when the 70/30 calls go against you it near impossible.

Shame man, that was a hard decision. Ref got it wrong there,but the bulls never took any kicks which could have put them out of site already.

Yes, correct sand_man, but if the bulls took all their kicks they would win easily irrespective of the ref.

How was 20 off side?

Linesman made that call. But then again, would half a metre further back made a difference in defence ensuring you avoid offside call?

Have to be behind the hind most feet in the ruck. Couple of those don't look like they are...

Then again, if you can't make 70% possession count...

On the upside, Pollard looking on top form. Great kicking and running the whole night. Think he only made 1 errant pass.

Wish him all the best, gave 9 great years to the Lions. Hopefully Lions can sign Marnus Schoeman permanently.

He's been a barnstormer off the bench so far.

I hope the Blues win in Sydney, otherwise the 35 game win streak by Kiwi teams against Oz teams will be broken. :(

Yoh! Two yellows to the Chiefs and now an 8 point lead to the Jaguares. This is going pear shaped very quickly for the New Zealanders...

First was pretty soft (that's how you milk a yellow fellows), got to say and that of course led to the rolling maul which couldn't be stopped legally, penalty try and another yellow!!

Jaguares beat the Chiefs (who were returning from a bye) in NZ. That is a real shock result. The Chiefs have looked very good this season and are a dead certainty for a playoff spot.

Tomorrow Lions trump the canes and this weekend will be AMAZING!
