Auckland see the Blues as Bulls rack up record beating
The Bulls broke their record highest score against the Blues on Saturday beating the Auckland based team by 58 points to 26 and picking up a bonus point in the process.
The Bulls started the match at a pace rarely seen in Pretoria and after 23 minutes Pierre Spies ran in the Bulls bonus point try after tries from Habana, Potgieter and Kirchner.
The Blues took their time to get going and managed to save a little face by scoring four tries of their own to pick up a bonus point for four tries.
In all the Bulls ran in seven tries which included two from Pierre Spies.
The Bulls had to play with 14 men for 10min after Deon Stegmann was send to the sin bin
Final score Bulls 59 Blues 26

i tried to tell people that the bulls wouldnt be the same rubbish side they were in 2008
The Bulls were amazing last night. I suspect they, along with the Sharks, are going to cause a lot of problems in NZ and Aust this year.
I just hope the Force have an answer to the Bulls They were playing like it were there last game ever. My son said that each of them were a "one man army" destroying everything in their way.
Bakkies Botha and Pierre Spies were lethal and then with players like Gutro, Habana, Kirchner and Du Preez to back them up and a 5eight like Morne Steyn you cannot really loose to average teams
I must say that Rene Ranger really impressed for the Blues He was a hand full every time he touched the ball
The Bulls have probably one of the most intimidating forward packs in world rugby.
Add DuPreez, Habana and a few others, and they are a lethal combination when in form and concentrating.
I'd like to see them take on the Brumbies. That would be a great game. Smith would have his work cut out, but the Brumbies backs would challenge them.
11 tries my count..will have to download the game no doubt!
Hope force can beat the Bulls when we are up against them! ... but the blues did beat us :s eep hopefully it will make for a good game!
"Believe in the best, think your best, study your best, have a goal for your best, never be satisfied with less than your best, try your best, and in the long run things will turn out for the best."
The Bulls are the benchmark this year. They are unbeatable at home and very likely 2009 champions.
