Bulls eliminated from semi's

The Bulls now have only two wins from their six matches.

Saturday's defeat also gives them a record of only three wins from a total of 27 Super rugby matches in New Zealand and has all but eliminated them from the semifinals of this year's competition.

Again there was a yellow card, two minutes from time, when Danwel Demas slapped down a Chief pass.

Again the Bulls battled to score tries, their record three in a match this year bringing them to a total of eight from six matches.

They have also conceded 25 tries - one less than the Stormers and three more than the Chiefs who are the other great leakers of tries.

Pieter, the Bulls are still playing 10 man rugby! They havent adapted to the ELVs.

I agree they are slow on the field and doesn't know what to do with a fast ball from the ruck's and malls. Also they hardly used the free kicks in the same way as the other super 14 teams there is a lot of homework to be done but for this season the writing is on the wall.

The other problem they have is the coach. Frans Ludeke comes from the Lions he was practically kicked out there as coach because of poor results.

the former Cats coach, who won only two matches and drew one out of 13 as Cats coach in the 2006 Super 14 competition, will succeed Heyneke Meyer as Bulls coach.

Ludeke was last year relieved of his Lions duties after the Super 14 season following an equally dismal season at the helm during the 2005 Super 12 campaign.
