Back down to earth with a bang!

Any vaguely broadcastable #3WordThoughts on that?

#BULvCAR

Bulls 40-7 Cardiff FT

Tough one.

Real tough sledding after a few weeks off to go up to Loftus. Think there will still be disappointment about the amount of handling errors though, there were definitely more points there for the taking.

One to forget though.

#BULvCAR

Only switched on at half-time, but the Bulls lads look like a team 50 minutes into a rugby match, meanwhile the Cardiff lads look like they’ve climbed Everest and done 12 rounds with Joe Calzaghe.

That altitude is no joke #BULvCAR

Nizaam Carr that is silly #BULvCAR

Even with the Bulls having a mixed season it’s still one of the toughest tasks in the world to go to Loftus and win.

Great opportunity for Cardiff to lay down a huge marker, but realistically will be happy to take any points back to sea level. #BULvCAR

Vodacom Bulls 🇿🇦 🆚 Cardiff Rugby Match day lineups #URC #BULvCAR

Here’s the Cardiff side to face Bulls;

- Unchanged XV from the Leinster win
- Belcher, Benny, Grady, Wainwright & Botham back from Cymru
- Faletau & Bevan fit again for the bench

Going strong at altitude! #BULvCAR

Tough one out in Pretoria this afternoon, only just recovering from watching the boys play at altitude!

What’s the #3WordThoughts on that one?

Starting off with… horror first half 🙈 #BULvCAR

Faletau showing again what he could do for the Lions as a dirt tracker at least #BULVCAR

Bulls 45-21 Cardiff FT

At least we won the second half!

Overall though an afternoon to forget in Pretoria as the hosts do a job, will need a big response against Stormers next week.

#BULvCAR

What an absolute shower of shite #BULvCAR

This might be the single most frustrating Cardiff performance I've ever seen #BULvCAR

Poor Cam W has not had a fun afternoon #BULvCAR

Lovely pass from Mann! #BULvCAR

a long time ago in a galaxy far far away .... ALT: a long time ago in a galaxy far far away ....

#BulvCar 5th place eh cardiff...

And let's be honest, kind of churlish of the Bulls fans to boo the *one* try Cardiff have got in this whole miserable match #BULvCAR

This South African commentary is also painfully bad.

"They're called the black and blues, and they're being beaten black and blue right now".

I mean, come on, it's like if @joshgardner.bsky.social was commentating to deliberately wind me up! #BULvCAR

a group of cartoon characters are standing together with their mouths wide open Alt: a group of simpsons characters are standing together with their mouths wide open saying 'stop stop he's already dead'

#BULvCAR

Physically monstered and then overplaying dramatically leading to numerous errors.

Fingers crossed the Bulls relax and the bench has an impact to try and rack up some tries, because we’re struggling to be second best out there. #BULvCAR

Bulls 31-0 Cardiff HT

Yikes.

#BULvCAR

From torpid to flat line in Pretoria

#atourtoofar #BULvCAR

I'm actually not sure I want to stay inside when it's 22c and beautifully sunny to watch Cardiff get absolutely battered #BULvCAR

Well this is going brilliantly 😬 #BULvCAR

Ah this Ref is from the 'Every scrum is a penalty opportunity' school.
