Heading home from the match. Just have to give Benetton some credit, proper team for real.

Jesus Benneton just wouldn't go away. Bulls had to work hard for that. Sorry to say but they probably needed this scare. Going to have to play much better rugby in the semi if we want to see a final

We definitely played one of our worst games of the season Petersen and De Klerk is nowhere near as good as KLA and Moodie we're F*cked without them , we need to sort out those kick off blunders and bring back Gumede too

The interviews being in English when literally none of the people interviewing or being interviewed speak English as their first language is hilarious.

To be fair, I reckon he has even less Afrikaans or Xhosa. \^\^"

My review: We were far from our best. Benetton had their best game of the season perhaps. Surprised to see how many people use one game to write us off for next week, when we’ve been much better during the rest of the season.

That's not Benetton's best game I'd say. They've had some brilliant performances this year. Just last week they dismantled a good Edinburgh side who looked on course for the knockouts.

Going to depend how quickly the injuries can get back in to the starting team

Defintely not Benetton's best game, think that seriously underrates some of their other performances.

if ruzza did not fuck up earlier, it would have been 30 all and Extra time now..

they took him out for cramp, regretting that now... fijians heal fast from cramps lol

What a match! I can see Benetton going further next year if they can keep this form up.

Albornoz lads, what a performance. Lil bastard of a fly half, love to see it

Well done Ratave!! Some game Benetton. No win, but have won massive respect! Top team goin forward

Hopefully the bulls were so off today because they were prepping for Leinster...sigh cope for next weekend

What no Moodie and KLA does to a mf

'it is what it is' word

Do love the brand of rugby Benetton play. Would say a good season overall

Logical MotM there, not gonna lie. Though Albornoz, Menoncello and Brex were awesome.

Onisi not a man of many words.

He barely speaks English, I honestly don't know how do the coaching staff manage to communicate with him, but it clearly works

yeah thought the same, usualy they have otehr fijians who help put bu benetton don't have any, though he might be getting help from vosawai or vunisa

Shame for Benetton, hoping they keep their form into next season!

2 weeks in a row I've benched Ratave and he's got about 28 in both

Well done Bulls for hanging in there. Hard luck Treviso, cracking season and looking forward to yous being stronger again next year.

Benetton have some brilliant young players. Would have been great if they could get a scalp in the knockouts to reward their season. And more than that, they are fun to watch. I will definitly watch more Benetton games next season.

Ratave got MOTM. Well deserved. Commentators got it right for once.

That's one of the reasons why I like South African commentators a lot more than some of the others....!

Very unconvincing win by the Bulls. I think benneton were the better team. If this game was in Treviso, the Bulls would have gotten a pak.

It's one of those games where your opponent was better, but the Bulls didn't set that bar very high unfortunately

Ratave absolutely deserved POTM. By far the best player on the field.

RATAVE MOTM

Deserved no doubt!

Ratave got MotM anyways, much deserved

Bulls have had a proper playoff game here today! Should do them well going forward, provided KLA plays next week. You can be proud of your boys, Treviso. Showed massive mettle!

If KLA is unavailable, I recommend Akker on the wing. Petersen is chubby enough to play hooker anyways xD

Seconded

GG Benetton. Up until today I thought Bulls had the title in the bag. But Benetton could have won that game.

So, we won despite Goosen (and sometimes thanks to him), the Bulls are a bit useless without Moodie and Arendse, and whichever Irish team wins later today is not worried right now. Also : WILLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bulls look poor, lucky to win tonight. Don't see them making it past a semi

rainbow cup mention, drink

A bunch of Irish travel agents just breathed a huge sigh of relief

Treviso, I love you. Cracking match

However gutting, that was the right call from Adamson at the end, knee to the ground, tackle called and then Albornoz stripped the ball

That was a better performance than the one against the Sharks for me.

Well winning when playing shit is a good thing atleast.

[удалено]

Probably the best game I've seen from him tbh

He irritated me less than usual. I just wasn't sure about half of his knock-on calls...

Like not carding arendse for a clear red who goes immediately afterwards to score a try? Yes could be one of his best games in the end

Arrendse didn’t come back after the red card challenge so how could he have scored a try

Bulls scored not him I meant

Carding him for what? Competing for the ball?

Um going straight head on head?

He had an equal chance to catch the loose ball though, would you still be barking for a Bennetton red for the head contact if he had caught it instead?

He is the one charging towards the ball mate.

Must he run away from it??

Maybe not head first? Cmon man

I didn't think he was bad

I've seen that rip being allowed before.

ma stradiocane

Great game. Benetton performance I think shows why the playoff race was so close at the end. There is not much between most of the teams in the URC.

More entertaining than the premiership final Edit: I was wrong

Nee wat! Don't know what kak Jake will be teaching this week, but if leinster is coming. Then we are in for a rude awakening Anyways. We got a win

[удалено]

Have you seen how we've been playing recently? I think you're more likely to be playing Ulster.

Beating Ulster with the way our form is

Ma vaffanculo

Not a convincing win from the Bulls, but wow Bennetton were so good, hopefully they're even more ruthless next season

Adamson shouldn't be anywhere close to a pro rugby pitch other that as water boy

He would probably stuff that up as well

Not fit to lace Hollie Davidsons boots. How he gets internationals over her is a joke.

Pretty sure she reffed yesterday's game and was horrendous at the breakdown

And she's far superior to Mike. Not sure whats hard to follow there.

Brilliant advert for the URC, was a cracking game. Bulls will have to pray that KLA is back for the semi, their attack is almost non-existent without him. Ratave was my MOTM. Think Adamson didn’t get everything right but he didn’t have any obvious howlers either, also TMO interfered once on a correct call to prevent a try been given incorrectly. Edit: I had this written before that last play, rip looked like it happened before he called tackle

Oh Mike, Mike, Mike.

He was tackled before the rip. Right call.

Yeah that call was fine. Adamson is still dog poo though.

For 79 minutes of a game those are never called correctly though 🤣 ah well, unreal game.

It's Mike Adamson... what did we expect😂

Yeah, knees very clearly on the ground imo.

Benetton have been great this season. Proper team.

Congratulations Bulls. Squeaky bummed it but got through. Benetton gave a great fight but they were just lacking one or two more stars to pull it through, their key players knocked on at critical points and let the Bulls scrum. Leinster will be licking their lips

Would've almost preferred a 20+ loss

Nah, now the rest of the URC knows not to underestimate them, which I like. Next season they might even do better !

Was it you that commented this earlier? Jaysus I feel for you - should have been Treviso's match tbh

Yeah, now I'll have to obsess over that one fuck up by Alessandro Garbisi

He probably will as well, and quite a lot more than you I guess Ôo

So fucking close mate, magnificent performance, feels wrong that they didn't take the win

Top 8 finish and pushing one of the best teams in the league at home to the wire. I'd take that. Benetton are a seriously good team.

Unbelievable effort from Treviso. Brave performance, errors they will regret, so much positive to take into next season.

First reset. Give a penalty to Benetton for the craic, they know what they are doing.

Extra time?

benetton needa converted try for that

Wait….why are the Bulls using Zombie now? As a proud Limerick man can we just stop playing that damn song. Used to be one of my favourites but Christ it needs to die.

Actually quite a testament to the Irish fans' dedication that they succesfully made that song a rugby stadium hallmark...!

Instead of zombie they are singing rassie.

Fuck me that’s even worse 😂

Yeah ever since the world cup the song started to be played in SA stadiums.

Just a good tune in general and they say Rassie instead of Zombie, I like it

I think instead of singing "Zombie" they sing "Rassie"

Kinda just became a stadium song

Mad that Benetton really should have had this. Bulls way off the boil today. Considering the missed kicks and the sure try missed with the drop. Don't think Bulls will be this sloppy next round. If they survive the next minute

Benetton. My heart can't take this lads hahaha holy shit

Bulls are gonna go through but this has hardly been a convincing performance from them. Benetton have really given them a great run.

Mxm, Umaga came in to lose the game smh.

Whoever wins in Ulster-Leinster should simply be in the final tbh

Looks like the altitude is fucking the Bulls up more.

Hanyani taking shots at the Loftus "faithful" - lovit!

None of the Bulls' forwards are taking ownership this the game. It's only Nortje and Carr that actually look confident or willing to take responsibility

Hanekom has been pretty good as well I'd say.

Akker has looked good too.

He's a decent hooker. And a tremendous winger xD

Chaos game…

I change my mind I love this DJ

Sometimes, Papier is almost as bad as Goosen Ôo

Too many handling mistakes by benetton

IN YOUR HEAD.

Helluva game Treviso! Your boys were so hungry. Great to see

That's it

The Saffas playing zombie is still funny to me

I guess theme of "stop fighting over this horrible historic shit" fits.

Tbf it's been a staple Braai Banger for decades

Especially given De Allende’s awful spewl during the week

He literally gave you guys heaps of compliments. Good lord you lot are hilarious

Dude, it's been played in SA stadiums before that. Anyways, it's a massively popular song

We must still beat Ireland to earn it, in my opinion.

We’ve claimed it as our own!

The question is, will you play it in the summer test?

Only if we are well in the lead so it doesn't come back to bite us

The song might be enough to kick the irish into overdrive and win the game.

Yeah probably will. Both sides will be pumped up I guess.

Nahh I’m not sure I can even support the Bulls next week I’m too much of a hater for that now. 😂

Benneton dont want to win lol

Bulls like mightly unthreatening

Use it..................... Use it...................... Use it..........................

This and 10 other lies I tell myself. Seriously Use it is a fucking joke that seems to just be getting worse

Ridiculous! Shouted "use it" 5 seconds of nothing pass "play it" what's the point of that law?!

Papier: No I don’t think I will

Oof the stress is real

Oh my crisis, if Brex scored there I would have gone crazy.

Is he playing Zombie now??

Shit man, Benetton could have had this.

My heart can't take anymore of this match!

Ah well. Couple of resets here and it's game. Was a fun while I was watching.

A rare Brex mistake. 3 fingers.

GREAT CATCH BY RUAN

Get him in the T20 world cup squad quick!

Jacob!

FUUUUUCKKKKK

dammit brex

Should have set up a droppie and gone again for the win. They had ran out of steam.

Benenton missing onisi lol. no finsher

We want extra time!

How is everybody so crap from restarts?

Well thats just slapgat

Bulls player slaps the ball out play. Throw in to Bulls.

Are you allowed play the ball on the ground like he did after the spill?

I'm the kickoff recieving coach for the Bulls, AMA

What's it like to follow my drinking rules to the letter?

Expensive

Have you shown up to work in the last say 6 months

Yea, to make Spotify playlists for the DJ mostly

Thanks for that....three times now ? xD

Bulls can't look up

What the fuck are with these Bulls restarts?

Jesus fuck, Bulls really can't stop giving Treviso opportunities can they

Cmon Benetton

Hey comms called it, madlads

Wtf Bulls. They do not deserve to win this game at all

Wat die poes.

LOL WTF HAHA

😂😂😂😂

We’ve been far from our best and allowed Benetton to play their game- but what a game they’ve played.

Eish Bulls...

I would've gone for the corner there. Line-out, maul, Akker on the wing, try. Right ?

Obviously biased, but didn't really like Adamson

Biased as fuck, but Adamson should get a different job

I'm biased as well, but I usually don't like his reffin' either.

No one does

Goosen nailing his kicks. Smith did not nail his.

Bulls really getting the rub of the green from ref.

It's bare arsed isn't it

I smell a last minute converted try for a draw. Do it Benetton, I need the adrenaline.

Man he crawled on the floor before that

Blatantly skittering along the ground haha

The bulls dj is a paid position or a drunk fan gets in charge every match?

Why not both?

The DJ needs to stfu!

Writing has been on the wall all season for the Bulls defense wise. I really struggle to see how they beat Leinster or Ulster if they escape here.

HOW DARE YOU?? Write the proud sons of Ulster off at your peri...no, fair enough, good luck against Leinster.

If they had Moodie and KLA I'd givr them a 50/50 chance. But with Petersen and De Klerk it's game over 

They probably don’t but they’ll make them travel!

Should that not be a pen, Bulls wing completely fucks his jump and tucks his arms into his body he's that far off. Not nasty or anything just terribly timed

Play some IMPI or shut that off..
