If fairness that stadium has 50k capacity if they just downsized to something smaller the atmosphere would he a lot better don’t understand why none of the South African teams are doing that tho
Bulls players put in a lot of effort, unbelievable fitness and great attacking game, unfortunately so many handling errors. North Hampton under lots of pressure used and scored from every opportunity, their defence was also outstanding
Well done Saints. The South African teams should really play in smaller stadiums, their large stadiums are half-empty most of the time. To be precise, the Loftus Versfeld Stadium has a capacity of 51 000 but the attendance was about 13 500 : 3/4 of the seats are empty.
The Bulls are rubbish . The crowd was even worse. That Northampton penalty was glorious amongst the boos and what's with the techno music during scrum time. It's a rugby game, not a rave. Northampton shut them right up
Shambles of a crowd. Wouldnt believe rugby is thriving and SA are back to back rwc champs. I personally think the SA teams should join back into the pacific comp.
Because of our geographical isolation, I don't think there is any international comp where SA can fit in easily. SR was dieing a slow death. The URC seems to normally come alive in February at least, but this "Champions" cup thingy seems farcical right now.
@@rothnieoosthuizen3728 I don’t expect South African fans to understand but the old format was brilliant that 2005-2018 Heineken Cup era was the pinnacle of club rugby
The South African teams really need to play in smaller stadiums . And play in the heartlands of where the supporters actually live . These crowds are embarrassing
Big congratulations to Saints. Good away win. Bulls, Bulls, Bulls. You are complete KAK. Two weeks in a row you look like a bunch of amateurs. Need to really start questioning the coaching staff after these 2 games.
Superrugby stadiums have been empty for many years, in all participating regions, not just South Africa. Also, South Africa left SR of their own accord, or let me know where you get your facts from. Your point about empty stadiums stands though.
This competition sucks SA teams should play only URC not champions league replace this league and bring us back the Carrie cup we can't have all our teams playing European leagues we are not in Europe we need home brewed competition something to be proud of bring back the Carrie cup
South African teams can't compete against the squad depth, quality and budgets some of the European clubs have. They should just focus on the lower tier URC where they play against Welsh teams
Because the other teams are using all our players😂. We cant compete financially. This is why we win world cups, because its the onpy place where you willceeally see a full strength South African sides. All our club teams are weakened.
Nobody gives a F because nobody can work out how to watch the damn matches. Stick the premiership behind the TNT paywall, then separate off the Europeans cups behind some convoluted Prime/Premier Sports paywall. Good job the drongos in charge of rugby!
The Heineken Cup used to be an elite competition. Now it seems like a farce in the hands of its latest, careless guardians. Just viewing these crappy highlights shows the lack of care or consideration invested. Rugby Union is being destroyed in front of our eyes. 😭
😂😂😂😂 Humbled in your own back yard😂😂😂 well done Northampton from a Leinster supporter
Bulls were the way better side, They messed up 8 times over the tryline.
@@jadenphilander8799then saints were the better side if bulls can’t complete the job 😂 keep your trash in SA
Great size crowd. What is the point in SA being in this comp?

Investec the competition sponsor...
@@John-ny7jnmoney, the costs of running the stadium plus the costs of renting or building a new one
Hence why they are called the Vodacom bulls
Most vaalies are on holiday at the coast.😂
I thought these Bulls supporters said this competition was easy when they joined.. Northampton has done this before. Ye never learn
South african teams not doing well
😂😂😂 hilarious and all sa teams find it hard to get out of first round since they started a few years back.😂😂😂😂😂.
@michaelmoynihan9591 not easy anymore
Still a bit hungover after the 4th world cup. Win some, lose some.
The thing is, all our players are playing for the european clubs. We are basically playing weakened teams.
Didn't think any SA team was worse than the Stormers, but then the Bulls decided "hold my beer!"
Bulls players put in a lot of effort, unbelievable fitness and great attacking game, unfortunately so many handling errors. North Hampton under lots of pressure used and scored from every opportunity, their defence was also outstanding
Bulls were so poor, I myself couldn’t believe what I was watching 😢😢
3:55 holy shit bro got ran over
Ikr, Hanekom got absolutely sat down when the Saints player came back at him haha
No sir@@toma411
Wow. Look at that crowd.

Northampton shut them right up
SA fans are all online they dont go to games
Blue bulls going down
Im an English fan but i actually liked the techno music it kept some excitement among the crowd during the large pauses in the play
Complaining about a bit of music to get a vibe going at an entertainment event. Go watch bowls ya melt.

Northampton saints forever!❤
Not a 59 to 22 victory to the Saints like last time, but still a nice victory considering.

Is Tswane supposed to be the new name for Pretoria? Is this part of the renaming process I keep hearing about from Saffas? Thanks
No. Pretoria is located within Tshwane. If you're genuinely interested, have a look on Wikipedia.
Has Jake and coaching staff reached their sell-buy date?
Perhaps
Perhaps
Hapsper.
Jake White still employs the playing tactics of 2007. Time for a change at the bulls.
Need to respect the competition and the opposition

Can't blame the coaching staff if you come up against a better team
Get rid of the SA teams im sick of the empty stadiums. No wonder NZ kicked them out

Your point about empty stadiums stands though.
Super Rugby is making up teams to keep the comp going. It's dead
What do you personally gain out of a full stadium? Or are you just trash talking?
That stadium is a 60000 capacity.

Blou poepol
Bulls? Bullshit
Lazy rugby from the bulls
