Bulls supporter apologises to his Sharks mates

I HAVE been a staunch Bulls supporter for 15 years now and they’ve had their successes and failures like any other team, but the Bulls always possessed the ability to recover from a bad year.

Saturday’s Super Rugby game was an enticingly nerve-wrecking affair for all supporters and we did not need the intervention of two blatantly incompetent referees to influence the outcome of the game.

We all saw the forward pass of the one Bulls try and we all (Bulls and Sharks supporters) agreed at our venue that the try should not be awarded. The TMO had other obvious biased ideas.

The last Bulls try was knocked on over the tryline. We all agreed it was no try, but yet again the TMO had other plans.

Although being happy with the win, I must add that I’m hanging my head in shame and the Sharks must feel robbed of at least a bonus point.

You may ask why I’m writing this letter when my team won?

I would hope some powers that be read this article and stamp out incompetent and biased refereeing.

So on this note – a sincere apology to my Shark supporting mates. If I could have reversed the win, I would have!
