Never - too inexperienced - if The Crusaders play them in a semi or final it will be no contest.

Well done with Sharks Craig. Ek hou my mond toe oor die Boelle.

I think Stransky is a anti-Bull as well. Ek gaan daai flat-screen stukkend gooi oor die Boelle so swak speel, dan add Stransky sy bollie by. Eish. Maak my mal.

Moenie worry nie, the Force improved a lot with Ebersohn at fly-half, imo if he had played last week, they would have beaten the Kings easily - just by kicking the goals on offer.

That being said, apart from their driving mauls, the Bulls did not really show much - backline looks a bit flat-footed.

The Sharks deserved to win, but I think the Stormers will still improve - those are the SA sides that will fight for a semi-final place - imo it will be 2 NZ sides (Chiefs and either Crusaders/Blues) and the Brumbies and one SA side.

Frodo if the Bulls want to suprise the opposition they should teach Wynand Olivier to pass and the opposition would be so stunned they could run in an easy try.

The Force were also a completely different side from last Saturday.

The kicking game played by the bulls will destroy them against the NZ sides. Possession is key to winning but the Bulls keep kicking theirs away - They need to play a foward game if they are to have any chance of glory

Totally agree - you cannot give any of the NZ backline an inch of space, they will run circles around their counterparts...

most of the NZ backlines are looking super deadly! especially the Chiefs and Blues - waiting to see the Saders backs fire with the likes of Taylor and Dagg!

Here are the results from this past weekend's Super Rugby

Blues 34 - 15 Crusaders
Waratahs 31 - 26 Rebels
Reds 18 - 12 Hurricanes
Chiefs 45 - 3 Cheetahs
Bulls 36 - 26 Force
Sharks 12 - 6 Stormers
