Kingscall, you give the Lions far too much credit.

no game is really easy in the Super rugby comp, Lions will give those mountain goats a game on saturday...

I am not clued up on rugby and I also don't think the Bulls were totally outclassed by the Sharks last week, so I am also of the feeling that the Bulls can roll the Cheetahs in Bloem, I have played the double :-

Crusaders (-5.5) X Bulls (-2.5)

Double works out to 3.6/1, I'll take my chances.

I have gone with the Chiefs, Cheetahs, Highlanders, Waratahs, Brumbies, Stormers and Sharks all to win. Very nice 26/1 bet

Unfortunately for my early bets I think you are right and I will go with the Bulls to outclass them easily after what i saw last weekend -

Crusaders vs Chiefs - Home win
Cheetahs vs Bulls - Home win but Bulls +3.5 on the hcap
Highlanders vs Blues - Away win
Brumbies vs Reds - not an easy game to call, going with Home win by 3.
Sharks vs Hurricanes - Home win but Canes +12.5 on the hcap
Lions vs Stormers - Away win but Lions +9.5 on the hcap
Waratahs vs Force - Home win but Force +12.5 on the handicap

Mr H as a Bulls supporter I believe the Bulls will battle tonight. The Cheetahs looked dangerous and just made mistakes at key moments which as the season progresses will get better. If they can shake a bit of the rustyness we saw last week I belive they will beat the Bulls. I predict an upset or 2 this weekend but it is just a case of finding which one.

I agree with shrek - the Bulls did really not look great against the Sharks - I believe the Cheetahs will beat them in Bloem - but by no more than a few points. The Bulls imo need to stick with Pollard and van Zyl and move Hougaardt to the wing - they do have a dangerous centre pairing, but need to get a better service from the fly-half; Fouche not the best distributor imo

Took chiefs @ 16/10

Good bet...excellent defensively...so won't concede too many and brilliant at counter-attack...

Seeing the match against Crusaders at the moment and Crusaders have had most of the ball, been in Chiefs half most of the time and yet, after about 15 minutes Chiefs 5-0 up...
