2011 Super Rugby (Super 15) thread

You would have beaten them in my opinion, the Stormers are just weak against the reds the last couple of years.
 
Stormers by 8 against the Bulls ;)

This is despite the rather vocal support on Sports 24 of the Bulls and how they are going to win!
 
Lekker stomers, great game this weekend. Not that the final results was very surprising.

This is despite the rather vocal support on Sports 24 of the Bulls and how they are going to win!

Look, I am a die-hard BULLS fan - this needs no discussion. However, what you have said there, scares me a bit. It is not just Sport24 but The Star and the Times. Now, I know they all want to back a winner but anyone - including some diehard like me - who simply wants to discard the inform Stormers WITHOUT A GOOD REASON is just fuelling an over confidence fire. And not one of the pieces I have read has backed up their support with merits. Like...

"The BULLS will beat the stormers because...
... Basson is in better form than Habana.
... Grant can't kick / won't kick.
... whatever."

Rather, I read "I'll back the BULLS on this one." no reason given.

That said, my SuperBru and me state the opposite: Bulls by 5.

Look for low scores, heavy impacts this game. When we should both be taking it easy and tossing it in for the sake of the RWC.

This what worries me. Some of our top players are going to pick up injuries in the next few weeks; this week it is Stormers v Bulls and Sharks v Lions, next week it is Bulls v Sharks. All of these are huge games.
