Brave prediction :D Think it will be a low scoring forwards game.

best part about not having anything to lose - teams tend to play with more guts. I hope both sides give us some lekker running ruggers.

I have this gut feeling that the sharks will have a last "give it all" against the bulls for this season, and I have this funny feeling that the bulls will lose by a small margin.

Are you trying to be offended or something?

StevieG is drunk, don't be nasty, as when he wakes up I am sure he will have a hangover from hell.

Although I do hope your gut is correct, the Sharks are such a mystery this year that I think the Bulls can sit on the side line with an ice cold pint and still win the game with a 4 try bonus!
 
Well the fact is the bulls will end top of the SA table. Now we must simply hold onto the second place :o

// We can even go top of the table if the Saders kill the chiefs this weekend.
 
Leave the Chiefs alone they must continue on their merry way - so the Cheetahs can jump a position :D

Haha, well I do not want to lie, the SA teams do not travel all that well for finals. semis etc etc.... (barring the sharks last season :eek:).

I think it will be very hard for the bulls to beat the Chiefs at home :(
 
I think all the Stormers fans can hope for now is beating the Bulls on the last week of the tournament. Play for pride

I know that will at least somehow make my season, but sad to say this. Good luck to the Cheetahs.

Saders will kill the Champs, although the Champs won their game last weekend they pretty much have backline problems, they will probably keep the ball in the rucks again making the game slow.

I agree, would be nice to show that the boys in stripes must not be forgotten.
 
My team didn't play this year but hoping to be there again next year!
 
Kolisi out for 6 weeks, and Fouché out for 6 months. :(

Kolisi is a huge loss. Nizaam Carr is ineffective in my opinion. The Stormers have a huge problem in the loosies. They should maybe get Jean de Villiers to play there. :p I don't think he'll do that badly.

:( Damn and Kolisi was just shaping nicely.

Lol, I wonder if the stormers are not being over played. The bulls seems to be doing a tad better with their rotation policy.

Saw that - not the best news for SA rugby

Well with Botha and Kolisi out, we can be thankful Alberts is back and Louw is injury free atm....
 
I think it is time the Bulls sign Cheslin Kolbe :p

This weekend will be a good one for Rugby. The Chiefs vs The Crusaders must surely be the pick of the weekend. Then the forwards battle between the Bulls and the Sharks is going to be epic. Can the Cheetahs pick themselves up from last week to (basically) secure a place in the playoffs?

Ja agreed- It has me thinking for one thing. The Crusaders have been lacklustre and at 51 points sit 10 clear of chiefs. While they in theory - with a brace of bonus point wins - could still take the meaning reward for mediocrity that is the conference cup, the first hurdle would be the chiefs. And their real goal must be to make the cut then worry about log standing. The chiefs have two challenges ahead: crusaders and blues. They know the blues will be weary after their tour and would fancy their chances there more than with the crusaders, where they know all they need to do is deny them a bonus point (or pick up one of their own) to clench the conference. So...
CRUSADERS over chiefs, but not by much and probably without the 4 tries.

The BULLS will know their position full well by the game. If the Chiefs manage to pull one over the Crusaders, you can be (almost) guaranteed that they will kill the blues the next week. And with an away end-of-season clash against WP, they will know that Saturday's fight is critical. I expect bonus point win mainly because the sharks are in such disarray at the moment, which is a pity because this is one of the games I look forward to each season.
BULLS over sharks.
 
Really wish they would announce the team already, I wanna see if we have the grunt to take on the Bullies up front again or not

Tend to agree with both those.

If it is anything like last week's pack the bulls will need to really pitch up for this game.... the sharks forwards were the ONLY reason why you won last week.
