Not certain about the logs, but did the Brumbies avoid playing the Reds?

Yes they did. Reds had to lose without any bonus points for that to happen.

Log at the moment:

1. Chiefs
2. Bulls
3. Brumbies
4. Crusaders
5. Reds
6. Cheetahs

Only 1 and 2 can change from this point forward. So Bulls are playing for a possible home final tonight.

Feels like Rugby Union politics, the very same may happen with the Bulls vs. Stormers, naturally to have the Bulls playing at home.

Guess no one can complain. 2 Saffers, 2 Aussies, and 2 Kiwis in the top 6.

Crusaders can complain. They should be in third place based strictly on points. It's only the weird system that puts the Brumbies above them on the log. Aus sides also have a huge advantage as they get to play both the Rebels and Force twice

On a different note, how was the try by Kershner not a double movement?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Lol, called it last week after the Sharks Bulls game ...... if the Bulls play like poop again, Breezers will take them and guess what's happening.

Lol, yeah, saw how that worked out for the Brumbies today.

Stormers also got to play the Rebels this year and that didn't work out too well for them either.

Anyway, if I hadn't be following super rugby this year I would have thought the Stormers are 2nd chasing a home semi and final and the Bulls were the also rans.

Doesn't it annoy you when our teams play like pansies against foreign teams and now that they are out of the competition they play like men possessed against our local guys? The Stormers were total chops the entire season, and now they suddenly decide to play when the season is over.

The sharks guilty of this as well.

 

[sand_man]

100%. Problem is they know each other so well.

 

[sand_man]

Bulls are just stupid rugby players. Stormers have a man in the bin yet the Bulls kicking all their 2nd half possession away.

 

[Brenden_E]

True, they aren't playing smart rugby. As much as I dislike Spies in the Springbok setup, I think he does a good job for the bulls. The team is much worse without him.

My thoughts exactly. If they played like this the whole season they would have been in the semis.

Well, the Force beat the Crusaders and the Brumbies this year.

I don't think Kirchner made two movements. He just placed the ball. His knees and legs weren't pumping or moving him forward.

Stormers are on fire tonight. Attack and defense is top notch.

 

[sand_man]

More Bulls stupid. Their driving maul from the line outs has been going backwards yet they persist with the tactic.

It's been their weakness for a long time. They can't adapt when their gameplay isn't working.

Commentator says "where have the stormers been?". If I had godly powers I would send a dildo up every Stormers player's arse. Cause they just screwed the bulls so unnecessarily. It's game over, Bulls won't catch up.

Stormers don't owe the Bulls anything. They need to deserve that top spot if they want it.

Why couldn't they play like this earlier? In a dead rubber they play their best game of the season. Get it? If you don't you are one in spirit with the Stormer retards.

 

[Arthur]

The Stormies didn't play particularly well, but they looked good against a pathetic Bulls ballsup. Note to forwards: Deon Basson is on the wing, remember?

Easy one... If the bulls are not good enough to beat the Stormers to stay top of the log, then they don't deserve to be top of the log. There are no freebies in this game. Get it? If you don't, then you are one in spirit with the bulls retards

The Stormers played with a ton of passion. Given the Bulls didn't play very well, but I think the Stormers made them look average. Any team that went up against this Stormers team tonight would have struggled. The crowd and the players were fired up. A little too late, neh? They went about it like it's a final. My gosh I need that godly power to distribute some dildo action.
