Just handing back Brenden_E's favour. I have a lot of bulls pals, but they don't carry on like the world owes them something. Nothing against you.
I now hope the bulls learn from today and show a better performance going forward.
We know they played awesome tonight. That's why I am annoyed. No one argues that. Did you watch their other games? I stopped watching their games early on cause they just sucked fat man balls. But tonight, now they decide to play. You know what this win means? Nothing. In a few years no one will remember it cause it was a pointless win. But tonight, yes tonight they decided to play their hearts out. In the most insignificant game to their season they decide to pitch up.
Stoooopid.

The opposite is just as true. Bulls playing well all season and decide not to pitch for their most significant game. If I was a buls supporter, I won't go blaming the opposition. Like I said earlier, no freebies
It's not the most significant game to the bulls - they are in the playoffs regardless. But you are just diverting attention from the argument. You don't think it's retarded that the Stormers play without passion in the games that matter, and now in a dead rubber they play like men possessed?

Derp more, please. What were they supposed to do? Play like crap on purpose? I'm sure most of us would have preferred them playing like this all season.
Dude they had zero passion in their earlier games. I watched and cringed and subsequently stopped watching cause I could not stomach it. You are also fishing for the most outrageous conclusions. I don't say they should play like crap on purpose. What I am saying is that if they can play like this, why the hell don't they do it all season?
There was a conscious decision to play harder tonight. You could see it in the way they went about the game. And to do so now, and not earlier when it mattered, is pure unadulterated retardism.

The Stormers played an amazing game today. Some of you are way too harsh on the Bulls. Remember that the Stormers did this to the Cheetahs too two weeks ago. The Stormers at home is a different beast altogether. Even more so when the correct players are picked. Having Elstadt back to add some muscle and playing van Aswegen instead of Jantjies boosted the team a lot. The Stormers played for pride today and there are few teams who could have withstood that.
The Bulls team that will come out in 2 weeks time will be a different one. This time they will be at home and hopefully with players like Serfontein back. Don't write them off yet. Look what the Cheetahs did to the Blues after they were hammered by the Stormers.

You my friend are delusional. What you harping on about the Stormers performance.they did what they needed to do and thats winning the game. You should have told our team to pitch up and tried to win the game and not sulk like you. If you want to be the top team, you got to be the best, irrespective of the opposition. Grow up for a change. The Chiefs and the Crusaders are going to crusify you at Moftus

No one can blame the stormers. It was an important game for them too. It put them in the top half of the overall log and they finished 3rd in SA. A loss tonight would have put them in the bottom half and second last in the SA conference. They didn't go out to ruin anyone's game, they played very good rugby tonight and they also won their last 5 games so they were on a bit of a run. I thought Deon Fourie played a blinder.
I am not saying they played well all season but they were only one win away from a playoff spot. If you look at their 7 losses, only 1 was by more than 7 points and there were a couple of very close losses. Habana probably cost them 2 games by himself (he played well tonight, though). I think they did exceptionally well for a side that had a "bad" season. Most other sides end up at the bottom of the log when they have a bad season. I would definitely kick out Fleck and I don't think JdV is the right captain.
I am a Lions supported, BTW, not a stormers one.

And the force didn't screw over the Brumbies? How about the Canes against the Crusaders? The bulls needed to show commitment like the Crusaders did against the Canes. That was a one point game and the Canes certainly weren't trying to help the Crusaders at all. They were trying to win and they almost pulled it off. The bulls didn't pitch up tonight. They were outplayed and it looked like their minds were already on the next game.
Going forward, I think the Cheetahs have a fair chance against the Brumbies. Reds have lost their coach and are not playing that well lately and the Crusaders are the danger side at the moment. They have won 8 out of their last 9 games and the one side they did lose to they hammered 2 weeks ago.
The stormers probably did the bulls a favour as the odds are against a Cheetah win in which case the Crusaders (if they win) will play the side at the top of the log.

The Stormers did play a better game than they did the whole season and yes the Bulls did play crap but if you were going into the semi finals of the Super 15 would you play like demons and risk injuries? I hope they just held back for that reason and that we will see a much improved Bulls side in two weeks time.
I see you and raise you..
