So much for "United Rugby Championship"

Every Welsh, Scottish and Irish fan rubbing Glasgow win in any Bulls fans face. Very toxic.

Very much feels like Italy, Wales, Scotland and Ireland vs SA in the URC. Not nice at all.

Online everyone is trolls, I was at the rugby world cup last year and the Irish fans were amazing when they beat us. On the flip side the SA fans did not cover themselves in glory at all. I think in general SA fans are some of the worst losers tied with the French and English.

We have been winning everything, it gets stale and breeds resentment for the opposition. Best team won on the day.

That was the worst attacking rugby I ever saw from the Bulls. Where was the backlone switch plays and the stack attacks that got them in the final.

Why did they change their gameplay completely.

Impact of no le Roux. I was nervous this was gonna happen already from the 2nd half of their semi-final, where saw them struggle similiarly when he went off.

They don’t really have anything to rub in the Bulls fans faces.
 
Boks v Wales - Rassie got what he wanted out of the game. Good win, some patchy/rusty moments but that can be expected from our first game and a a few new guys and combinations. Edwil, Sascha & Fassi impressed me but I think Jaden had a game to forget.

Bulls v Glasgow - Glasgow were very good and deserved their win. Bulls had a few brain farts and played too one-dimensional. they missed Willie and Canaan. Arendse had a poor game. Think they played their final last week and didnt have much left in the tank to compete.

Could see in the semi-final already there were gonna be problems if Le Roux wasn't fit. Moment he went off the Bulls lost their way. Expected them to be as lost without when saw the team sheet for the final. Ridiculous that his presence seems so important.

Will be interesting to see if Rassie goes with Kriel or Am at 13. Am has usually been first choice when fit, but Jesse has been in stellar form and would be difficult to leave out. May be a case of starting with Am and bringing Jesse off the bench, ostensibly as a utility back to cover multiple positions.
