I just hope it's enough and we can avoid line-outs. I never said they're equal... What I meant was, that Our front row are also Boks like the sharks and that our midfield also consist of a bok inside centre and a non-bok outside like the sharks... that being said, I don't think our guys should stand back for your guys as they all bring something different to the team... I want my Bulls to win, but I want 3 SA teams in the top 6...

Looking forward to the midfield clash both 12's are strong, straight runners and good defenders both 13's have a bit of spark and x-factor The team that dominates the collision and break down will have the opportunity to use their midfield to good effect P.S would love to see a chase between Mvovo and Basson

Some supporters only care for their team but I would like to believe the true patriotic supporter cares for the well being of all teams in his country. One thing that even further complicates this issues for me (from Stormers perspective) is I would prefer to play a team travelling than the Bulls or Sharks at home as the local teams have a better chance to be victorious on the day I don't think anyone could be faulted for wishing their team into the play-off's at this stage - by any means - tempers should start firing up soon All part of the game

I want the Bulls to lose, my friend is still going on about how Kollisi's pass to Habana was forward a month ago.
I suspect if the bulls play like they did last week, that they should win comfortably. But we have been a bit temperamental lately.
The Bulls basically mail you their game plan with a message underneath saying "Try and stop us."
what are the chances for a draw
This can't be Naas Botha.........This man is running with the ball...
17/1 apparently.

Good boy!
I definitely think Steyn was still in the air when Ludik took him there...definitely not dangerous as he was nearly to the ground, but its very hard to avoid being turned over if your not even allowed to land. Coetzee has such brilliant feet...
Ah flight was a bit late, missed the first quarter. Bismarck being Bismarck? What a beast (err, sorry Tendai).
@draggs_XV
Kanko is in Beast mode at the moment. He is simply brilliant. Interceptions, good running, line-out stolen.

JP you biscuit! 17-3 Sharks.
Will be 20-10 now... Dangerous line-out for the Bulls on the 5 meter line.
Hougaard and Morne Steyn have nice shiners haha
Very good cover tackle by Mvovo on Ndungane.
Well, that was fascinating defense by the Sharks man. Unbelievable. Line-out, scrum and then the tackle by Mvovo
PSdT is off with a nasty ankle injury but has been really amazing. We have talented locks, Draggs... That's been a while!

Remember our midfield two years ago? I don't! Commentator was talking about us doing well despite not having Sykes and Alberts... I don't think we are better with them.
Does Morné Steyn really belong to test level? I mean... his passes, his vision, his decision making, and in recent times goal kicking too, are below an average SuperRugby flyhalf. I think almost any other first choice fh in SuperXV has been better than him this season! He just relies on others' work. He must be thankful of his team mate who used to deliver any single performance. He's a lemon in a gin tonic. In fact, I use to drink it with a slice of orange instead!

No, and I don't think anybody thinks he is anymore. When he has a good pack he is decent, but he is only ever in the side for his kicking.
Can remember a couple of times the Sharks fluffed a big lead against the Bulls Bulls build through 7 phases then Hougaard throws a pass to...no one. Turn over Sharks score

****s sake, we don't need three, we need a try.
Come on man! We need that 4th try!!!
Bulls running at people rather than the space next to them ... Did they miss the lesson on "Path of least resistance"?

**** yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, this is the best match I've seen us play since last years Currie Cup opener at home against the Blue Bulls!
YES!!! Eze going to hit the town with his winnings tonight. Francios needs to stop kicking and start passing. Credit to Meyer Bosman for getting us up there, good kick into space and pressure while following up to win a penalty. Good conversion from the lad as well.
