[QUOTE="TRF_stormer2010, post: 1043013, member: 39190"] Very weird game and difficult to know what to read into it if anything but it does build expectations for the coming tournament which is good. Bulls didn't lose THAT many player due to test players not being available did they?Okay, sure, that and first time traveling outside of SA since 2019 would be disruptive but my gut tells me it is more they just didn't pitch up mentally. That is the worst Bulls performance I've ever seen and not half of it is due to pressure from Benetton. Not to take anything away from the Italians. They can only play what is in front of them and made and took their chances. A very assured and confident performance and made the Bulls look like.. I can't say schools team as we have schools sides in SA that would probably have taken it out against that Bulls side on the day whilst actually being coherent and with ideas of how to approach a game of rugby. Looking forward to more games against our new European partners/competition. If anything this serves to whet the appetite even though I'm not even a Bulls supporter. [/QUOTE]
