[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 105569"] The Crusaders after a week off take on the Bulls (who should be riding high after humping the Tah’s) in Christchurch. I’m going for the Crusaders in this one… why? I’m not convinced about the Bulls, not by a long shot. Admittedly players like Fourie du Preez and Gary Botha are in a league of their own at the moment but players like (and this is going to shock) Habana (two opportunist tries last week don’t really stand out to me) and Matfield are still to step up. Still could be wrong but on the individual front there’s the potential for some good match ups. In the front row big Gary Botha on Corey Flynn should be a classic. Ross Filipo and Kieran Read on Victor Matfield and Bakkies Botha is going to be hard one for the Crusaders but with the added power of Mose Tuiali'I should keep things covered. Stephen Brett and Andy Ellis will have their hands against Fourie du Preez and Morne Steyn. In the backs, well it’s pretty open. Crusaders to open them up towards the end and make it look pretty one sided. [/QUOTE]
