#491 Transformation: My point about the Bulls is that if they execute their playing style perfectly they cannot be beaten because it's based on doing the simple things every time regardless of the situation both on defense and offence. I know the other 13 teams are also able to outplay each other when on point but the fact that the idea that they play the situation at times makes them susceptible to losing from time to time.

#490 Ezee-23: yes, thats why the crusaders,blues & canes bl!ksemed them by more that 50 points, the other teams were playing the situations and the bulls stuck to a k@k gameplan, even when they saw it wasn't working... Did you still back them when their own coach said the reason the were losing was because his players didn't understand the elvs! Oh dear in week 9 of the competition! When muir's sharks and rassie's stormers were competing for top spots these great rugby geniuses were still trying to figure out the new rules?! They set a new standard of being 'special'.

Seriously though, does anyone expect anything different from the Bulls than what they’ve given us for the past couple of years.

The Bulls are the most boring South African Super14 team, and have the most predictable playing style of all Super 14 teams. Boring and predictable they may be, I still back them to win everytime they play. Their style is made for winning, whilst every other team is playing the situation and unpredictable they are’nt assured of a win.

#480 JimT: Yeah, I would have fielded the strongest side as well to get match fitness drilled in... I'm not in favour of persisting with giving the fringe players too many chances... they must earn the chances....

#482 Darth Vader: Oh ok. I didn't realise they had 2 warm up games left. I guess it also reduces the risk of pre-season injuries. Thanks.

#480 JimT: The bulls have still two warm-up games against cheetahs and sharks. They chose their weakest team for lions because they thought the other two will be better practice.

#476 grootblousmile: I thought you had left us GBS. Your’e like the quiet assassin creeping up in a stealthy fashion.

Funny enough my Notebook has not crashed today. It must have taken note of your sage advice, just to throw me off

I had a question I intended to pose a few days ago, how come the Bulls fielded their B or even C team the other day? Don’t they need match fitness?
