The Bulls need a game plan for when they are losing the collisions. They need to start keeping the ball alive by pop passing (a la the Sharks) and bringing on a fetcher.

Instead, due to the NZ Conference being by far the toughest and most competitive, the Stormers have to face a limited team with a brittle spine in the Sharks and will then rest up as the smashed up Kiwis arrive via 4 timezones for the Final.

Its even funnier when you remember that if it wasnt for Bryce Lawrence awarding the winning try, that wasnt, then the Hurricanes would never have beaten the Chiefs and with it the Stormers their home advantage.

That Bryce. Always doing the Saffas a favour.

yer from you but not 99% of the other Bulls fans, the reffing is poor overall, the speed of the game now makes it impossible for a ref to do a “great” job.

In the paper today an ex (SA) referee said Kraplan was brilliant and Peyper was poor.

OK, so the result in both was never in question but I think that they both were ‘poor’ in terms of actually seeing the game.

The ex referee seemed to suggest that the Bulls would have done better if Peyper blew it properly!!!

Kraplan just missed everything.

exactly, now where are those Bulls fans, Houston and Up the guts where are you, lots to discuss?

Sharks infringe
Ozzies and McCaw… cheat.

Did you know that in the last 6 x TriNs, since the tournament featuried 3 home games for each team, that the Springboks have only once avoided the Wooden Spoon. Essentially because they cant win at home.

Or away.

you have said here the Sharks don't cheat, they cheated last night numerous times on their own goal line in front of a SAFFA ref are you disputing that?

What a joke that is.

Regardless, Sharks would still have won and Genia’s try was set up by a forward pass a Dallas Cowboy Quarterback would be proud of.

And whilst McCheat is playing rugby, the kiwis have no legs to stand on when it comes to cheating.

the Sharks were committing professional fouls on their own try line and should have been binned end of story, Bryce has already been crucified and had death threats I would have thought that was enough you boys will never learn, the Bulls and Sharks “cheated” your word not mine last night in spades

LOL THE bulls cheated all night, you don’t have a leg to stand on, im ready to talk where are you?

@NZINCHINA-211: “Blackadder has already pleaded his side’s case by stating his props have been instructed at training not to put their hands on the deck during scrums and anyone entering a ruck needs to be cautious about remaining on his feet. ”
Looks like we complain with reason, no? Someone up there must’ve just joined the Keo realm, as it took them long enough. You watch Hougaard having to negate alot of red and black bodies to get to the ball on his side of the ruck. We’ll talk after…
