    Back later for the Sharks game.

  • 21

    First of the ‘nothing’ games. Will not make difference to either team… and Force in any case will be massacred.

    So sit back and enjoy, no stress!

  • 22

    See Dickinson will ref Stormers and Tahs next week in the first semi then Mark Lawrence will ref the Bulls/Saders game.

    That is Stormers win tomorrow which they should.

  • 23

    Puma the Bulls was never Christmas father before, if we smash the Stormers with our 2nds it will be good riddance.

    Dont trust anybody, it will be much better for the Bulls to play any team other than the Stormers in the final.

    Bulls is not stupid, whenever we play in finals the REST of SA turns against us. So please get it out of your mind, the A team will run on in Cape Town. At least we will play with the A plan.

    BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLS !!! With a B πŸ˜‰
