I’m still deciding whether I will be wearing my Stormers or Bok jersey at Loftus tomorrow

Ha ha
Well said
If you guys want a Saffa team to win this competition, you will have to want the Bulls to beat the Sharks tomorrow… and to go on to beat the Stormers next week….
Tomorrow night of course, I will be supporting my beloved Sharks…. 🙂
@ Puma: Strange how people love the underdog
199 @ Stormersboy:
Bwaaaaaahahahahahahaha. Same as my Sharks this year. 🙂
Nothing going the Chiefs way, Saders far too pumped up today.
Think even the Blues will beat this Chiefs team even after they have to travel back to NZ.

That will depend on how much the Bulls want it
They have the home ground tomorrow, so they should get that win
The Stormers have been poor this year, but I think they will definitely be up for next week
If your boys can pull that one off, well, then they should go all the way, but it’s not going to be easy
15 Minutes to go in the match, the Crusaders have this one sown up… fat lady is already up and ready. There’s no way they can lose from this score
This ref is also not helping Chiefs, Crusaders miles off-side at lose scrums.
130 @ nortierd:
I’m talking about support… and supporting a Saffa team to go all the way… start shouting FOR the Bulls now, in stead of shouting AT them!
Hahaha

Sal more so maak
Picked the Bulls, so I always shout for my pick for that 80 minutes
I start shouting at them when they screw me out of a margin point
🙂
@ nortierd: Stormers had an imploding Cheetah’s team last week, last good game they won was against Brumbies and next game they reverted to form. Bulls will kill them at Newlands
Chiefs getting a snot klap here
3 tries is enough thanks Crusaders, keep it back now, werk saam klas

Very possible and on current form it certainly should pan out that way, but I think the Bulls might be in for a surprise next week

Challenge accepted
Less than 8 minutes to go, Chiefs try, Ngatai
138 @ nortierd:
Do you get Bekker back for next weeks game or is he out for that as well? Remember reading he might just make that game before he leaves for overseas.
@ Puma: Wonder if he’ll be picked at his usual center position or lock?
Crusaders 36 / 15 Chiefs
@ Gena_ZA:
Agreed. The Stormers played like the team they were last year, and the Cheetahs did the same.
If we kick on from there then it’s even money for Newlands. Shading the Stormers in fact.
Surely the Chiefs can’t get 2 converted tries in 4 minutes from here
Chiefs penalty… they go for touch… great touchfinder
Less than 3 minutes to go
Not in straight into the lineout… whoopie!
I am talking Super Rugby here not years gone by. Sharks have the best record out of any of the teams beating Bulls at Loftus in Super Rugby. We could win tomorrow night. Only thing we do tire at altitude.
I would have been even more confident had we started with Kanko. He is there to get selected and just left out. Such a pity too to have lost PSDT. We still have a good team. Sharks will play for pride. Bulls will be in a mean mood to top the log as well. Gonna be a great game I think.
Just have to hope that Jaftha has is fair and has a good game tomorrow.
@ grootblousmile: Chiefs haven’t won their last four line-outs, would have more luck playing the lottery
