@ ben-die-bul:
Bulle moet nou maar net wen, teen alle koste. Dan hoop ons maar vir n wonderwerk.
Saders almost did it.. but not quite
How tired will the Chiefs be after this riller?
That was awesome rugby to watch. Let us hope tonights game is much of the same.
Good luck to Bulls tonight. They should win this and be on the first flight to Sydney tomorrow. Need to get the day flight out. Unless Bulls do a Bulls and go later on this week. Well that is if Bulls win but feel they will do.
Wanted to go with chiefs on bru, damn I would have climbed quite a bit had I gone with them. Said all week they would sneak a win here. Then after speaking to some kiwi mates on keo went with Saders.
suppose the Bulls are less motivated to beat the Brumbies. And vica versa. Think both teams are going to play not to win
Chiefs gaan hul lippe aflek om die Bulle in Hamilton te kry, revenge vir 2009 se slagting van die Mooloo koeie !
Cruden het Carter oorskadu.
Wel, dan moetb die Bulle maar net daar oorkant gaan wen…as jy n kampioenspan wil wees, moet jy dit oral kan doen, nie net by die huis nie.
En die Bulle KAN!!!!
Net n moosa klomp hekgeld op Loftus wat die Crusaders ons kos…dis al.
Bulle gaan die kompetisie wen.

Dankie Nic, ek is darem die een ou wat iets question met REDE. Glad nie so blind soos wat party ander hier is nie
245 @ grootblousmile:
Just the same as last year. They had to play Saders in the semi and drilled my Sharks in the final. Then Sharks were exhausted by the time they had their 3rd long haul flight in 3 weeks. Bulls will be a lot more rested, never played last week and only one flight to take out.
16 of 16 semi finals in NZ have been won by the home team
Well what a reward for the victor of the next semi – going to Hamilton to play the Chiefs!
GBS
told ya the chiefs
do you reall wan me joini. your bru if I’m going to break away like this ? 🙂
@ Puma:
Please Puma dont take your own life, we all love you here. You feel so bad about it you make me worry. It is OK old mate.
245: As die Bulle wen vanmiddag, teen die tyd wat hul in Hamilton aankom (Maandag?) het die Chiefs al 2 ekstra dae gerus, nee wat, as jy moet vlieg is jy klaar 12 punte agter.
Maar ons sal hoop vir die beste.
Bulle se net-net verloor teen Reds en Brumbies byt hul nou.
I do hope now all the Bulls Supporters get to Loftus. As we heard it is not sold out. Think most were hoping to go next week to the final, well times are hard and think some were saving their money for the big one. Now this is the last they will see Bulls play there for this years SR. SO GET THERE AND FILL THAT STADIUM TONIGHT BULL SUPPORTERS. Think many will do that now and get some tickets for the game tonight knowing no final at Loftus next week. Need to send their boys off with huge support there tonight. Just don’t see the Brumbies beating the Bulls.
Must say, I don’t have must sympathy for the Saders, so maybe at the end it is justice anyway, Bulls/Chiefs, my two favourite teams in the comp….with the Brumbies, of course (but not today, Jake moet op sy moer kry in SnorCity vandag!)
@ nga puhi:
So my call turned out to be prophetic after all 🙂
255 @ superBul:
Howzit my old maat. Super I have no clue which post you are referring too? You need to put the post number on just before you post.
So not sure what to answer back to there….
Puma
hate to break it to you, Brumbies will win tonight
by 9
young Turk
hindsight is a wonderful blessing 😉
259 @ The_Young_Turk:
Gooooooooooooo Bulllssssssssss!
@ Puma:
its because you are so gutted that you did not pick the Chiefs
OK fellas… join SuperBru… yes you too nga puhi!
Wel, van al die velde in NZ het die Bulle nog die beste gevaar in Hamilton, maar ons moet eers vanmiddag wen.
261 @ nga puhi:
Well they could, just doubt it. I should have gone with Chiefs damn really wanted to until after speaking to NZINCHINA on keo, he said Saders would definitely win and so did Cane. I told them both Chiefs would win it. Told them that all Chiefs needed was one point extra than Saders to win…..hahahahaha. And there they go and win by one point…lol. Why I put Saders on bru when the whole week thought Chiefs could win have no idea. Not gonna listen to you kiwis about the kiwis sides again. Will go with my own thoughts…. 🙂 🙂 Then again I am sitting about in the middle of our bru pool….hahaha.
Well done to the Chiefs Nga, Know that is not your team, but hell that was a great game to watch from both sides. Felt like it was the final being played. Awesome rugby to watch.
@ nga puhi:
@261 Tell you what, if the Brumbies win tonite, Jake White would have turned Ozzie (and world rugby)around in his first year as coach big time!
Another nice game coming up on TV is schools rugby, Grey College vs Grey High School, SS8 & SHD at 12:55
