    Hope tahs don’t score again to keep points diff low….

    86 – Turk, It would have been great to have 3 saffa teams in the semi. We have never had that. Maybe next year. Though still proud to see two saffa teams right up there this year. Stormers are playing magnificent rugby this year. Bulls too though they just need to sort out their defence. Otherwise Bulls are playing very well.

    Morning Blue Bird and Piet.

    84: hehhehe, ja, maar onthou ons is die beste sirkus in die wêreld, en volgende week is ons in Aapstad, as jy wil kom kyk !

    Thats Tahs with their bonus point. Old Griquas, Think your team could make the semi. Just need to beat the Canes next week.

  • 98

    @90 manpeter No doubt our bullyboys were lucky last night to be honest. Have to work on their defense, has been a problem all season. Refereeing was again determining factor as in so many matches this season…

  • 99

    Try Lachie Turner

    bdb, you’re missing the point. As Naas proved earlier this morning you have to watch the Maku’s hands when he delivered the pass. It was clearly a forward pass. But, as we know the scoreboard has the last word…

    90 – Piet, That is the only weak part of the Bulls game is their defence. It is fine when they are out scoring the other team with tries, but when it is close like last night, then they need to get first time tackles. Saders were running through them plenty times. Stormers are a better attacking side. So Bulls need to work on that this week.

    Al Baxter, makes a break, ball in hand, tryline looming – nooo, that’s not reality!!

  • 103

    Another try for Chiefs.

    @93 I don’t think with the new format it’s going to be likely to have 3 teams in semis from one country. Not sure if i like the new format but will suspend judgement to see how it turns out in practice. Would prefer a super11 myself with 4 saffa, 4 kiwi and 3 ozzie teams…

    95: en, waarom word ek nie gegroet nie ? 😉

    100: sal weer gaan kyk.

    108 – Turk, I don’t think the new format next year will be as good. Should have stuck to what we have now just add the Rebels on.

    No we will ever see 3 teams from one country in a semi again.

    108 – Turk, to make it fair, I would have like to see a S12. With 4 saffa, 4 kiwi and 4 Aussie sides. Would have been more interesting.

  • 116

    107 – Okay Sharky….lol.

  • 117

    Pieta – An abridged version of the Bulls / Saders game is broadcast tomorrow morning at 06:00 to 07:00 on SS1 on DSTV…. an hour long in stead of 80 minutes… they basically just cut out stoppages…

    Try no 2 for Jackson Willison
