    NZ teams like NZ play counter attacking rugby. They score most their tries of kick returns. The Bulls got Morne Steyn. They use tactical kicks. Currently Morne kicks everything down the throat of the opposition back 3. Nice seeing you Bulls.

    4 @ Spooony:
    Interestingly, the Crusaders kick more than the Bulls do…

    This year, the Crusaders have kicked on average every 37 seconds, whereas the Bulls have kicked on average every 39 seconds.

    But heck, don’t let reason confuse your clear hatred for the Bulls!

    That said, the Saders should still win.

    @ grootblousmile:
    No my mate I will be cheering him on. It has nothing to do who kicks more. Kicking every 10 seconds in space is better than kicking every minute down Daggs throat and conceding 7.

    The Bulls have scored the most tries of all the teams in the play offs this Super 15, but unfortunately have also conceeded the most tries of the 6 teams. Bulls have scored 3 more than Crusaders and conceeded 4 more than them, assuming the stats are correct.

    @ Bullscot:
    It has nothing to do with the amount of tries but the style of each team. Against NZ sides your tactical kicking must be spot on as they score a lot of tries from kick returns. They are a counter attacking team. That is why a back 3 is important to them.

    Hello all. Looking forward to tomorrow – interestingly, there seems to be quite a wide difference of opinion by analysts as to who will make it.
