WP sneaked into the Semis, whereas the Blue Bulls ended well on TOP of the Log…
But if you lose here, the rest of the season, however well or poorly you did, does not matter… the winning team advances to the FINAL!
I am always scared of a weaker team having ONE EXCELLENT match in their season and a stronger team having one shocker in their season.
So, as a Blue Bulls supporter, I hope the Blue Bulls give their all, to take the win tonight.
The pundits all think that the Blue Bulls will win rather comfortably tonight, 16 points and upwards…. but hey, WP is the old arch-enemy and always produce their best against the Blue Bulls.
Players out on the field… such a pity the supporters in the stands are not allowed yet…
