I played with the results in the Super 14 competition and came up with these interesting facts. Well, off course because they look so favourable for the Bulls, that’s why I publish them. I realise that this means sweet blue nothing in the next few weeks.
The Waratahs must have wondered what they were wandering into as they sauntered through Invercargill airport.

I wonder if we are not running away with the success we have in this years Super 14. Remember how Peter de Villiers first matches as Springbok coach panned out. We must be careful, we might break the continuity we build up. Lessons was learned last time, are we going to make the same mistakes?
