Bulls (16) 25 / Stormers (3) 17 (Final Score)
The Vodacom Bulls hosted the Vodacom Stormers in an EPIC Final at the Orlando Stadium, Soweto, South Africa at 17:00 SA Time. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA.
The Bulls won a thriller in Soweto….
Bulls retain the much sought after trophy, what a champion team!
Final score Bulls 25 / 17.
‘Gore Them!” The legend was in Afrikaans but for those unable to decipher the language, the caricature of a raging bull was a dead giveaway. This was not a message of goodwill.
We wanted a good proper North vs South battle for years. Well we have it. Next Saturday we have The Stormers visiting the Bulls new “Home” in Orlando to challenge the Champions and try to become the second South African team to lift the Super 14 trophy.
My Rating of the Players. This might just be the exact two teams taking each other on in Soweto. Although Gerhard vd Heever will most probably replace Jaco vd Westhuizen at wing.
Vodacom Bulls loose forward, Dewald Potgieter, has extended his contract with the franchise untill 2013.
Is this what Grootblousmile meant? Well this story wont go away. And heaven forbid us the Bulls lose this semi-final. Then we will hear it another 10 years or longer.
If the Crusaders players can persuade their jumbled body clocks to forgive them the tortuous regime of the last few weeks, the New Zealanders have a famous victory within their grasp in Soweto this weekend.
This will be my last article about the downgraded North vs South clash we all looked forward to. At one stage i hoped that we came second in the Super14 to give us a chance of playing the Super 14 final at Newlands versus our arch-rivals the Stormers. Only time will tell whether the Bulls played a masterstroke or made the biggest cock-up this decade.
De Wet Barry’s punishing defence has won South Africa a rugby Test against Australia at Newlands, but the Stormers have no doubt that Juan de Jongh will stand his ground against the veteran Springbok in Saturday’s Super 14 clash.
We will talk about the Bulls loss for sure. Lets start here! They say a picture is worth a thousand words or something like that. Need i say more.
World Cup winning-coach Jake White believes the form of scrumhalf Fourie du Preez is one of the major reasons the Bulls have scored so many tries this season.
Pierre Spies and Gurthrö Steenkamp will join eight other team mates with 50 Super 14 caps against the losing finalist from last year’s competition.
This is one to read. Written by JJ Harmse, take the good, take the bad its up to you. Put it in your pipe and smoke it.

Reading trough all the web sites, News blogs and Sports Blogs, I started to feel uncomfortable. I am not used to the “we all stand behind the Bulls” as well as “we support the Bulls”, it is making me uneasy.Where are you Saint, we need someone to chop us down to size a bit.
The words of the song “Oh Lord it’s hard to be humble”, by Mac Davis, started ringing in my ears.

(I thought this might fit in well here, seeing as it is usually me and a lot of muppits here)
I said it numerous times this season. Either someone is reading my posts or see it the way I see it. The Bulls are aiming to emulate the 7 times champions, the Crusaders. Mark Hinton from the Sunday Star Times in New Zealand wrote the following article.

The Bulls hosted the Brumbies at Loftus, Pretoria late this afternoon. This is the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast on SuperSport 1 on DSTV in SA. The Bulls won in impressive style, going away at the end and easily bagging full 5 Log Points to move alone to the top of the Super 14 table. They denied the Brumbies from any log points in the process. The Final score was Bulls 50 / 32.

Loftus Versfeld, home to the Currie Cup and Super 14 champions, home to Wynie Strydom and last but not least, home to probably the greatest mass of copyright infringement agents in South Africa, also doubling as ‘the fans’, and please, if you own a cap that says BULL’S and you don’t know what I am talking about, and you don’t understand what is wrong with a cap saying BULL’S, stop reading now (because you probably already missed the thread of the story), and hand yourself over to the nearest police officer.
