i tried to tell people that the bulls wouldnt be the same rubbish side they were in 2008

The Bulls were amazing last night. I suspect they, along with the Sharks, are going to cause a lot of problems in NZ and Aust this year.

I just hope the Force have an answer to the Bulls They were playing like it were there last game ever. My son said that each of them were a "one man army" destroying everything in their way.

Bakkies Botha and Pierre Spies were lethal and then with players like Gutro, Habana, Kirchner and Du Preez to back them up and a 5eight like Morne Steyn you cannot really loose to average teams

From what I saw of the Sharks in their match vs Lions, they're a very ordinary side making lots of fundamental errors.

Or maybe the Lions just dragged them down to their level of mediocrity!

I must say that Rene Ranger really impressed for the Blues He was a hand full every time he touched the ball

[Bondiflyer]

The Bulls have probably one of the most intimidating forward packs in world rugby.

Add DuPreez, Habana and a few others, and they are a lethal combination when in form and concentrating.

I'd like to see them take on the Brumbies. That would be a great game. Smith would have his work cut out, but the Brumbies backs would challenge them.

11 tries my count..will have to download the game no doubt!

Hope force can beat the Bulls when we are up against them! ... but the blues did beat us :s eep hopefully it will make for a good game!

The Bulls are the benchmark this year. They are unbeatable at home and very likely 2009 champions.
