Another SA site is predicting Bulls by 2, with both teams scoring 4 tries. If that turns out to be correct what a game it will be. If/when the Bulls win I hope it’s by 7 or less. This game is getting a lot of exposure in he press and I’m expecting a big crowd, which will be good for the Reds not only for the atmosphere but the money the QRU desperately needs. Bulls by 6.

@Red Menace, I did manage to catch Mark Lawrence being interviewed at half time, and quite enjoyed it. I have noticed a lot more of that kind of thing this season, mostly with the players though, and I think it is great for the general fans to see a more human side of the players/officials.

I totally agree with you regarding the maul. It’s part of the game, and is quite an art-form to get right. It should be appreciated as such.

Both teams have been good this season, I think it will be close, but the Bulls should take it. 12 Points max difference…

What do you think?

Just a bit more on the Reds/Bulls match. I don’t believe in past stats, like the ones I posted earlier. Anyway I reckon the Bulls will win through their forwards. Set piece, rolling maul will strangle the Reds and starve the backs of the ball. I actually like the rolling maul, it really sets apart Rugby from the other football codes. Just because one team/country is good at it doesn’t mean we should change the laws to stop it. All I hope for this game is that the ref doesn’t decide the game….either way!
BTW, Did anyone else see Mark Lawrence being interviewed at half-time in the Lions/Reds game? Never seen that before.
Cheers and go the Reds!
