Bulls will need to find a chink in Dobbos armour....same as the Boks found with the Ab's....I don't think Pote has the acumen for that.

Business class ticket for Rassie perhaps?

I would rate our chances quite high, but no way I will just dismiss the Bulls and take a win for granted.
As you mentioned, no one gave the Boks any chance in NZ

Can't blame you guys....bulls will need to time travel and bring Vic, Bakkies and Fdp back from their prime to have any hope of finishing within 10 of wiepie next week....the last time a team was given this little a chance to win a cc semi was 2009....same teams, but totally reversed expectations.

Agree. It seems odd as he is so talented. I really think he’s tracking well. But if that is what he does then it was never going to mean enough for him
I’ve got this sneaky suspicion the selectors are still keen but want him playing loads of rugby which the Maori tour will give him

I just hope being left out of ABs 51 doesn't demoralise him

As the coaches say probably better he's playing than not at all. He is still so young too

The only 9 that has any form of attacking incentive that I can think of and has played at Twickenham is probably Reinach .... but then again , he has some serious brain farts
