LOL @ editor.

The result of this game depends on the attitude the Bulls come with - and whether Greyling, Werner Kruger, Flip vd Merwe and co. can for once not give away a plethora of penalties. Because if there is any team that's got the Crusaders' number, it's the Bulls. If the Bulls can stand up to the 'Saders in the scrums, put pressure on them in the line-outs and get in their faces on defense, then they can win (providing Morné has his kicking boots on). However, if they can't, and the Crusaders are allowed to get momentum, the Bulls can forget about it. As simple as that.

And the writers of this column is actually correct to point out Pierre Spies is one to watch, because I think a lot will depend on how he performs. Will he remain anonymous at the back, or will he step up to his former self like he did at the World Cup and in the 1st test against England? Because his team needs him to.

@the ed, LOL you got to be gentle with jonesy2, that boy is a french fry short of a Happy Meal. Here's his second best from May 10th: "riiiight. even if you think the bulls are going to beat the tahs which they wont,....? youre high as a kite." And the result: Waratahs 24 - 27 Bulls.

And now for his finest moment:

jonesey2 says this about Scotland vs. Oz: "anyone failing to recognise the probability that scotland are going to concede a crazy amount of tries are just being completely dilusional. im not saying that its impossible for scotland to win but predicting an upset is just pathetic because its only done out of spite and so easy to turn around and claim that australia should have won all along if the wallabies get up. all you claim you think scotland can win, go down to the TAB and put half your latest or next pay check on that result then....... whats that? thought so."

@jonesy2 I think about your predictions every time I go to my bookie....and then bet against them....that is how consistently wrong you have been.

@ jonesy2 - I think any 14 year old blogger would describe that come-back by Ed as "being owned"..!

Both are very good teams. Notwithstanding their styles are different, they both play well structured rugby and are both opportunists. However on form this year and as a team in the ascendency, the Saders deserve the win.

Agree PR that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out that the Saders took their foot off the gas to preserve energy in the 2nd half last week.
