A lot of Bools hype

The "new look" team is focusing around Spies. Sadie, even though not wanting to compare with the Stormers, immediately does so, saying his mind and body has never been pushed so far, as at the Bools. Anybody who finds the Bools pattern play straining the little grey cells, has to be operating with half a deck surely.

I think the Bools are really going to struggle this year without Victor. Look for a mid pack performance at best.....and early mouth award for Sadie. Perhaps he should look at a few Rathbone tapes.....guys who insult their old fanchises tend to get poetic justice.

That remark by Sadieirritated me as well. It is only a quote and might be out of context, but in rather bad taste IMO. Hope the young guys that stuck with WP proves to be worth more than the ones that left.

I think young Sadie was suffering from training at altitude. Quite an advantage bulle have there.

Draad I have not seen Du Plessis playing at center or Pat Howrd - both mentioned by Saffex - but hopefully they are as good as Dave thinks.

It's common knowledge that the Cape is slacker central. Most players that go there become party animals and out of shape. Just look at Januarie et al over the years. Sloppy joes doing what sloppy joes do best. The Bulls play a far better and more advanced brand of rugby; Sadie, welcome to a real super rugby franchise. One with a future ahead of it. Stormers already in decline.

(and you say this based on what? Had a chat to the feries had you?)

WTF, we were way better than the Bools last year, advanced brand of rugby my ass. The IRB are trying their outmost to try and negate that brand of rugby, coase its boring. |(I do not agree with that sentiment however).

Never took you for a groupy though, thought you had your whits about you.

Last year the Stormers were very poor. They were winning games by sheer fortune, particularly the first six rounds. The Bulls had their issues last year but their brand has been far more dynamic for many years.

As for Cape Town. I know it well enough to know the mentality that goes on. Their players are not renound for their conditioning of discipline.

I know it well enough to know the mentality that goes on (is that a fact, then the rugby acumen and tallent must really be outstanding in the Cape to have performed like they have in recent years, and that in the pro era and all. I really hope you've enjoyed your stay over here on your frequent vissits. Must have been a blast!. Till next time! Adios!Their players are not renound for their conditioning of discipline.
