Have I got it wrong - the Bulls seems to play better rugby without Morne Steyn as the 10  pivot?

We should get the Jaguares and Highlanders teams later on this evening but I doubt if the Waratahs or Brumbies sides will be announced before the round starts. Managers in the Sportsdeck game will still be able to make changes but if you have Waratahs or Brumbies players in the Superbru game you'll have to trade them out before 08h05 tomorrow or else take a bit of a gamble on them starting. 

I stacked my Superbru side with Brumbies last week because they were playing the Sunwolves and I'm wondering whether to stick with Tevita Kuridrani, Pete Samu, Folau Faingaa and Connal McInerney or trade them.
