What a fantastic display of rugby! Yes, the Super 14 final for 2009 was a lesson in how rugby should be played.
The Chiefs started off well and were worthy finalists. The Bulls however, are even better and are worthy champions. Any coach or player that wants to learn how to play rugby, get a copy of the game.
The 44 points is the biggest win margin in the history of the finals, with the Bulls winning 61-17.
Loftus was a sea of Bull and I am sure that the parties carried on until sunrise today. Anyway to the Bulls, I salute you; well done on a great Super 14.
The Springboks 7-a-side are champions on the world tonight. And although they lost to Fiji 20-19 in the final, the points they had gathered through the season was too great for any other nation to make up.
Fiji came second and England third. Paul Treu and his charges will certainly believe that the effort and dedication that was put into the pre-season paid off handsomely.
The British Lions started off their 2009 tour of South Africa with a strong comeback win against a Royal XV in Rustenburg on Saturday. They had to come from behind to win 25-37 while trailing with 15 minutes to go.
Yes, one can not read much into the opening game of the tour, but a mouth watering encounter is set for the first test in Durban.
The Boks that played in Windhoek against a Namibian XV came off with a solid 37-7 win. The win was laboured, but it was to be expected, given that it was a squad team playing.
What would your side be for the Lions? My side has changed some since the last one I put out. Let me know what you think.
