The real question is: how fit are the Brumbies at the moment?
I hope I'm wrong, but I think they're far away from their best. Their performace level has been steadily lowering in the second half of the season and the last two games were very disappointing. The Lions tour, which many Brumbies took part in, was probably back and nerve-breaking for most of them and I guess it is hard to come back after a week fully fit and ready for the final round of the competition and the superrugby play-offs.
Then they had a long flight to Pretoria and just a few days to get used to a new time zone, to knock into shape and try to beat the Bulls where they haven't lost a game this season. Very difficult, but let's say "go Brumbies".
