That Brumbies scrum is going to hand the Bulls their own arse.
The Bulls scrum has been deteriorating for two years to a level which is laughable. Werner Kruger has always been a prop that holds on at TH as LONG as his LH prop is not dominated.
Well unfortunately Dean Greyling at LH for the Bulls is the weakest scrummaging LH in the entire competition (and a fucking penalty generating fool to boot).
The Bulls have got away with it this year until the last few rounds where teams really targeted the scrums. Their props make up for it in the loose (both hit the rucks really hard and are reasonably mobile).
The other area to attack is the lineout. Not sure people here realise that Juandre Kruger has left for France because of a contract bungle. Someone forgot to check playoff dates and agreed to release him. The frogs refused to change the date. Muppets.
Spies is also injured and he called the lineouts when J. Kruger was off the park. Between them they probably took about 80% of our own ball in the last couple of years.
We have a good youngster at 5 but he is still learning. Both Potgieter's are good in the air but they hardly dominate the lineout.
The Bulls rely on winning the collision. The Stormer's bitch slapped the Bulls pack 2 weeks ago. I think they will be up for it at home this weekend and come very hard, lead by Flip vd Merwe.
Target the scrums, kick the goals and counter Steyn's kicking for field position (which in my view is better than it has ever been) and it's a doddle.
