This weekend the Bulls are looking to continue their march to retaining the Super Rugby title with a match against another team above them in the table, The Waratahs.

I was wondering what a Waratah was... so I Googled it.

A Waratah is defined as - Waratah (Telopea) is a genus of five species of large shrubs or small trees in the Proteaceae, native to the southeastern parts of Australia

So basically what this weekend comes down to is whether a raging stampede of Bulls can crush a flower. On current form... I'd say that it almost looks like a forgone conclusion. The Waratahs are looking increasingly strained in their efforts to secure a playoff place, while the Bulls have been on the rampage of late and are looking to finish of the round robin section of the tournament with 7 wins from their last 7 games.

The Bulls forwards pack has been in mercurial form and the back line is growing more devastating and clinical in their execution of set play and broken play tactics by the week. And with the Bulls now rotating key players to give them a break the squad is fresh and rearing to go barring one or two of the more serious injuries.

All in all it doesn't look good for the Waratahs this weekend, and if I were part of the traveling flowers I would be very unhappy about having to travel to Loftus this week to play the current champions.

After the birthday present that I got last weekend from the Bulls with a win and a bonus point, I expect them to smash the Tahs into the ground and continue the march to another playoff phase for the boys from Pretoria.

Only if they start with Danie Rossouw. Since they have started with him, he has been the difference. Last week, he changed the complexion of the game with his presence, forget that he scored 2 tries.
