Dire effort from the Bulls this evening. They barely threatened and looked rather uninterested, and were physically domianted by the Crusaders who look to be in excellent form. A number of the Bulls' big name players had poor matches IMO, Wynand Olivier and Pierre Spies in particular who seems to be getting less impressive each season.

Brilliant result given the Stormers hadn't lost all season up until that point. NZer Mike Harris with the crucial try, great to see him performing so well this year.

Only a matter of time given the turgid rugby the Stormers play. They make the Bulls look interesting.

I won't disagree with that. They're effective in their style of play but that style hasn't exactly transformed to entertainment this year. I remember a few of their games last year were excellent and they scored some great tries (one at Waikato Stadium a length of the field effort would've been close to the best all season) so its unusual to see them play this conservative.

They demolished the Force last month but their game for the past couple of seasons has been built primarily on defence/10 man rugby (they had the best defensive record in last year’s comp). Habana like he does for the Boks hardly ever sees the ball as Peter Grant simply receives the ball then thumps it into the corners. The Reds had a dart at them, Stormers defence for once wasn’t so hot and they had no comeback. Frustrating thing is that it’s not like they don't have the backs to try and play a more expansive game.
