Bulls vs Griffons
The unbeaten Bulls welcome the winless Griffons to their fortress Loftus Versfeld. The home side had their 100% record ended in the last match when they drew 34-34 with the Cheetahs. They will be kicking themselves after they led by 20 points at one stage only to share the spoils. The Griffons have had a tough journey and their struggles were again exposed against WP when they went down 39-17. They will need a massive improvement otherwise we are likely to witness a cricket score in this match. They will be hoping that Captain Dewald Pretorius is over his injury as he was sorely missed.
TIP: The biggest obstacle facing the Bulls in this match is complacency as this was the problem against the Cheetahs. Once they build a big lead, they went to sleep and, in the end, only a late penalty saved them from defeat. The Griffons have shipped almost 300 points in their five matches which is just not good enough at this level. Their attack has looked better in recent match but they will be mauled badly if the defence does not improve. The bookies have the Bulls as favorites and I am also backing them for the win. The best odds on this bet are as follows: Tictacbets 1.01, Betway 1.01 and Bettabets 1.01

PREDICTION
It is difficult to see anything other than a landslide win for the Bulls as they are superior in every department. Their attack has been super impressive all season with Jaco van der Walt pulling the string in the ten jersey. The interlink between forwards and backs has been a joy to watch with Celimpilo Gumede looking like a Springbok with every match. The visitors best chance of making this a close encounter will be to stay away from the set pieces and adopt a ball in hand approach. They have some excellent attacking players like Kyle Cyster and Gurshwin Wehr. If they are given any space they can hurt the Bulls. I am predicting a Bulls win by 50 points.

Sports crazy fan that follows all major sport but the game with the oval ball is my real passion. Was an age level rugby coach and a huge supporter of the Springboks and diehard Liverpool man. I’m an experienced punter and sports writer whose predictions/tips are sure to stir up the emotions. I love the occasional wager on the underdog.
