Boland travel to Pretoria to take on the Bulls.
In my opinion it is not really a matter of who will win here as the Blue bulls are taking no chances and have fielded a full strength side.
So the question this week is is not so much who will win bu rather which Superbru predictor will get the closest margin of victory correct. We have picks giving the Bulls victory with the margin varying from 71 points to 10 points. There is also 1 pick giving Boland the victory by 6 points
Kick-off in Pretoria at 19:10 SA Time.

@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 7) :

@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 7) : @KSA Shark © (Comment 8) : I’m still at work. 👿
@KSA Shark © (Comment 8) :

@McLovin (Comment 9) :
suckeeeeeeeeeer!!! 😉
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 10) :
Yeah it was goooooooooooooood. Even though we do have a Nando’s I MADE this myself with the Nando’s spices I brought from SA.
Don’t forget your Guinness Premiership Superbru picks the 1st match for this weekend is tonight
@McLovin (Comment 9) :
Not good , on a friday night nogaal..what gives?
@KSA Shark © (Comment 12) :
I forgot last week..and still scored okay 😎
I did my CL picks , theres a whole load of matches coming up.
Been thinking ..there has to be atleast one more upset from the minnow teams before the end of the CC.I just hope it doesn’t come against the Lions.Tonight would be good…maybe tomorrow against Province 😎
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 13) :
It was still mid afternoon for him in the UK 😉
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 14) :
Hence my ranting last week. You guys who made no picks last week still have the same score as me 👿
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 15) :
I think it is only Lions, and Cheetahs who have a chance of that happening. They both got minimal to no Boks back and the other three all got plenty Boks back.
That said though, I don’t think there will be any more upsets. Big five to win every game from here onwards against the minnows.
Time to get the little Al-Qaedas to bed.
Back in a bit.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 19) :
😀
@KSA Shark © (Comment 16) :
I forget the few hours of time difference.
I suspect this is going to be a game that will easily achieve the a point a minute target.
