The Bulls may have provided a foretaste of the international season
ahead when they beat New Zealand’s Waikato Chiefs 61-17 Saturday to
claim their second Super 14 rugby title.
When the Bulls last won the title in 2007, by beating the Sharks, their
success ushered a season of South African dominance in test rugby
crowned by the Springboks’ victory at that year’s World Cup in France.
The conspicuous roles of many Springboks players in Saturday’s
record-breaking win at Loftus Versfeld in Pretoria may stand as a
warning to the British and Irish Lions of the magnitude of their task
when they meet South Africa in three tests in June and July.
