The Vodacom Bulls finished the league stage of the Carling Currie Cup as the top team on the standings. They booked a home semi-final on Saturday @ 14h00 against neighbours, the Xerox Lions. They should be the favourite to not only win the semi-final but also the final.
There is not much that Bulls have to change to win against the Lions. They will have to win the battle up front against a very good frontrow of the Xerox lions, continue to dominate in the loose with certain shortcomings in the back three that need to be addressed.
Due to a lack of matches played continuity could cost the Bulls in critical stages of a match.
