Chester gives Bulls the thumbs up

If the Bulls thought they weren't going to get any support from Cape Town this weekend, they are very much mistaken. The Bulls probably have just as much support in the Cape as they'll have at Loftus on Saturday.

World cup-winning Springbok wing, Chester Williams, says there's no reason why the Bulls can't beat the Crusaders on Saturday and advance to the final. Williams, who co-owns a catering business these days, says there are a few reasons why the Bulls will walk off Loftus as victors.

"The Bulls are playing at Loftus and that already gives them a good chance of beating the Crusaders. The 'saders have had to travel from New Zealand and that's going to be a big factor in the game."

Williams says the Bulls have been playing a winning brand of rugby this season.

"The structure and the game they play suit the Bulls. Even though they have one of their centres struggling with injury and the other out through sus! pension, I think the Bulls should still be able to impose themselves on the Crusaders."

Kick off at Loftus on Saturday is at 15h00.
