2009 Super 14 Final - Betting Odds and Tips

Well the Bulls have done it. In what must be the best comeback victory in the history of Super Rugby finals, the Bulls came back from 20-7 down and snot-klapped the Crusaders with good old Bulls power rugby.

On the other side of the draw, the Chiefs deservedly beat the Hurricanes who never really looked like winning it.

There can be no doubt that the two best teams have made the final. The Bulls have consistently played winning rugby, and the Chiefs have by far been the most entertaining team to watch.

The Final should be a cracker, and the Bulls should be careful not to believe all the media hype that is is theirs to lose. This Chiefs side can really hurt them. The no-name tight five have delivered all season and will stand up in the trenches, but it is at lineout time that the Bulls should dominate. The Chiefs backline is still the very potent, even without Sivivatu. Kahui is back at centre and he caused the Bulls all sorts f headaches in the pool match between these two sides.

The Bulls on the other hand has a very settled team and for the first time ever look like scoring tries, and do, when they move the ball. Olivier's return is huge and should plug the midfield holes that the Crusaders found last week. Morne Steyn and Zane Kirchner have both made massive claims on Lions test starts. Another solid performance and they will surely be the Bok 10 and 15.

Bring it on. The Battle of the Cattle. Bulls by less than 7.
