Uncle Jannie from Centurion will one day tell his grandson at Xmas time that during the 2009 Super14 final at Loftus, he punched a guy's lights out because he said Morne Steyn isn't SA's greatest flyhalf ever...

Like loftus i would be the first one to agree that we have some rubbish supporters, but so does every other team. I can assure you that how someone turns out has nothing to do with the rugby team they support. And i am Afrikaans and a HUGE bulls supporter, but I am currently 2nd year at tuks studying BSc in english and passing everything. I also lived in Australia for 2 years where I had season tickets for the Western Force games and when they didn't play the bulls or another SA team i was the biggest force supporter in the world and i have also been to cape town and thought it was great!!! I'm not trying to make myself sound good or well travelled or whatever you want to call it. My point is stop generalising about Afrikaans people and the bulls supporters!! When I was about 10 the sharks played at loftus and won, when me and my dad walked past a sharks fan after the game he pulled down his pants and showed me his .... I don't walk around and tell everyone that all sharks supporters are perverts!!! So get a life and STOP GENERALISING! . Bulls4eva........and eva");

How many teams have appeared in the play-offs five times or more? Just five teams and the Bulls are one of them. Yes, they are not best, or as the article suggests, pale into significance when compared to the Crusaders. But it is not bad when you start matching the Brumbies (Australia's best side) for titles won (which they may well do) and play-offs reached! BTW, I'm an English speaking Bulls supporter....

The Bulls have a long way to go before they can start competing in terms of historic stats.<br /><br />But then there's also no doubting that the Bulls are one of the top teams at the moment, and have been for the past couple of years.
