Strengths
The biggest strength of this team is its forward pack. They have been around now for sometime (more then any other S14 side) and know to win. They have been in the semis for two years in a row. They have add some unbelievable young talent, a Aus Todd Louden who will add help in the away games and a potential good backline.

Weakness
There biggest weakness is that they play to a structure and once the wheels come off there is no plan B. They are also bad travellers.
 
Draw
The baddest in the competition like the Stormers at first look. If they will get wins here they will be almost certain in the playoffs.     
                                                             
Questions
Can the Bulls maintain the same record as the last two years. Can Todd Louden take this potential talented backline to where he wants to. Can the young talent play to there potential. Can they throw  that bad travel tag away.  Can the two 7 Boks , Basson and Dellmas perform for the Bulls like for the 7 Boks? Can the injured players make a big comeback?

Look Out For
It is to hard to name certain players here.

Prediction
Likewise the Stormers. If this team can get a few wins under the belt first up it will take some team to stop them at home. Home playoffs my prediction.
