Super 14 Final Bulls vs. Chiefs
Tomorrow is easily one of my favorite days of the year - so much intense rugby I almost don't know what to do - some how I will manage.
First we start with Bulls & Chiefs in the S14. As you see above the Bulls poses one of biggest freak shows in world Rugby - Pierre Spies. He just one of many world class players on the Bulls at the moment. To give you guys some stats on him to display his freakish abilities here we go
- 2 meters tall or 6'6"
- Weight 110kgs/242lbs and 6% body fat
- He can Bench Press 365lbs/165KG
- Deadlifts 530lbs/220kg
- Can do a standing jump onto a platform 1.4 meters high (4.6 Feet)
- Does Chin ups with 50kg/110lbs on his waist
- The most impressive stat is that he can sprint 835m before slowing
There is no one in world rugby even close to this, maybe even the world period. Did I mention he has already won the S14 once?
His try last week was easily the try of the season as the bulls simply thrashed the greatest rugby franchise in the world the crusaders.
I am sure the chiefs will come to play, but the bulls forwards will feel Fourie DePreez and Morne Steyn on the front foot, and the two half backs kicking will keep the Cheifs back pedaling all day. Also the Cheifs just flew 20 hours to play at attitude at Loftus Versfeld - I'm sorry no matter how good the Kiwis are there are just too many things going against them here.
I see another rugby spectacular tomorrow with the bulls coming out on top!
