The Bulls are the 2009 Currie Cup and Super 14 Champions! Their display saw of a resilient Cheetahs effort and the runners-up can be applauded for not giving up.
The Bulls game play showed a lot of similarity to that of the Springbok game. This is obviously due to the number of Springbok stalwarts in the Bulls team. They executed a brilliant defensive effort with a good kicking game and took the opportunities that presented themselves, much like the Boks.
Fourie du Preez, who is surely undoubtedly the best scrumhalf in world rugby, was brilliant. Habana also ended his Bulls career on a high and had a good game in which he showed that he is the best finisher in South Africa and one of the best in the world.
The Cheetahs had some stand out players too, Frans Viljoen was one of the players to make a big impact for the Cheetahs. The big loose forward had a good game against tough opposition and was rewarded with a try.
It was a typical Currie Cup final full of emotion and pride. At the end of the day it was a brilliant game and surpassed the expectation that was placed on it prior to kick off. Well done Bulls!
