Reflections pre final

The Super 14 2010 season final has been played, and before I sit to watch the replay, without knowing the outcome, I share the following reflections.

Of the four teams that made the finals from the end of regular season log -

1st  Bulls
2nd Stormers
3rd Waratahs
4th  Crusaders

Only 2 of these teams have an historical expectancy of winning, and they - the Crusaders and Bulls - played each other in the semi-final, meaning only 1 (the Bulls as it turned out) could progress.

The other semi was played between two teams that do not have this historical expectantcy of winning.

The Bulls and the Stormers met overnight in Soweto, SA, for the title of 2010 Super 14 Champion.

Bulls to win. No reshaping of history in relation to teams who have won a Super competition during the last 18 or so years.
