A stab in the dark with this one. Home advantage and the 16th man, so i'll go with Chiefs.
Chiefs 21 - Bulls 19

Mr Raynal broke his legs some time ago I believe getting himself too involved in the action……
Narrow win for EX ……29-27

That’s a good team we’ve picked and with weather and home advantage reckon we’ll prevail Chiefs 32 Bulls 22
Much the same Bulls' team rushed to a 28 point lead before Lyon brought it closer, winning the 2nd half fairly convincingly. That was on the high veld and a fairly warm day; Lyon seemed to take some time getting used to it. Hopefully at (almost) sea level and only a couple of degrees above zero we'll have the advantage.
Chiefs 42 - Bulls 24

Mr Raynal key with his scrum and breakdown interpretation.. If we can hold our own in the set piece and stay on the right side of the ref I am hopeful of a good five point win. We have a strong side out.

Think there may be a few frozen bullocks which will give us the edge.

With no history, this is a shot in the dark really.
Got to go with a home win here, the Bulls do tend not to do so well away from the high veldt.

Wow! Impressed by the confidence shown here! It's truly an unknown, but I too am going with my heart: Chiefs 37 Bulls 24
In Rob we trust.
By the way - cream on first. There's nothing to debate.

I think it is going to be so cold only a win will warm me up! Trying to persuade my teenage kids to wear about 5 layers. Exe 32 Bulls 24
Weather "improved" a little? This is another big game for the lads. Go Chiefs
