Gavin Rich re-evaluates his opinions on the Bulls' march to Soweto on Supersport.
"There were some brutish looking Bulls supporters, regaled in the unmistakeable light blue, standing somewhere between Hillcrest and Winston Park during Sunday’s down Comrades between Pietermaritzburg and Durban.
"As they surveyed the passing show, proudly showing off their colours in the knowledge that their team remains the top rugby side in the southern hemisphere, a group of black runners ran up towards them. “Ah weh Soweto Bulls, Ah weh Soweto Bulls,” they chanted as they reached out their fists to touch those of the burly, white Bulls fans.
"If you didn’t believe the Bulls pulled off a coup by playing their Super 14 play-off games in Soweto, the proof was right there. They always claimed it, but we never had the evidence to believe them. Now we know the Bulls administration are right, they do have black supporters. And there are probably a lot more now than there were a few weeks ago."
