Here goes Rooi...

The Polokwane clash last year saw a season-ending injury to flanker Arno Botha, but the Springbok this time came through the match with only a tight hamstring. He will be able to train on Tuesday, but will not travel to London where the Bulls take on Saracens this weekend.

From the Bulls site 

No b ecs they will not cope, they wont know what's hit them.

Doubt it has ever snowed in Pretoria 

Agreed Rooi, Arno is a class act, we need him fit and playing for the Boks.

Becs I went and watched the touring Dr EG Jansen 1st team playing Colchester Colts a few weeks ago and the poor SA lads really struggled in the pouring rain on a cold evening in the mud.

They looked one hell of a side but the conditions killed them.......they ran in three tries but it was a struggle. They moaned the whole way through the game.
