Bulls Team for Friday

Blue Bulls

15 Jurgen Visser, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 William Small-Smith, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Handré Pollard, 9 Rudy Paige, 8 Jono Ross (c), 7 Jacques du Plessis, 6 Wiaan Liebenberg, 5 David Bulbring, 4 Paul Willemse, 3 Frik Kirsten, 2 Mbongeni Mbonambi, 1 Marcel van der Merwe.

Replacements:

16 Bandise Maku, 17 Dean Greyling, 18 Grant Hattingh, 19 Jacques Engelbrecht, 20 Lohan Jacobs, 21 Ulrich Beyers, 22 Sampie Mastriet.

It really is amazing.   Meyer selected both Greyling and Werner Kruger for the Springbok squad a year ago and even placed them on the bench in key tests.  Now Greyling is on the Bulls bench and Kruger is not even in the team.   Meyer's selections are always EXTREMELY  questionable - here are two cases to prove just that.

Greyling is a handy player, Kruger is just piss poor. Kirsten and Marcel v/d Merwe are both great young prospects.

Disappointing to see that Dries Swanepoel has not made it ahead of Small-Smith at 13.

Swanepoel remains in the Bulls U21 side

Prospects or not - how did they get into the Springbok team if hey cannot even make the Bulls starting line up anymore.

I wish they were playing Jacques du Plesis at lock - he is being played at loosie and he definitely is not one.   Matter of fact his performances on CC level was way below par.   Physically he is up to it - performance wise he is not.   It could harm his future if they do not play him at lock.

Kruger may have been the first failure selected by Meyer - bit he definitely was not the last.   Just look at the present squad and you will find them all over.
