The latest medical reports indicate that Paige will not be available for selection on Saturday and that Flippie has problems with another knee injury.  The question about the latter is - can Flippe go through a match without an injury and can he survie two matches with a card.


But lets return to the scrummie issue.  The Bulls have Van Zyl to fall back on at scrummie or bring back Hougaard to the scrummie position.  The latter would be seriously counter-productive - since Hougaard is not as good at scrummie as he is on the wing.   It would be better to use as back-up scrummie a Vodacom Cup scrummie than the lose their best wing in the process.  


In the case of the locks I believe that their lock combination should be Hattingh and Du Plessis - with Flippie on the bench if he has overcome his latest injury completely.


That would bring selection of the loosie combination into question.  The contribution by both Spies and Stegmann is controversial,  Stegmann's main contribution is the constant string of penalties in matches and Spies remains a show pony with little contribution to general loosie play.   The latter can to an extent be forgiven if the other two loosies are up to standard.  I would rather play Botha at 7 and Labuschagne at 6 - leaving at least one of the chronic malfunctioning players out.


There are not too many problems outside of the lock-loosie-scrummie problems - but knowing Ludeke he is bound to bugger up selections that should be beneficial to the Bulls team.

Unfortunately for you every member of this site has the right to express his opinion - whether right or wrong.  However, there should be a reasonable basis for opinions expressed and that is where the dunces on the site fail - they expressed opinions contra to the factual situation pertaining to teams and players and they often base what they wrote on flimsy newspaper reports. 
The other reality is that once an opinion is expressed a personal attack on the person stating his opinion follows.   The reason for that is that some members of this site have no originality in thinking about rugby issues and slavishly follow some of the coaches and players they favour - especially if rugby writers support their lack of personal thinking abilities. 
So instead of being a slavish idiot state an opinion or be the fool you always are.

You caused problems on another thread by calling me a skunk - when I reacted you are suddenly the hurt idiot.   So bugger off - or start behaving properly on this site low-life BSter.
Did I mention your father in the above comments - brainless fool?

 I called you a skunk after, and because of, that remark, p@epol. Go check the time stamps.
You have been calling me a doos for ages. 
I did mention him in a tongue way. That did not, however, give you any right to say what you have said. 
I have never insulted anybody's family on this board, or any other board for that matter and definitely not in the way that you have done. 
The fact that you do not even have the savvy to understand that I have (with good reason) taken exception to it, illustrates your own lack of class.

 You and Mozart are similar.  I tried to behave cordially with you and him for two months, until the position became totally unbearable because of constant insults from the two of you.
I am sorry I lost my cool and mentioned your father - but it followed a remark about your father - aimed at totally degrading of what I wrote earlier.
However, if the two of you stop personal attacks on me - the result would be entirely different.   However, there is not a snowball's hope in hell of that happening.

You are the first to start. Every time. That is mainly because you cannot accept that you are not always right. You are, after all the one who starts thread after thread with the intention to have some stab at Mozart (mostly) and myself (from time to time).  However, nothing that was said on this board has in any case warranted the need to step as low as you have done in this instance.

There should not be an issue with Paige and Flip out.....there are plenty of options in Hougaard and v/Zyl at 9.......with Flip out....you move du Plessis to lock and bring in the likes of Arno Botha, Labs or Liebenberg as loosies.


What's the bloody problem....chaos my arse

I have apologized in mentioning your father - but the ones that started the rot after that truce I referred to was not me - it was Mozart and you.  There is no possibility of you playing the innocent.   In the last period of the truce I referred to I repeatedly pleaded with the two of you to stop your insulting personal remarks - nothing helped.  
You and Mozart went back on your undertakings badly and when I reacted after a number of pleas to keep the peace on this site, the present war of words between the three of us erupted.
I always was the target of verbal abuse - long before I responded in kind.   So playing the innocent on your part is just absolute rubbish.

 You keep on bullsh!tting Mike and you know it. I never called for or had any part in your so-called truce because you call these truces as and when you feel like doing so. I, nonetheless, deliberately avoided saying anything offensive until you had a fallout with Moz again and you "called off the truce". What a childish bunch of BS in any case?  
Be that as it may, just tell me when and on which thread I could find the apology. Easy as that, mate, easy as that.

 It may be mentioned that there was an apology but unless you are prepared to tell me where it is, I have no choice but to accept that you are BS'ing.

 Read above please where I said -
"I am sorry I lost my cool and mentioned your father"
I made similar comments under two other threads.   If you want me to go on my knees and plead for forgiveness you can go on waiting - it will not happen.

What a washed up apology and, IIRC, that paragraph was not in that post at first. I read that post and then made posted the reply. That paragraph wasn't in there. The original was something like: "Did you not mention your father first....." or something to that effect. Nice try but it is not going to fly because you say that you are sorry that lost your cool and that you mentioned my father. 
You just cannot bring yourself to accept that you were way out of order in saying that he (my late father) might just qualify to be a guard at an asylum and that he can lend me half of his brain cell [singular].

 BALLS LIAR - IT ALWAYS WAS IN THERE.   I DO NOT USE THE MOZART METHOD OF CHANGING MESSAGES CONTEXTS.   There is no indication on my message that I change it in any way.

 So, you are sorry that you lost your cool or you are sorry that you mentioned my father. Correct? 
The fact that you said that he just qualify to be a guard at an asylum and that you implied that he only has (had) one brain-cell is perfectly OK, I assume?
