Now leets wait for the eight Bulls in the Starting Line - up and theree more on the Bench.
One player that did his utmost to disqualify himself was Hougaard and the other one Greyling. The biggest bugger-upper was Steyn though - end of story.
You are a typical Cape fool. Ironic given the bleating about bias elsewhere.
Seems the Cape "fools' had a pretty good day. Well done Mike.
Aristyokrat - The Bulls lost did they not and that against a team with a disrupted game plan as a result of injuries. But then my forecast was based on performance and the Bulls away tour was a real disaster from a performance perspective. The last loss is the thrid one in a roq after close wins against the two poorest Aussie teams around. All objective assessors would have agreed with my forecast of the result.
Now lets look at the players in the teams who had good and bad games. Bulls - Back line no good performers, but the worst two no doubt Morne Steyn and Hougaard. What has gone wrong with the latter. Amongst the forwards we have seen an average game by the Bulls locks and Spies - despite the try he scored - which in fact was not a try. Greyling was poor against Malherbe - who drilled him time and time again.
On the Stormers side: backline players with a good performance were Aplon, Habana and De Villiers, amongst the forwards Kolisi, Etzebeth, Elstadt (especially on defence) and Malherbe .
Well called Mike. I didn't think our second team would beat the bulle at loftus although I was ver yconfident that a full strength Stormers side would.
Congrats to Habana, Jean and Etzebeth for making the Bok squad of 30.
Next year there wil be more Boks from the Stormers. What a lock combo Roux and Etzebeth will make. Kitshoof, Malherbe, Roux, Etzebeth, Elstadt, Kolis, Koster and Kolis will all be better next year. Duanne, Schalk, Liebenberg, Deon Fourie, Harris etc will still be very much around. Man the Stormers are going to have a tremendous pack.
