Players Jake White is looking at for Bulls.

Reports are saying White is looking at Gio Aplon, Rikus Pretorius, Damian Willemse and Sintu Manjezi. 

Aplon would be a pathetic call he must be 90 by now

He is also after Jacques du Plessis, Jessie Kriel and Jason Jenkins 

Aplon is 37 I know Jake is an idiot but this is taking the piss

Jake is amazing.

Amazingly stupid if he is chasing 37 year old Aplon - it’s a worse call than current stupid calls Morne Steyn and Juandré Kruger 

Jake did making some howler calls in his time - seems not much has changed 

He is a better bet than Pote though 

If Jake landed all his pursuits he could have a side along the lines of:

15. Gelant 14. Hendricks 13. Jessie Kriel 12. Rickus Pretorious 11. Speckman 10. Willemse 9. Papier 1. Nqoboka 2. Visagie 3. Nyakane 4. Jenkins 5. Jacques du Plessis 6. van Staaden 7. Tim Agaba 8. Muller Uys

Aplon could carry the oranges and Morne the kicking tee

It would look a lot better than the current mess

The following is a report on the issue:-

New Bulls director of rugby Jake White is reportedly keen on luring Stormers flyhalf Damian Willemse to Pretoria.

According to Afrikaans newspaper Rapport, the Bulls are hoping to use their connection with businessman Johann Rupert, whose company Remgro is a shareholder in the Blue Bulls Company, to convince Willemse to leave the Cape for Pretoria.

Willemse has a history with the Rupert family, with Sport24 reporting in 2018 how Johann Rupert's daughter, Caroline, had played a major role in helping a young Willemse attend Paul Roos Gymnasium in Stellenbosch. He became the first player of colour from the school to become a Springbok.

The report also added that White was keen on signing Stormers centre Rikus Pretorius. The former Junior Springbok star's contract with the Stormers expires in October.

Since his appointment late last month, White has indicated his desire to lure several frontline players to Loftus Versfeld and it was also reported that former Springbok and Stormers utility back Gio Aplon could play for the Blue Bulls in this year's Currie Cup, while Cheetahs lock Sintu Manjezi is also believed to be on the Bulls' radar.

White will replace Pote Human as Bulls head coach for next year's Super Rugby tournament.  White won the Rugby World Cup with the Springboks in 2007 and also coached teams like the Brumbies (Australia), Sharks (South Africa), Montpellier (France) and Toyota Verblitz (Japan).

When the 2020 season was halted due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Bulls were 12th in the overall Super Rugby standings, having won just one out of six matches."

The fact that White is interested i n Willemse is a sign that our Idiot Speakers on site is wrong about the player,   With Rupert being owed a fortune by he Stormers and being a major shareholder in the Bulls franchise - he and his partner Motsepe own 74,5% of the shares of the Bulls franchise - it is clear that the two will decide on players such as Willemse's future, especially bearing in mind the existing links between the Rupert family and Willemse. 

In any event this will be the final end of Morne Steyn playing for the Bulls in future,        

April's Fools day has come and gone....

So then what are you still doing here?

Ummmm to remind you that it's come and gone......u ungrateful Dope !

This report was on News 24 for the first time today and is not an April Fools day story,   

Have you heard of sarcasm?

Backed by Rupert and Montsepe - who each donated  R1 billion to the Coronavirus fund - and own another estimated R80 billion in assets each  -  the Bulls will have plenty money to contract players,      

Whooooosh!

The only thing that comes and goes quicker, is you in an Australian brothel.

Too funny Shezza. Chip-poo wouldn't know, he frequents a brothel located next to his shack in Soweto so I imagine he prays for load shedding prior to his 10 seconds of manhood.

As I said there is plenty money around in the case of the Bulls and White would have given advice as to whom he may look out for and whom not,   Brits is now working for Rupert and Motsepe and that puts White in a good position to draw in players.   Wonder how successful he would be in his recruiting drive.    Would be surprised of there are not other players on the list as well - but it obviously depends on their contracts with foreign clubs.  Those who left for the 17-18 NH games will all up for contract renewal this year and there may well be some players who can get into contracts with the Bulls.
