There are a lot of members who have Lood de Jager as a lock. I in fact have Du Toit, Whitelock and De Jager as locks and made the mistake of putting De Jager on the bench for the Bulls - Crusaders game. He outplayed Whitelock comprehensively in that game and that is making it very difficult to deal with this week
De jager who was in top form in all games he played in fir the Bulls this year - will not be playing for the Bulls this coming weekend because of injury.
I do not trust Whitelock on the basis of actual performance - I have provisionally replaced him with Staniforth - but will have to see whether the latter is in fact playing,
Aside from De Jager Snyman will also e out in the said match and Pollard will not play either. I was looking forward as to the performance of Pollard against Willemse - but that will have to wait for later in the season.
Another player who is likely to be back soon is Augustus the no 8 for the Stormers - but I do not think he would play already on Saturday.
