So called bulle legends in the making

 get thumped by Lions. And yes Owen I do know they are a young side but they were in your book legends in the making last year as well. How long must we wait Hahahahahahhaha

Lions played high tempo rugby. That prop Dreyer was showed great pace and Kriel at loosie showed he was no slouch. Boschoff ended up with man of the match and coud go on to higher honours - we shall see.

Jaque Du Plessis is not really a loosie. Lock will be his postion. Basson was great in broken play. Is he a possible Bok impact player?

Sharks also should plenty of creativity on attack. Cheetahs look a tired side.

SA sides showing more flair for sure.

Met die Bulle wat vir n 20 minute met 14 man gespeel het en nog n bonuspunt verkry het dui op n span met baie potensiaal. Die leeus was in n ander klas vanaand maar sodra ons ons lostrio van Spies, Botha en die legendariese Stegman terug kry gaan hierdie n goeie span wees. Moenie vergeet dat Hougaart en Serfontein ook nog daar is nie. Ons behoort weer volgende jaar die konferensie trofee te verower en dalk in twee jaar ons vierde Super trofee.

Problem with the Bulls is that they keep getting their selections wrong. du Plessis should not be playing 7 as you say Beenkop, he should be partnering Willemse at lock.

Playing the average Werner Kruger ahead of Frik Kirsten is laughable, as was benching the impressive Visser at 15. Ulrich Beyers is not the answer at 13, he looks better at 15. Why are the Bulls not playing Dries Swanepoel at 13.

Liebenberg is not a true openside...............so all in all there are many issues with the Bulls

Dit is 'n baie aangename verassing! Welkom Owen!

Ek neem aan dat jy nie 'n groot ondersteuner van Jono Ross is nie?

 Owen, I grant you that it wasn't too bad. Mallet however thought the bulle pack was soft and lost the collisions. Perhaps its becaue of some of the youngsters.

But bulle at full strenghth next year should be fine. Paige also looks useful. Very dangerous on the break. Maybe they are elarning how to basson into space also. 

 Ek dink nie hy is n slegte speler nie, maar sal verbaas wees indien hy volgende jaar die span of selfs die bank sal haal Rooinek. Ons voorry is nou al die laaste drie jaar ons swak punt Mike en Jantjies is net soos sy broer baie gemiddeld. Beeno, Paige moet leer om uit te gee sonder om vyf tree te hardloop, hy sit die hele agterlyn onder druk. 

Stem saam oor die Jantjies broers. "Gemiddeld" is 'n kompliment.

Ek dink Ross kan verbeter and uiteindelik Spies se plek in die Bulls span oorneem . . . en let wel, ek is een van die baie min Spies ondersteunders op hierdie forum!

Ek het al amper vertroue in Spies verloor, maar met die groot uittog van spelers hoop ek hy speel weer rugby soos toe hy op die toneel verskyn het.  Arno Botha se beste posisie is agsteman en Ludeke sal hom nie vir ewig op flank kan hou nie. 

 Mean ou the whole day was best summed up by Coetzee on the wing 91 kg. stopping Kruger dead in his tracks. Baaie swak mean ou!

Arno Botha is a good palyer and you should do everything you can to get Stander back. But we cant talk our main business is exporting quality players!

Ek stry nie, Arno Botha is 'n briljante speler en ek stem saam dat hy 'n beter #8 is as 'n flank. Miskien sal Ross sy kanse moet neem as 'n blindside flank.

 Beeno julle exports was maar swak vanaand. 

Ross sal agter Spies en Arno staan so hy sal of  van provinsie of van posisie moet verander. Aan die ander kant is die super 15 lank met baie beserings so wie weet. Hy is egter jonk, talentvol en het die verloor onderhoude goed hanteer. Kan nie maklik vir hom wees nie maar hoop hy en die ander jongelinge sal sterker deur nagmerrie van n seisoen kom.

Yes, WP "exports" like Joe van Niekerk, Schalk Brits, Patric Cilliers, Luke Watson, Michael Rhodes, Demetri Catrakilis, Jaco Taute, Duane Vermeulen, Bryan Habana, Gerhard van den Heever . . . there is no Currie Cup team that poaches as many established players as WP!

rooitwit you would'yt be attemting a very amaterish wind up would you?

I once did a survey of the entire sharks squad and found I think only one or two native born natalians in the squad.

Tell you what, Baboon-ou, do the same exercise, but this time give credit to the unions who gave the player their first CC start (like the Sharks did with the likes of Bismarck du Plessis etc.), and let us know what your results look like. I specifically used the word "established" to shut up ignorant dullards like you but obviously you're dumber than even I thought . . . which hardly seems possible!

 Rooitwit it takes too much time and I am sure the results would be similar. The Du Plessis brothers were playing rugby when they were poached by the Sharks. Lets not pretend otherwise.

Baboon-ou, do the research and you might get a big surprise. WP are the biggest poachers in SA rugby but one-eyed twats like you are too stupid to know this because you know so little about rugby in general.

Which Provinces did Bismarck reperesent before the Sharks? Please answer the question because I'm sick of hearing this kind of rubbish from ignorant WP fans like you. Put up a list of poached players like I did or else shut the hell up. Idiot!
