I see more injuries to bulle loosies. Wonder if ou windpomp thinks the bulle fowards are soft - given remarks about the Stormers injuries?
I suggest windpomp that these things happen and next year we may see no or minimal injuries to the loose forwards. Food for thought eh windpomp!
So it seems with the Stormers up against the sharks and the Bulls up against the Chiefs this weekend. We might see to severely depleted sides take each other on next saturday. A pity, but as they say so the season takes it's toll.
As I said Ek it's last man standing stuff.
My huge regret is that the SA rugby fan will not see the Mighty Stormers pack at full strength and gobbling up the bulle full strength pack. More importantly, neither will Meyer who needs to see the light re Beeno's power pack concept. A tradgedy!
Luckily for the Bulls the injuries picked up this weekend are not serious, or so they have just said on the news, so both players will be in action again this coming weekend. Neither the Bulls or the Stormers forwards are soft though, as the headline may suggest, just ask any team that opposes either of the two. Just to add onto the topic, the injuries to many sides this season are starting to water down the whole competition. The season is just too long!
Yip Bluebok, agreed we have been saying this since the Lions started feeling the attrition rate. Apart from the injuries comeing in, which the Bok, NZ and Walaby sides will obviously feel going into the June tests. The spectators are also getting a sickness called support fatigue if i can call it that.
True that Ek! We should now be at the point in the season where we are getting into the Semis and finals, not going into a break, to be followed by test, to be followed be more Super Rugby pool games. I never thought I'd say it, but I agree with you on the supporter fatigue scenario...you may just be onto something there.
What was very disapointing this weekend was seeing how soft the Stormers scrum was. After being so physically dominant earlier in the season, they seem to have lost their clout. Brok Harris is useless and the weak link in that pack. When Malherbe replaced him, the Stormers scrum stood firm. Coetzee needs to wake up and start Malherbe
