Once again stats ccan be misleading. we know given a chance how good JJ is at beating aman his step pace and power .
The bulle do miss, Guthro who drove the ball up so well and scrummed solidly, gry Botha was a far superior hooker to wee chilli Boy. Bakkies and Danie werebig losses although loosin wee matfled a huge plus.
Du Preez was a fine player in his hey day and abrainy one but was it and had a dicey shoulder.
The solution for the bulle is as always the cheque book only these gredy bulle need to stop buying endles number of players in one position and shoudl coide their needs which are:
Hooke, tighthead a lock to partner Flip and a number 8. Greyling is not too bad, as is Flip, jaque Potgieter and you may get away with Dewald in an otherwise decent pack.
Once bulle have decent pack they are in business. The backline can score tries thanks to Slapchips from WP ben their backline coach. Given abetter pack Morne will also play better and dittio Hougaard.
Bulle for a moderate 7 figure fee I maybe will to consult!
Sad to see the bulle not getting it right. Thier attack is good, Defence exellent but just lack authority in the forwards.
By the way those thinking the crusties can come to Newlands simply to collect the trophy need think again. If the bulle can limit the crusties to one try the Stormers could well do the same. If they only score one try the chances are we would win.
