 B. Basson for Ulengo???????????
this is plain stupid,....... Basson is useless,...... always has been,...... when the bulls' backline was gelling, they change their best finisher and the 9-10 introducing a pair more predisposed to the kick & chase,...... simply stupid

Ulengo is a very good prospect,...... but needs gametime to develope his game

Doesn't make sense. Jamba should be there. He's not a player that needs rotation.
SP Marais brings some spark. Arno Botha has just not been the same since his injuries. Almost invisible against the Kings last Saturday.

 he has played just 3-4 entire games,...... what he needs is more gametime,....... he's one of the very few SA players who seems to have skills to be a test winger

Marais is not risking Jamba Ulengo as he has a minor hamstring injury, he is expected to return in the next week or two.

 Fwel for ya wardad. Few weeks bk.90% of my team had a bye lol. Really stupid no.wc this season.

 Hey Luke ,yeah its a bugger innit ? And to make matters worse I benched Barrett and put in Mo'unga !Looked at Dagg and thought 'Nahh he will be rusty as hell " goddammit !I must say I did enjoy that rugby skills video though ,the soccer wusses reckon they're all that but lets see how skillful they would be with a several hundred kilos of muscle bearing down upon them with murderous intent !
