Bulls slaughter Sharks
16 Sep 2006
Pierre Spies was monumental in the Blue Bulls 50-32 destruction of the Sharks in Durban.
Spies scored a try, should have had two more and created all sorts of chaos on attack as the Bulls surged towards the Absa Currie Cup play-offs, while leaving the Sharks with plenty to do in the final fortnight.
Spies was one of many current and past Springboks on show, but on the night he was easily the best of the internationals, with Wynand Olivier a close second as the Bulls produced their finest performance in the competition.
Gary Botha also enjoyed his best match for some time as the Bulls forwards clobbered the Sharks with a physically superior display in the set phases and in the tackle.
The Sharks may try and find some consolation in the late withdrawal of AJ Venter, but to argue Venters absence was significant would be more fantasy than fact. It is doubtful 15 Venter’s would have dealt with a Bulls pack that played with purpose and the prospect of not making the competition’s play-offs.
The Lions late rally for a semi-final has increased interest in the competition with just one league point separating the Bulls, Western Province and Sharks after this weekend.
The Bulls played with urgency and the Sharks never matched them in desperation. The home side threatened with a few counter attacks and surprisingly took the lead 13-12 in the first quarter. It was not a reflection of the play and Derick Hougaard restored order with a penalty and the Bulls never trailed again.
They led 27-20 at halftime and enjoyed the comfort of the bonus point try before the start of the second half. They then crushed the home team spirits within a minute of the kick-off when Spies scored after a very good kick from the impressive Heini Adams. It was a score that settled the match and Botha, mindful of the importance of the league points differential, turned to Hougaard to kick invaluable second half points that could prove influential in a fortnight.
Hougaard ended with 20 points, but as a team the Bulls will reflect on a 50 point success that showed the character of the side.

Run of play
Warren Britz has taken over the captaincy after the late withdrawal of AJ Venter. As expected BJ Botha did also not start at tighthead prop. Sevens specialist Ryan Kankowski started at No 8 in Venter’s absence.
Opening five minutes belongs to the Bulls. They are the more physical at the breakdown and the early dominance leads to a try from SA under 21 star Hilton Lobberts. He shows a good step and strength to beat two tackles and score. Hougaard converts. 7-0.
Sharks almost score after Brad Barritt breaks the Bulls defence, but his pass is intercepted by Ndungane, who carries it over. Sharks attack from the scrum and win a penalty right in front of the posts, 10 metres out. Butch James goals the penalty. 7-3 to the Bulls after 8th minute.
Heinie Adams exposes JP Pietersen’s laziness under the high ball. The little scrumhalf chips and beats Pietersen for the collect. From the recycled ball Adi Jacobs is penalised. Bulls kick to the corner and from the lineout they drive for the corner. But they cough up the ball and the Sharks turn it over. Jacobs tries to kick the Sharks out of trouble, but only gets it as far as Ndungane, who beats two defenders and sets up the ruck. From the ruck Danie Rossouw finds Wynand Olivier, who beats Waylon Murray’s weak tackle to score. 12-3 to the Bulls. Hougaard’s touchline conversion misses.
Sharks haven’t had much ball and appear stunned at the physical dominance of the visitors. The home team are awarded a penalty for an illegal tackle. James goals it from 40 metres. Much needed points for the Sharks.
And more points for the Sharks. Bulls try and run the ball from a lineout on the Sharks 22. Awful pass mix up between Olivier and Hougaard. Sharks kicks through, win the race to the ball and from the recycled ball spread the ball wide to Pietersen who walks over untouched. Ruan Pienaar kicks the conversion. 13-12 to Sharks.
The Sharks score, against the run of play, has energised the Sharks. They are winning more ball and looking dangerous on attack. James puts Adi Jacobs into a gap, but the left winger knocks on and a potential try-scoring opportunity is lost.
Bulls lose Springbok loose-forward Pedrie Wannenburg through injury. Lobberts is impressive on the drive. Sharks penalised at the tackle and Hougaard, knowing the Bulls have the advantage, has a drop attempt. He misses. Penalty stays and Hougaard has a go from 30 metres. It is over. 15-13 to the Bulls after 25 minutes.
Pierre Spies drives strongly from a scrum attack. He makes 20 metres. The Sharks are guilty of three professional fouls in the next movement as the Bulls attack the tryline. Referee Mark Lawrence penalises the Sharks and sinbins Johan Muller. Bulls kick to the corner, drive the lineout and score through Gary Botha. 20-13 to Bulls. Hougaard’s touchline conversion misses.
The Sharks hit back with a fabulous counter attack started in their own 22. Kankowski is strong in the movement, so too Pienaar and Ndungane and Adi Jacobs finishes off the move. James converts. 20-all.
This time it is the Bulls who score from a Sharks mistake. Spies wins the Sharks lineout ball, drives up, Adams shifts it quickly to Olivier, who breaks the Sharks line and offloads superbly to Ndungane who has an easy run in. Hougaard nails a difficult conversion and the Bulls lead 27-20.
That’s halftime and the Bulls already have the bonus point for four tries.
The Bulls make it five tries in the first minute of the restart. Heinie Adams exposes the Sharks back three with a chip kick. Replacement back Francois Steyn fumbles the kick and Spies score the try when the bobbling ball sits up nicely. Hougaard converts. 34-20 to the Bulls.
The Bulls attack from the kick-off and Adams again puts the Sharks under pressure with a chip kick. The Bulls continue to apply the pressure and Spies is driven over. The decision is referred to the third official. He can’t make a call and the Bulls are awarded a five-metre scrum. Spies drives strongly and wins the Bulls a penalty. Content that they have the bonus point try, the Bulls kick for goal. 37-20 after 45 minutes.
Bulls counter attack through a kick through. Spies looks certan to score, but is taken out early and a penalty try is rightly awarded. 44-20 to Bulls after 50 minutes.
From the kick-off there is a charge down kick by Pienaar on Hougaard. Pienaar misses the ball in the ingoal area and Warren Britz follows up and scores. It is referred to the telly ref and he confirms the try. A very fortunate score for the home team, but they’ll take anything.
Brent Russell has finally been introduced on 55 minutes. Steyn is playing flyhalf with James having been replaced at halftime. Russell is playing wing and Jacobs has gone into the midfield for the injured Barritt.
The game has lost its structure and both teams are attacking regularly from turnover ball. Gary Botha is penalised for holding on and Steyn kicks to the corner. Sharks lineout and drive on Bulls 22, but they lose the ball and it sums up the type of match they’ve had.
The last two minutes have been atrocious. Turnovers and poor decision-making on both sides. The first hour has been played at a frenetic pace and the players are showing the strains. The Sharks are penalised and the Bulls kick for the corner to set up the lineout. Sharks defend the lineout well, but the Bulls retain possession and get a scrum feed.
Bulls stuff it up and Sharks counter, but typically they knock it on. Scrum feed to the Bulls on Sharks 22. The Sharks are penalised at the scrum and now the Bulls decide to kick at goal. Hougaard slots it. 47-27 after 67 minutes.
From the kick-off the Bulls attack and break the Sharks defence. Ndungane kicks ahead and Pietersen is caught in possession by Spies and Ndungane. He is penalised and Hougaard pops it over from 30 metres. And that’s the 50 for the Bulls.
Dick Muir finally sends on Solly Tyibilika after 70 minutes.
Pienaar ignites the Sharks as they search for the bonus point try. He is involved in the movement twice and Kankowski scores. Pienaar injures himself in the move and is replaced. Steyn misses the conversion. 50-32 with five minutes to go.

Shark`s shouldnt lose Keegan, but he was restless sitting on the bench,needed some full game time, and they should`nt lose to the whining bulls either.
16 Sep 2006, 16:21 pm

bashem, you talking about Barritt. They`ve got a klomp stars who play as a team.
16 Sep 2006, 16:39 pm
ya mate, Os tought him a few scrumming lessons, from the super 14 matches I’ve seen Blake in, he hasn’t really impressed me, seemed ridiculously slow, his only real advantage being his weight. Was impreesed with Du Preez in that match as well, for the first time I wasn’t all that keen for Ruan to come on.

This is going to be an interesting battle of a traditional loose trio against the Jake 3 ball carrier combo.
The Sharks will miss BJ and AJ though. I think this will be a Bulls victory.

Johan Muller is the player sent off.
16 Sep 2006, 17:36 pm
Nou **** ek Spies se naam en hy klink gevaarlik.
Maar hel, daai Adams se naam **** mens heeltyd.
Muller geel kaart! Probleme!
Bulle score!
16 Sep 2006, 17:36 pm
As die Bulle nie die game wen nie, verdien hulle om uit die semis uit te val. Tot die ref is aan hulle kant. Lyk my nie hy weet hoe ‘n aanslaan lyk nie.
16 Sep 2006, 17:37 pm
Sharks misses a captain!!
16 Sep 2006, 17:37 pm
Jonddod, GBS
Thanks.
Sharks in major **** now.

16 Sep 2006, 17:37 pm
Kyk iemand die game op tv
16 Sep 2006, 17:38 pm
David
No one is sure why Pedrie went off. I think he pulled his muscle and was obviosuly replaced due to that.
16 Sep 2006, 17:38 pm
I am watching on TV.
16 Sep 2006, 17:38 pm
Kyk iemand die game op tv 2
16 Sep 2006, 17:38 pm
Pedie injured his knee!!

Ja ek doen.

Ek **** P3 het uitgevind dat Wynand meer tyd saam met Frikkie wil deurbring. Die kys tussen Wynand en P3 is glo uit.
16 Sep 2006, 17:40 pm
Bulls are applying good pressure on the Sharks backline there.
16 Sep 2006, 17:41 pm
Lynstaanprobleme vir Natal.
16 Sep 2006, 17:41 pm
What a brilliant try!!!
16 Sep 2006, 17:41 pm
Sharks TRY !!! From their own 22 they run it.
16 Sep 2006, 17:42 pm
Dennis
Ek hoop die Bulls wen, maar voor Loberts se drie was daar ‘n ope aanslaan.
16 Sep 2006, 17:42 pm
Try Sharks
16 Sep 2006, 17:42 pm
DRIE TYD!!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 17:42 pm

16 Sep 2006, 17:42 pm
JP is not test standard yet.
16 Sep 2006, 17:42 pm
And who said that Adi Jacobs does not have pace?
16 Sep 2006, 17:42 pm

Sharks no 6 was also offside at that same instance.
fair is fair
16 Sep 2006, 17:43 pm
GrootblouS
Die bulle is by ver die beste span op die veld! Ons maak net k@k voute
16 Sep 2006, 17:44 pm
Spies steals another linoeout
Akona scores a try.
Wynand made it happen
16 Sep 2006, 17:44 pm
Olivier is brilliant !!! Sets up Akona’s try
16 Sep 2006, 17:44 pm
Bonus point try Akona…………, Olivier made mince meat of Tjarks!
16 Sep 2006, 17:44 pm
redlion #174 : the only place he sprints to is KFC and McDonalds …
16 Sep 2006, 17:44 pm
BULLS have bonus point.
This game is tense.
16 Sep 2006, 17:44 pm
bulls are looking good.
don’t deny it…….
16 Sep 2006, 17:44 pm
Lynstane ‘n probleem vir Sharks vandat Muller af is.
16 Sep 2006, 17:45 pm
Murray has missed Wynand twice now. Both weak efforts.
16 Sep 2006, 17:45 pm
27 / 20
16 Sep 2006, 17:45 pm
27 – 20 Bulls

16 Sep 2006, 17:45 pm
162# Dankie KP
Gewonder oor daai kys.
16 Sep 2006, 17:45 pm
Olivier should play flyhalf. Did you see the line that he ran. Hougie can only dream of doing that.
16 Sep 2006, 17:45 pm
Grootblous
Wat n game. Ek trek my woorde terug. Natal kan vir Habana kry wynand moet bly. O en **** as jy lees koop vir JP Nel ook
16 Sep 2006, 17:45 pm
Kankowski knock on.
SWEEEET
16 Sep 2006, 17:46 pm
Bulls are better, for sure!
16 Sep 2006, 17:46 pm
Hougaard pile drived Barrit into touch.
Very sweet
16 Sep 2006, 17:47 pm
Olivier is not brilliant. My grannie could have run through those tackles.
16 Sep 2006, 17:47 pm
Should replace murray soon. Not in the game – same as JP Nel
16 Sep 2006, 17:47 pm
Halftime, my hart sit in my keel….gou ‘n doppie gaan haal!
16 Sep 2006, 17:47 pm
ek skreeu nie xyz nie
ek bly ‘n bul……..
16 Sep 2006, 17:47 pm
But this game can still be anyones.
Sharks will be back with 15 men
16 Sep 2006, 17:48 pm
True
16 Sep 2006, 17:48 pm
Now I know how Grrrrr felt. My heart is struggling!!
16 Sep 2006, 17:49 pm
david not yr usual self.
olivier is playing well today.
16 Sep 2006, 17:49 pm
Fokkit, wie het gese Olivier is swak?
Ek weet niks van die man nie, maar hy klink vir my na n game breaker, volgens wat ek **** hier op RSG.
Miskien is JW tog nie so onnosel om hom te brei nie.
16 Sep 2006, 17:49 pm
I reckon the Pocket Rocket will be put on soon in the 2nd half
16 Sep 2006, 17:50 pm
Jp”ek is 10min n jaar op vorm”Nel is k@k.Dries Scholtz moes gespeel het
16 Sep 2006, 17:50 pm
Now where is Rutherfoord today. Bonus point already. His beloved Pienaar and James not a factor. Adams can hurt James. HAHAHAAA

Sharks make many basic mistakes. Still anyones game. How many games of two different halves have seen this year.
16 Sep 2006, 17:51 pm
pocket rocket, f*kit rocket, pocket f*kit.
wonn’t make any difference.
bulls are cooking.
16 Sep 2006, 17:51 pm
Oeeeeee Nou’t ek ‘n Caribbean Twist pina colada om die nerves te sus…..
16 Sep 2006, 17:51 pm
Bring Russel on. Then we’ll score 6 more tries. That doos cannot tackle
16 Sep 2006, 17:52 pm
Sharks to make a comeback in the second halve!
16 Sep 2006, 17:52 pm

J daar is
16 Sep 2006, 17:54 pm
Shark guys … your team was suppose to deny the Bulls a bonus point. Do you know what that means?
It means do not let them score 4 tries and it means that you have to beat them by more that 7 points.
You dissapoint me. We took care of the Griquas, we will take care of the Wee Pee next week so what is your problem?
What could have been a perfect rugga weekend is now spoilt by your immature boys who have no fight.
Who is leading this band of misfits? Get AJ on the field now before it is too late.
16 Sep 2006, 17:55 pm
dennisb
I wasn’t denigrating Olivier. Just pointing out that Murray made him look good with some pitiful attempts at tackling. Olivier just ran past him without any serious opposition.
16 Sep 2006, 17:55 pm
Nee nog nie van_mangs ek sal daar join, wees verseker!
16 Sep 2006, 17:55 pm
Pieterman
Jy moet versigtig wees om al die kak te glo wat RSG kwytraak. Volgens hom het die Lions al klaar die CC gewen.
16 Sep 2006, 17:55 pm

Die polisie het in my kantoor in gestap. Toe bek@k ek myself
16 Sep 2006, 17:55 pm

Rev daai Rotory motor so bietjie!!!

Game of touch rugby!
16 Sep 2006, 17:58 pm
Wonder wat se Pote vir die ouens halftyd. Seker “julle beter speel want in my boek…..”
Kan nie dink dat hy kan waarde toevoeg nie.
16 Sep 2006, 17:59 pm

16 Sep 2006, 18:00 pm
Francois Steyn is on!! Butch off?
16 Sep 2006, 18:00 pm
Steyn on for Butch.
16 Sep 2006, 18:00 pm
Spies, Lobberts, Pakslae, Olivier, Adams, Gary Botha speel almal goed, nê!
16 Sep 2006, 18:00 pm
Butch James replaced.
What are the odds that he has picked up another 6 month injury?
16 Sep 2006, 18:00 pm
229# Daasit GBS! Stadig nou, watch die rooi lyn!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:01 pm

SPIES Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
16 Sep 2006, 18:01 pm
Thanks Francois Steyn.
Great replacement.
Thanks ****

16 Sep 2006, 18:02 pm
34 – 20 Bulls
Hougaard converts
16 Sep 2006, 18:03 pm
Who the **** was covering at the back? Steyn was hung out to dry.
16 Sep 2006, 18:03 pm
Steyn did not even touch the Ball … he saw Spies charging and let his beedy little eye off the ball.
16 Sep 2006, 18:04 pm
TRY BULLS
Sharks are boys vs men.
TMO decision
16 Sep 2006, 18:04 pm
Anoter one … my word the Sharks are getting s thumping.

16 Sep 2006, 18:04 pm
no ways .. spies might have scored again now .. TMO decision
16 Sep 2006, 18:04 pm
That sharks team can forget about winning the CC. Seen nothing that impressed me.
16 Sep 2006, 18:05 pm
Pierre Spies, jou beauty!
Hy wen hierdie game op sy eie!
16 Sep 2006, 18:05 pm
Oeeeee, is dit nog ‘n ou drietjie, deur Spies??
Wat sê die TV ref??
Scrum, fokkit!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:05 pm

16 Sep 2006, 18:06 pm
Spies is an animal.
Almost another yellow for the Sharks.
16 Sep 2006, 18:06 pm
Spies is a fenom. The LIONS must buy him.
16 Sep 2006, 18:06 pm
Hougaard to kick to the poles.
16 Sep 2006, 18:07 pm
Penalty Bulls…manne vat die 3 punte, toe!!

16 Sep 2006, 18:07 pm
Bulle verdien hierdie game, die Sharks is leierloos sonder AJ.
Moet se, ek gee nie om sa Bulle vanaand wen nie, of hoe PissAnt, Andre_WP en KingPaul?
16 Sep 2006, 18:07 pm
Die Bulle is nou moerseeeeeeeeee!
16 Sep 2006, 18:08 pm
Adams playing his best game that I have seem on TV so far.
16 Sep 2006, 18:09 pm
Gary Botha and Lobbets are thugs. Sharks are guilty of stomping.
Pathetic all round.
16 Sep 2006, 18:09 pm
Oepsie, daar was nou ‘n groot barney!!
Gelukkig geen kaarte nie!
16 Sep 2006, 18:09 pm
tappa henning not calling blatent foul.
16 Sep 2006, 18:10 pm
Lots of fighting.
There is going to be big kak
16 Sep 2006, 18:10 pm
The ref has to show a red card now … the Bulls deserve to get one.
16 Sep 2006, 18:10 pm
tipies Guppie Kannie rugby speel nie ook nie baklei nie maar hulle probeer
16 Sep 2006, 18:11 pm
Barrit down for the Sharks
Lobberts down for the Bulls
16 Sep 2006, 18:11 pm
Britney Barrit die faerie is beseer!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:11 pm
Redlion….rainman…..shut up
16 Sep 2006, 18:11 pm
sharks stomping but bulls must get a red card.
please!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:11 pm
RedLion
Both teams are guilty.
16 Sep 2006, 18:11 pm
Lobberts being replaced before he’s sent off.
16 Sep 2006, 18:12 pm
arseholes
16 Sep 2006, 18:13 pm
SPIES TRY
or penalty try
16 Sep 2006, 18:13 pm
Looks like Sharks are down to 14 men again.
16 Sep 2006, 18:13 pm
Francois Steyn tackles Spies without ball.
Penalty try.
Dirty filthy mud eating Sharks.
16 Sep 2006, 18:14 pm
hate to say it … nothing worse in rugby than an an arsehole like steyn causing a panalty try .. should get a yellow
16 Sep 2006, 18:14 pm
Spies was brought down illegally in the goal area.
Penalty try to the Bulls.
16 Sep 2006, 18:14 pm
rooi of geel
16 Sep 2006, 18:14 pm
****, **** ****, that should be a penalty try!!!!
To deny Spies that was blatant!!
Card also, please!!
Penalty try!
Yessssssssssssssss!
16 Sep 2006, 18:14 pm
Game set match.
Barrit and murray = useless.
16 Sep 2006, 18:14 pm
Steyn is lucky.
16 Sep 2006, 18:14 pm
the bulls have a tendency to struggle when they are ahead by a lot…!
16 Sep 2006, 18:14 pm

Die Blou Bul eet nie van die vloer af nie.
16 Sep 2006, 18:15 pm
Penalty try to the Sharks? TMO to decide.
16 Sep 2006, 18:16 pm
EN FOK VIR WATSON WATSON IS K@K
16 Sep 2006, 18:16 pm
With this ref the sharks have no chance. It is well known that Mark Lawrence does not like the sharks. He is quick to flash a yellow card at a shark player but is blind when bulls openly transgress the rules.
16 Sep 2006, 18:16 pm
oh no!
16 Sep 2006, 18:17 pm
Thats no try Tjarks, it’s a knock man!!
Pleaaasseee TV ref!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:17 pm
yessus Spies and Olivier sound like they are destroying the sharks on their own, the young Lobberts sounds pretty good too.
Sharks always going to struggle without AJ and BJ. How is Kees Lensing going?
16 Sep 2006, 18:17 pm
Try not awarded.
16 Sep 2006, 18:17 pm
good response by sharks … tmo try after chargedown
16 Sep 2006, 18:17 pm
nee wat die guppies choak vandag!
Soos altyd in groot games!
16 Sep 2006, 18:18 pm
kayzeten, are you a sharks supporter per chance?!
16 Sep 2006, 18:18 pm
Sorry boys
Ek oordeel volgens gehoor, maar klink my Natal het nie senters nie.
16 Sep 2006, 18:18 pm
TMO decides … try Sharks.
16 Sep 2006, 18:18 pm
Now Lawrence is looking for a way not to award a try to the sharks
16 Sep 2006, 18:18 pm
**** try was allowed!
16 Sep 2006, 18:18 pm
Bad call from me.
Try awarded
16 Sep 2006, 18:19 pm
disgrace
the ball was knocked on by pienaar.
16 Sep 2006, 18:19 pm
44 / 27, conversion over!
16 Sep 2006, 18:19 pm
What a crazy match this is
16 Sep 2006, 18:20 pm
# 301 Sharks forever
16 Sep 2006, 18:20 pm
cab #297 lensing been involved in some off the ball incidents with his former players, otherwise he is playing as props always do …
16 Sep 2006, 18:21 pm
man the sound is bad on RSG!
16 Sep 2006, 18:23 pm
JP Pieterson is K@K!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:23 pm
#312 Probably because it is the only free stream of the game on the internet. They might not be used to the traffic.
16 Sep 2006, 18:24 pm
Wynand Olivier tackle die wille hel uit hulle uit!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:24 pm
The Sharks are k@K
16 Sep 2006, 18:24 pm
Cab
Lobberts showed a rather ugly side today. I think he was replaced before he was sent off.
The Sharks backs are overated. Their defence is pitiful.
16 Sep 2006, 18:26 pm
you could be correct groen en goud. i never thought i would say this, but i am eternally grateful to RSG!
16 Sep 2006, 18:26 pm
Bulle, moenie op julle louere rus nie!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:26 pm
#312 Fading over here as well, very irritating, if it weren’t for keo, I wouldn’t have had a clue.
16 Sep 2006, 18:28 pm
Bismark jou ****** vuilgat, trapper!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:28 pm
ouch that hurt … shame on you Bismark
16 Sep 2006, 18:28 pm
kustanotherfan,
cheers, thought Lensing and all the other recent transfer talk might have sparked a wee bit of needle, still he’s one oke you wouldn’t want to stir up willy-nilly.
David,
That is a real shame about Lobbers, remember watching him in U19 world cup looked to be a very promising blindsider.
totally agree with sharks backs being overrated, still missing decent centers.
16 Sep 2006, 18:29 pm
ha ha ha ha die sharks verloor die game en hulle gaan die fight nog verder verloor…onhou ons manne van die NTRVL piets nie ons pk
16 Sep 2006, 18:29 pm
Nothing going on in the sharks backline. They look like beginners.
16 Sep 2006, 18:30 pm
I am still laughing at Bismark … studs on that poor Bull locks right *** cheek.
16 Sep 2006, 18:30 pm
tappa seems to have no problem with sharks stomping and even wants give the yards where the ball is directly into touch.
16 Sep 2006, 18:30 pm
jurre die souties van Natal is vuilgate
16 Sep 2006, 18:30 pm
Bulls backline rule vandag!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:30 pm
Like I said earlier, the Bulls are on a roll – hehehehehehe
16 Sep 2006, 18:31 pm
And if a backline looks poor against the bulls backline then u must know!!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:31 pm
Mooiste, my team wên, oeeee ek’s opgewonde!
16 Sep 2006, 18:33 pm
cat
stop talking ****.
bulls backline playing great today and the loose trio.
16 Sep 2006, 18:35 pm
There Lawrence goes again……looking for a reason to send off another shark !!
16 Sep 2006, 18:35 pm
Pale toe bulle, pale toe, dan’s ons 20 voor!!
Overrrrrrr!

amper tyd.
as die anti-bull faction nou klaar almal blameer het gaan hulle loftus en al die bul ondersteuners begin beledig?
16 Sep 2006, 18:35 pm

16 Sep 2006, 18:35 pm

Suck my toffie.
Cry baby.
16 Sep 2006, 18:36 pm
I am glad they do not play that ****** “liefling” song at absa park
16 Sep 2006, 18:36 pm
Ek sien GBS – ek sien!
If the Sharks had to win tonight, the Lions would have been one step closer to the semi’s – and by the time the semi’s arrives, they will have all their Bok players back and then everyone’s in HUGE S@#%T
16 Sep 2006, 18:37 pm
Why not give another yellow card and get it over with?
16 Sep 2006, 18:37 pm
it is only ****** because it is played everytime your team looses at loftus!
16 Sep 2006, 18:37 pm
Nog a penalty voor die pale, kom skop hom ok!
50 / 27
Hehehehehe hie hie ha!
16 Sep 2006, 18:37 pm
50 – 27 Bulls
The pretenders must stay at home.

Spies is looking more like an eighth man.
16 Sep 2006, 18:37 pm
331# Janee wragtag, kannie glo die Bul agterlyn is so goed nie, moet Natal wees wat hulle laat “shine”.
16 Sep 2006, 18:37 pm

You should be glad if the Sharks could just play rugby at Absa.
HAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAH
Plus another penalty to the Bulls.
16 Sep 2006, 18:38 pm
50 points up and to add insult to injury Solly T is on the field. Poor Sharks.
16 Sep 2006, 18:39 pm
Tjarks are their own worst enemies!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:39 pm
oh no, solly is on the field! watch how the sharks come back and win now!
16 Sep 2006, 18:39 pm
david #347
was going to ask you earlier if u changed yr opinion of spies.
left it at that stage.
16 Sep 2006, 18:40 pm
Ooooo, there’s a lot of A C T I O N tonight on this thread – loving it!
16 Sep 2006, 18:41 pm
Blow bulle, wat skuld julle vir lawrence !
16 Sep 2006, 18:41 pm
The Sharks a not winning because they play like Wee Pee. But they get a try and a bonus point.
16 Sep 2006, 18:41 pm
Powell kicked an up and under onto his own fullback – bwahahahaha – first time ive ever seen that.
16 Sep 2006, 18:42 pm
Lekker Sharks …. nog ‘n drie !
16 Sep 2006, 18:42 pm
Whinge whinge katzetzombie!
16 Sep 2006, 18:43 pm
50 / 32
16 Sep 2006, 18:43 pm
Pierre Spies na n natuurlike agsteman, nie n flank nie, volgens my outydse denke. Hel, hy is goed as die spel wyd raak.
Hy gaan weer MOTM wees, derde Saterdag in n ry.
Die outjie gaan die IRB se “youngster” prys wen op huidige vorm, glo my. Hy gaan n ‘hit’ wees op toer.
Ek wens sy pa kon hom nou sien.
16 Sep 2006, 18:44 pm
Pienaar looks hurt. Poor guy.
16 Sep 2006, 18:44 pm
it was interesting following all the comments throughout the week and today.
u all had a lot to say bout the bulls.
we’ve shut yr mouths up good and solid….ne!!!!!!
50 points against the fish, bleddie hel!
16 Sep 2006, 18:44 pm
18 punte verskil, 5 minute
Celebration!!!!!!!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:44 pm
This is great, just got back from work and checked the score!wonderful..About bloody time bullE!
16 Sep 2006, 18:45 pm
catfish #361 … when you have reached 50 you can try those things
16 Sep 2006, 18:45 pm
sushi time! spies is a bit of a genetic freak, and also appears to have the skills to match his physique.
16 Sep 2006, 18:46 pm
Wie’t gesê Olivier kan nie tacle nie…., kom uit jou vuil uil!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:46 pm
na =lyk na #365
16 Sep 2006, 18:46 pm
Al try die blow bulle hoe hard, hulle sal nie die Sharks op die punte leer vandag klop nie
16 Sep 2006, 18:46 pm
Heard today Spies is in talks with the Lions. That true?
16 Sep 2006, 18:47 pm
dennisb
I’ve never questioned Spies’s talent. Just the wisdom of selecting him for the Boks without CC and S14 experience. The guy should be allowed to specialise at 8 instead of being seen as a Schalk replacement.
16 Sep 2006, 18:47 pm
if u can’t beat them punch them seems to be sharks battle cry!
16 Sep 2006, 18:48 pm
Spies sal nooit by die bulle gaan nie
16 Sep 2006, 18:48 pm
Vanaand eet ek viskoekies, sushi, Shark fin sop!!
Lekka lekka!!

Man of the Match – Mark Lawrence omdat hy so K*k geblaas het
16 Sep 2006, 18:50 pm
Pragtig man Bulle. Nou gaan WP top eindig
16 Sep 2006, 18:50 pm

16 Sep 2006, 18:50 pm
Sardines on toast!!sorry dad no beef curry for you!!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:51 pm
Congrats GBS & Dennisb en al die ander Bulls – Nicely done!
16 Sep 2006, 18:51 pm
….en wie’t almal die Bulle afgeskryf??
Kom uit julle vuil uile, own up!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:51 pm
weet nou hoe ons woestynwyfie gisteraand gevoel het na die cheetahs gewen het.
16 Sep 2006, 18:52 pm
Geluk bulls supporters – goed gespeel.
16 Sep 2006, 18:52 pm
Game over. Bulls win the Sharks

16 Sep 2006, 18:52 pm
BULLE IS BAAS
Tjarkies kak die tank alweer vuil.

Wenners!!!!!!!
Dankie mooiste, waas my soene!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:53 pm
Hehehe – ja, Dennisb – vannaand slaap jy ook nie!
16 Sep 2006, 18:53 pm
Hey GBS ek ehet gese die Bulle gaan die 1 wen. Nou moet julle ook die Cheetahs klop en ons die Leeus. Dan is ons top.
Home semi and final
16 Sep 2006, 18:53 pm
thanks ruggababe en cat.

BWAHAHAHAHHAHA
You sound so sour????
16 Sep 2006, 18:54 pm
Too good today Bulls! Well done. Sharks have a lot more work to do in the “masterplan” of **** Muir’s.
At least we’ve still got a 5 log point gap on 5th spot.
16 Sep 2006, 18:54 pm
Bulle moet oppas vir relax in Kimberley. Lions het vandag amper hulle gat gesien.
16 Sep 2006, 18:54 pm
MOTM???
Spies, natuurlik!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:54 pm
Mooi GBS, geluk!!
Nou ja WP manne, se dankie vir oom GBS en sy manne, toe , moenie lelik wees nie………….
Dankie oom GBS en oom Bul!!!!!!!!! Baie, baie dankie.
16 Sep 2006, 18:55 pm
# 394 Not gonna happen Capeflatsboy – not in this lifetime, Cheetahs won’t allow that
16 Sep 2006, 18:55 pm
Sharks … you had the chance to secure a home semi-final and at the same time kick the Bulls in the teeth.
You failed … You miserable bunch of chokers … You Shamateurs … You Weaklings … You Fairies … You Scum.
I am disgusted in your performance and because of your failures my team will not make the play-offs. Thanks for nothing.
16 Sep 2006, 18:55 pm
Spies = Schalk and Skinstad combined
16 Sep 2006, 18:56 pm
Lekkaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 18:56 pm
Rugbybabe waar is adjudant
Bulle gaan julle ook klop
16 Sep 2006, 18:56 pm
David,
ya Spies is the ideal no 8 IMO.
16 Sep 2006, 18:57 pm

some congrats are in order, please.
16 Sep 2006, 18:57 pm
Hey Redlion.. At least you didn’t finish last on this log as well
16 Sep 2006, 18:58 pm
The Griquas should slaughter the bulls next week if one go on the way they played today
16 Sep 2006, 18:58 pm
Is Pierre MOTM? Moet wees.
16 Sep 2006, 18:58 pm
Neee, wat nie so maklik nie
16 Sep 2006, 18:58 pm
Spieeeeesie!!!!!!!

Its not over for the lions. Have faith bru.
16 Sep 2006, 18:59 pm
told u guys sharks will choke at kingspark nothing new. wynaand gave them a centre lesson.
spies great game
cc far below test rugby or s14
16 Sep 2006, 18:59 pm
dennisb,
congrats and quite a scoreline against what many tipped as the new CC pretenders.
Is Bakkies still out? bliksem.
16 Sep 2006, 18:59 pm
Party, party party!!!!!!!!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 19:00 pm
ig must be k*king himself.
careful what u say this week.
he’s going to stomp the victorius bull bloggers like the fish stomped the bulls in the scrums.
16 Sep 2006, 19:00 pm
Wat sê die log nou??
16 Sep 2006, 19:01 pm
the world seems as though every-thing is right again. The boks beat the blacks and the wannabees, the bulls beat the tjarks, and jacob zuma is in court-this is how life should be!
16 Sep 2006, 19:01 pm
Enjoy the celebrations tonight all – be good now
I’m off – catch ya’all l8ter
16 Sep 2006, 19:01 pm
Gongratulations Bulls.
I was impressed by your great win over the Sharks. Talk about kicking somebody when they are down. The Sharks will walk around with a scar for a long loooooong time.
Well done Bully boys … sies on you Sharks.
16 Sep 2006, 19:01 pm
418 – dit se dat sharks nog baas oor die bulle is
16 Sep 2006, 19:02 pm
hoekom is die leeus nie bo nie, ons is die beste
16 Sep 2006, 19:02 pm
Sharks are pap. No backline. Aimless airhead rugby. Well done Bulls. Spies for player of the year. Awesome.
Lobberts is a gangster the way he plays and it may disrupt his career. Vuilgat deluxe. Talented but full of negative issues. Needs discipline or otherwise Pollsmoor awaits.
So is Bismarck a vuil rubbish.
Butch is mediocre and always will be.
16 Sep 2006, 19:03 pm
Cheers RB!!
16 Sep 2006, 19:04 pm
kayzezombi
u sick or something.
50 points say the sharks were caught and gutted.
best the batter them, deep fry them and sell them as fish and chips.
16 Sep 2006, 19:04 pm
Spies= Zinzan Brooke plus more. Bok 8.
16 Sep 2006, 19:05 pm
Fish stew, fish cakes, Shark Fin Soup!!
Gutted & filleted!!
Sushi!!
16 Sep 2006, 19:05 pm
a decent performance by bulls after since cc final,
spies will be awesome in wc.
anyway we still ahead by one point we should have made two bonus points aleasr
GO SHARKS another off day at sea, wake up now!
16 Sep 2006, 19:06 pm
Rugbybabe
You leave just as I arrive…all I have is the lingering smell of your prefume. Eish.
Hello Groot and Dennis. I’m sure you okes are grinning from ear to ear. Well done. Thorough and convincing klap handed out to the Guppies.
16 Sep 2006, 19:07 pm
spies’s dad only started playing serious rugby after he became a champion hurdler
he would have been a springbok great just like his son is going to be if he concentrated on rugby io athletics
fresh vegetables to the whole spies family

butch is ****, just big head no show, hope they keep styn to develop.
16 Sep 2006, 19:07 pm
Come on now WP, slag die Lions….we will slag the Kwas & Cheat-us….
We want you….for revenge!!
16 Sep 2006, 19:08 pm
How? How will me make the play-offs?
We can beat the Wee Pee next week but I do not see a way in anymore. The Sharks screwed up our plans.
aargghh I am out of here.
16 Sep 2006, 19:08 pm
My tottie, imagine:
6. Burger 7. Smith/AJ 8. Spies
fok!
16 Sep 2006, 19:08 pm
hi jinx
hows it looking down camps bay way.
best thing on earth must be to be a bulls supporter and to live in camps bay.
16 Sep 2006, 19:09 pm
Ek weet nou wat gaan hier aan. Die Sharks het hierdie een gegooi. Bang vir die Lions in die semis of finaal!!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 19:10 pm

agree re spies clan.
16 Sep 2006, 19:10 pm

Ek’s nou so op ge-psyche!
Sing vir ons ‘n song!!!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 19:10 pm
Nailthem
I’ve never rated Butch from the day I saw him. He has nothing that Steyn offers. Sharks have a disorganised backline and I doubt that they will go all the way. In fact Free State and Bulls may be the finalists this year. I’d love to see WP there but I’m being realistic.
16 Sep 2006, 19:11 pm
This win by the blow bulls have drained all their stamina and they will go through another 5 losses before they recover…..
16 Sep 2006, 19:11 pm
Jinxie!
Just about to log off when I saw you!
How you are you? I meant to ask you about your new album – when will it go on sale? My fam will be visiting in 3 weeks’ time and I wanted to ask them to bring me a copy…
I have to start preparing for my course which will start on Monday, thus the reason why I have to check out a little early – at least it will be well worth it
16 Sep 2006, 19:12 pm
oh **** sharks
16 Sep 2006, 19:13 pm
Dennis
Only WP supporters can live in Camps Bay. Its official.
Pierre Spies can stay here if he signs up for WP.
16 Sep 2006, 19:13 pm
springbok bulls are much better so bulls should go all the way. lions will take 4 points next week with andre controlling, its going to come down to watson province vs sharks at kingspark and sharks may loose that one, kingspark not their hunting ground.
16 Sep 2006, 19:14 pm
jinx
nee man.
where’s the gentleman jinx now?
16 Sep 2006, 19:14 pm

Watse musiek maak Jinx?
16 Sep 2006, 19:15 pm
Rugbybabe
It will only be finished early next year.
Your perfume is way beautiful. Gosh…you are so feminine.
Well done for last night too. Free State kicked some butt.
16 Sep 2006, 19:15 pm
Rb, voor jy waai….jy moet behoorlik groet!
16 Sep 2006, 19:16 pm
jinx,
Robbie Diack is very promising too, different player, but also going to be a great number 8 or blindsider in a year or two.
Big Joe and Jacques Cronje really have their work cut out.
16 Sep 2006, 19:16 pm
Catfish
A mix van alles – dink nie ek het al sy musiek gehoor nie, dis hoekom wil ek graag een van sy CD’s kry

Your nic says it all. All a SA man wants is an understanding and kind and genuine rugby babe.
You got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 19:18 pm
sharks lack that killer bite,
jinx i think u right, repeat of last year ccf but at bloem, would be great for rassie hopes he wins it
16 Sep 2006, 19:19 pm
Hello Jinx
Vinnige groet, moet gaan le bru, 2 vm hier!
Spies 8ste man? Moerse!
Stem saam, begin al hoe meer lyk na Bulls/Cheetas finaal.
Ou GBS smile lekker vanaand, ek is bly vir die ou se part.
Lekker verder daar innie ‘Bay’.
Keep sailin’ brother.
16 Sep 2006, 19:19 pm
Dankie Jinxie, jou charmer
So sal jou nuwe album sal beskikbaar wees teen die einde van Sept / baie vroeg in Okt?
16 Sep 2006, 19:20 pm
Nailthem
With you on that bru, but I think all the teams will be thinking OOOOO lala here’s comes trouble. Bulls are looking too hard at forward for others to cope with.
The Spies factor is a real threat.
16 Sep 2006, 19:20 pm

Amper gedog Valiant Swart is dalk op die site. Sy naam in ‘n tv reeks hier was mos Jinx.

Wonder where everybody else went??? Dont ask.
16 Sep 2006, 19:28 pm
AH..AH…AH…AHHH……AAAHHHHHH…..
ANNIHILATION!!!!!
Sharks are on the endangered species list.
16 Sep 2006, 19:28 pm
The Lions were very ordinary today and I think they will come 5th on the log. Too late for tears.
16 Sep 2006, 19:28 pm
O, en dankie vir al die oulike komplimente
16 Sep 2006, 19:28 pm
Dankie en Cheers RB, XXXXXXXXXXXX

Come to CTown. Don’t mind if you support Free State.
Take care. My Irish charm is getting the better of me.
16 Sep 2006, 19:29 pm
On my way to CT Jinxie
Will let you know soon. Will be there untill after second weekend in Oct.
So who knows, a braai at the old school ground at the North Stand with KingPaul, Boerboel and the gang if WP can manage to pull the final over there.
We might get David and GBS to fly down, don’t worry about tickets, I am connected…..to a portable TV on my Musso’s bonnet under the oaks on the school ground, best spot around, you can hear the roar of the crowd loud and clear from there while you turn your ‘vleisie oppie kole’!
16 Sep 2006, 19:30 pm
Cheers everyone
Enjoy and have a good one.
16 Sep 2006, 19:30 pm

Sounds great. All the best broer in Korea. You are one seriously dedicated rugby fan. Geez, I don’t know how you do it with the time differences.
16 Sep 2006, 19:36 pm
Pierre Spies is a giant. We are seeing the rise of a legend player. Lets hope he stays injury free. The days of Big Joe are gone. This is the real thing without the hype.
16 Sep 2006, 19:38 pm
Cheers Grootblou,Dennis,Catfish, Pieterman and all the fans of da game we love.
16 Sep 2006, 19:41 pm
Ek weet jy sal, en jy sal dit geniet. Lekker ouens daar, wyn en vrugteboere van Ceres Wellington en Paarl en so.
Dis beter as n losie, lekker uitsig op die berg en als. Ek het al my losie by PSG prysgegee vir dit, dis moers lekker.
En daai TV is volkleur ****, jy moet net bietjie boomklim vir die antenna, maar daar is gewoonlik skool laaities wat dit doen.

16 Sep 2006, 19:53 pm
$hite,just finnished watching,well done Bulle!!!
16 Sep 2006, 20:13 pm
Geluk aan die Bulle, rerig goed gespeel
16 Sep 2006, 20:17 pm
Bulls played well.Fair enough.The Sharks forwards were woefull.
16 Sep 2006, 20:27 pm
yeah, well done bully boys, u deserved this one. london, the sharks forwards were nowhere hey. our backline attacked well but at the breakdown we lost the ball. not to mention the lineouts.
spies showed me today what all the hype is about. rossouw was also a giant. why oh why cant russel get a start?
16 Sep 2006, 20:28 pm
485 Jinx – well said – better than that motor mouth in the blue & white down south
16 Sep 2006, 20:30 pm
Bulls deserved winners on the day. Sharks disrupted by injuries, and i am sure Rassie made some notes, the Sharks were outmuscled in the forward exchanges.
Sharks were poor tonite, and it was very physical. might count in the Cheetah’s favour, I don’t know if the Sharks can face two tough encounters like this
I think the Bulls could have done even better if “Liefling” doesn’t play so deep!!
He took one tackle, and was almost “injured” What a baby!!!
16 Sep 2006, 20:40 pm
Die Bulle was warm.
16 Sep 2006, 20:40 pm
Los ons liefling uit , nie op sy heel beste vandag maar goed genoeg, “looks at the scoreboard” Daar was genoeg van alles deur hom ons is lief vir ons liefling
16 Sep 2006, 20:41 pm
apple-eater #495
no not injuries, as you say bulls deserved every single point by playing rugby.
putting 50 on the fish. why would they want to do better.
the way that backline was firing i don’t know what else hougie needs to do to convince you!
16 Sep 2006, 20:43 pm
Veels geluk Bulle. Veels geluk. Nie net het jule ons planne behoorlik vanaand in die wiele gery nie, maar ook het jul my aand behoorlik bederf. Gewoonlik na so ‘n wedstryd by ABSA kom ek eers na midsdernag tuis, maar vanaand is ek, nog nie eens 20:00 nie, terug vanaf ABSA stasium …
Dit genoem kom ons wees terselfdetyd realisties. Die LIONS het 36 punte op die log en hul PV = 17. Wen hul beide hul oorblywende wedstryde met bonuspunte eindig hul met 46 punte op die log.
Met die SHARKS se laaste wedstryd teen die valke dink ek ons kam met taamlik sekerheid sê ‘n 5 punte is aan die orde van die dag wat meebring dat ons ten minste met 46 punte op log gaan eindig. Ons PV = 168, so ek dink ons kan met taamlik sekerheid sê dat ons ten minste ‘n semi gaan haal al verloor ons, ons volgende wedstryd teen die Cheetahs.
Ons kan egter nie dieselfde sê van die Bulle nie… Verloor hul, hul laaste wedstryd teen die Cheetahs met geen bonuspunt, kan hul dalk net hul plek in die semi kwyt wees. Kortliks hul moet ten minste 6 punte uit hul oorblywende wedstrydde kry (Griekwas & Cheetahs) en u moet ‘n optmist wees om te dink u gaan dit lag lag bekom……
Dan weer kan WP jul net ‘n guns bewys en volgende week met die LIONS afreken en jul plek verseker….
Weereens veels geluk Bulle. My boorpelling vir f die eindevan die reeks is
CHEETAHS = 51
SHARKS = 51
WP = 48
Bulle = 46
LIONS = 45
16 Sep 2006, 20:45 pm
Ek vra omverskoning… dit is nie swak spelling nie, maar uiters vrot tik werk…….
16 Sep 2006, 20:52 pm

good summary 499
16 Sep 2006, 21:08 pm
dennisb
It was a great win by the Bulls but don’t get carried away over Hougaard!
16 Sep 2006, 21:13 pm
Wynand Olivier showed what a class act he is and how much good his stint with the Boks has done him. The lad has a good step, good speed and an eye for the gap. He is also blessed with good hands and must be technically the best tackler in SA. He is fulfilling his early Bok U21 promise where he scored one of the best tries I have seen in years against Oz that year. It was simply sublime
16 Sep 2006, 21:30 pm
man some exciting rugby in SA this weekend, this must be the most tries you fullas have seen.
Are there any defenders there, or is everyone looking for the next chance to score?

Wynand has a lot of potential, I agree and he looked a lot more creative than he did with the Boks. Which is probably due to the restrictive tactics of Jake and Alistair.
I think he still has a season or two before he’s the finished article. Murray gifted him those 2 breaks.
If he’s to develop he needs to do it under a coach who’s prepared to trust him and let him find his own game.
16 Sep 2006, 21:39 pm
Wynand was solid with the Boks getting better with each game…..but playing him out of position did him no favours…..one week it was 12, next 13 and then 14………thats Jake for you. The guy is a classic 12, creative and good hands. At 23, he is ready enough and his tests caps have done him a world of good. There is talk that he may be moving to the Sharks!!
16 Sep 2006, 21:40 pm
David,
Murray gifted him those 2 breaks, aaag come on just admit he shut a lot of people up , properly.
16 Sep 2006, 21:43 pm

hougie did what he is paid for today. a respectful day at the office for him.
doesn’t make him the best in the country or a bok candidate.
16 Sep 2006, 21:46 pm
PROVINCE!!!
We’re back, we wasted the Valke and the Bulls won the Sharks. Now we’re back at second place. Back in blue and white!

Spies is brilliant. We have several brilliant loose forwards in our country. Pieere Spies, Schalk Burger, Juan Smith, Luke Watson, Warren Brits, Joe v Niekerk, Jacques Botes, Wikus v Heerden, AJ Venter, Robbie Diack, Cobus Grobbelaar, Solly Tybilika, Ernst Joubert, Ryno vd Merwe, Kabamba Floors, Pedrie Wannenburg.
We really have an overflow of the numbers 6, 7 and 8.
16 Sep 2006, 21:53 pm

just so long as you want them to carry the ball rather than get or keep the ball!

5. Habana has had a **** year because on his way to the tryline he has to stop and tell the fans how good he really is…
Comment by Tony
6. dries played 13 outside EB. it is where he made his mark a few years ago. he has lots of experience there. thats not the reason.
the reason must be that JP and WO has played alot of rugby together so they know each other.
dries should have been played at 12 to keep young barrit on his toes and WO looked better at 13 when he was played their for the boks. i think that it wont be long however before dries regains a starting position. and it will probably be good for dries to fight for his position, after he dropped the bulls in such a hurry last time

Shouldn’t you always pick your in-form players?
Aaah, I forgot, this is the Bulls we’re talking about…
Comment by Quinnyshark
11. I’m not complaining…
Consider this:
1 – JP Nel – their most useless prop – is starting…
2 – Stef Basson – their most talented back is benched.
Loving it.

12. JP`s career was made on a late tackle against JDV.. As good as it got for him…

13. Oh, &
3 – Morne Steyn is also benched
This is good, cause Derrick will be standing so deep on Saterday, he’ll be in Port Shepstone…

Guys
Wynand may have shut up a lot of idiots, I agree. I suppose that I’m a bit jaundiced when it comes to the way we coach in this country.
Coaches take talents like Wynand and try to mould it rather than groom it and let it develop. We are so determined to use what we’ve got that we’re frightened of letting it fail.
Dennisb
Sorry if I misunderstood you. I’ve just grown a little tired of having Hougaard touted as the “answer” by uninformed Bulls supporters. You’re quite right. It was a “good day at the office” rather than an inspired performance.
16 Sep 2006, 21:57 pm
dennisb,
ja, maar ons sal hulle “eliminate”!
16 Sep 2006, 21:59 pm
Boys, vandag moet ons tekkel

the bulls are still only 4th on the log,shame poor things
16 Sep 2006, 22:08 pm
ruggababe swot so ek kan dit seker se.
cc final gaan bulls teen wp wees.
cheetahs het te vroeg gepeak en sharks het nou te eina om terug te kom.
lions is ‘n bysaakie.
16 Sep 2006, 22:09 pm
quite right bok,dennisb,the blou moos standing in the way of wp,pleeeeeeeeeez!
we klopped you twice,some of your supporters are still chunking mate.cheetahs are always tuff but NOT the blou moos.
16 Sep 2006, 22:11 pm
puff daddy
read 521.
wp // bulls final.
cheetahs peaked to early, sharks now mentally destroyed and the lions are dental floss for the other teams.
16 Sep 2006, 22:12 pm
and to think the valke almost gave those nlou moos a hiding in brackpan,next week the kwas in there own backyard.
16 Sep 2006, 22:13 pm
puffdaddy
get real. valke didn’t ever look like winning in brakpan.
16 Sep 2006, 22:16 pm
Have been stuck in the middle of nowhere all day and unable to follow the game, but how nice to come back and read about such a great result. Well done my Bullies! You’ve made me very happy.
16 Sep 2006, 22:16 pm
sure dennisb,bulls/wp final at newlands…. a beating will be handed out for the 3rd time in a row!
the latest sports illustrated says it all…”natural born thrillers” sure the wp team may be young and prone too many mistakes but when they get it right they are unbeatable!
it might take a year or 2 to play total rugby week in and week out but for now “entertainment” is all we want down in the cape.
sharks game at the beginning of season was a case in point,although wp lost they outscored the shraks 5 tries to 3!
16 Sep 2006, 22:18 pm
you are right dennisb but the bulls almost lost the game by there own bumbling,nice to see them back tonight but its too little too late im afraid
16 Sep 2006, 22:20 pm
puffdaddy
if the final was next week wp sure.
don’t know if the bulls can stick to the new (david’s) gameplan and win a couple on the trot.
they were impressive today.
16 Sep 2006, 22:25 pm
dennisb
Please don’t blame me for the Bulls adoption of a rational game plan!
16 Sep 2006, 22:26 pm
Lot of permutations left, WP must pray the Cheetahs dont lose next to against Sharks and Bulls , that will leave them 4th,and maybe another semi against Cheetahs for WP and another semi snotklap. Free state have your number, shame
16 Sep 2006, 22:27 pm
david
no blame just pure gratitude.
you said it:
keep forwards out the backline
sling the ball out wide
and get the loosies to do their job.
now its going to cost you the cc.
16 Sep 2006, 22:27 pm
they were impressive indeed and i think if they had bakkies and matfield in the mix they might have klopped the sharks by 70!
but there in lies the problems for wp,exuburance of youth,and the need too impress can often be there undoing but again it ws good to see the bulls back.
cant understand why they dont play like that week in and week out.
16 Sep 2006, 22:30 pm
sure superbul but wp have smacked the bulls twice this season and are even stevens with the cheetahs so where you get this number thing i dont know.
16 Sep 2006, 22:32 pm
as for that fran steyn laaitie from the sharks well…after the wp game in that downpour ALL th shark supporters were in here and bleeting about the kid but tonight i see he cost his team 14 points!
a one game wonder prehaps?
16 Sep 2006, 22:32 pm
dennisb
For me, SA rugby is more important than provincial loyalties. It’s difficult to deny praise for a team that genuinely outplays yours. WP don’t have a side to win the CC this year so I won’t be disappointed. The Bulls don’t either. The Cheetahs should retain the cup this year and deservedly so.
16 Sep 2006, 22:36 pm
puff
yesterday is history.
the future starts now.
if the bulls can recreate todays performance and the wp play to their best it will be one of the nicest games in years.
the speed alone will be dazzling!
16 Sep 2006, 22:37 pm
All the CC sides defence is sadly lacking somewhat. Sharks were atrocious without their “daddy” AJ.
Sharks backline is a joke outside of No 10.
16 Sep 2006, 22:38 pm
Macky,
The previous 2 years you were eliminated by the Cheetahs and the Province will play against the men now the boys are rested now
16 Sep 2006, 22:40 pm
come on dave,you are jumping the gun!
unfortunetly in sa rugby provincial sides come first and prob always will,too much invested in individual players and the provinces quite righty want there “moneys” worth.
wp are a classic case in point paying big whacking salries too jouba,barry,joe and so on and they are either under performing or always injured so the boys at wp HQ atlast got rid of some of the rot(jouba).
he had plenty oppotunity too impress in the super 14 this and didnt.
wp not having a team to win the cup this year??? well who said the cheetahs were going to win either bra,wp got there bonus point today within 10 min! and prehaps they are not the finished article just yet but that is the beauty of the unknown china,if they turn up on the day they will plunder any team in the currie cup by 50 and i include the cheetahs in that equation boet.
believe it because its trooooooo
16 Sep 2006, 22:40 pm
david
cheetahs just seem to be on a downward curve for me. their game is not as sharp as at the beginning of the season?
i really don’t know but a wp // bulls final is a distinct possibility.
16 Sep 2006, 22:42 pm
not making much sense there superbul but hey lets move on….
you see you refer too the last 2 years we in the cape have forgotten about todays mis match and are thinking about next week in jozi!
16 Sep 2006, 22:44 pm
well den,you know what they say in provincial terms…theres no battle like a traditional north versus south!
but although it wont happen this year i would crave to see a match up between those 2 sides and include the like of bakkies,matfield,du preez,schalla,paulse and so on.
it would be interesting but then again a bulls/wp clash always is
16 Sep 2006, 22:47 pm
anything more been heard about luke pissing his teammates off?
or was it nonsense.
16 Sep 2006, 22:47 pm
ja lets leave it there , i am just glad we won today any way would do. Now we must make sure we dont slip against Griekwas
16 Sep 2006, 22:48 pm
Macdaddy
WP are lacking a 9 and 10 and 12( if Barry plays)who can do it in difficult matches against the top teams. Valke, Pumas and Griquas don’t count.
I love WP but am aware that structured teams like Free State can and have shown us our glaring weaknesses.
The Lions were not on song today and WP will have to put them to bed on SAT to really convince me that they have what it takes to go all the way.
16 Sep 2006, 22:48 pm
Jinx
I think we both commented at the beginning of this thread that the Sharks were buggered without AJ to combat the Bulls loosies and stabilise the team.
As you said, backline defence is pitiful.
Macdaddy,
Where the **** do you get the idea that WP can put 50 points over a top CC side? They’ve had difficulty doing it to the lower sides.
16 Sep 2006, 22:50 pm
nonsence den.dont always believe what you hear in the press mate.
luke(like james small was) is just mis understood.he of all people accepting his hiding from the cheetahs…live on national tv with….”we did not deserve to win tonight and were beaten by a far superior team” and in the ct press in the week that followed he said as much.
16 Sep 2006, 22:56 pm
jinx mate you hit the nail on the head.
they will be found out by more structered teams but thats exuburance of youth bro.
they have three guys who are only 20 in the set up including tighhead prop brok harris and if i do recall tighthead is suppose to be the rock of your team.
i hear what you say about 9,10,12 issue but give this naas oke a chance(danie craven would be turning in his grave to find out that a naas was playing for his beloved hoops,jammer danie)
grant formed a cool combo with naas before he got crocked so we will see.
they say that figian bloke is a center and is keeping out seconds at the mo..what a a shame!
dave…wp have probbies beating the lower rung teams?! who the bulls and the lions mmm what comp are you watching my boy,the womens division prehaps?
16 Sep 2006, 22:57 pm
and dave i said in a year or 2 wp can do it not now so…lay off the roids my china!
16 Sep 2006, 22:57 pm
jee no sharks supporters in here tonight…strange!?
16 Sep 2006, 23:01 pm
Even with AJ I think the Sharks would have struggled. They were also missing BJ. They were always on he backfoot and and starring down a barrel. Spies is the form man right now. I was also impressed with Heine Adams. Good game.
Hougaard…is the yawn of all yawns. If the Bulls had a Pretoors or even a De Waal they would be much more on fire. Hougaard is hardly king…neither is Morne Steyn when he is at No 10. They both flatter to deceive.
Bismark is a dirty little **** but Lobberts is destined for jail if he plays with that attitude of his. He disappointed me today.
16 Sep 2006, 23:01 pm
The game was exciting and the bulls deserved winners. However – poor rugby. Poor defence, basic mistakes aplenty – however as I said still exciting.
I’ve just watched the u/21 game. Chilliboy went off with an injury. Im worried about his prospects. he is very injury prone. He must been down about 7 times during the game. He doesnt look comfortable.
16 Sep 2006, 23:04 pm
just like jean de villiers catfish,they boy has mega talented but often finds himself in the sick bay.
16 Sep 2006, 23:06 pm
and guess what jinx,lobberts is a cape town boy!
brilliant in the national age group world cups like another youngster comming through the wp ranks,shandre frollick,the boy is as talented as aplon,if not more so and he is only 20!
16 Sep 2006, 23:07 pm
Catfish
Spot on.Poor Rugby. Defence in most teams is almost non existent.
Waylon Murray is a Vodacom Cup player.
Are we going to take our reserve No 2 to the WCup without the player(Chiliboy) having any experience in the test arena? Silly move if we do.
16 Sep 2006, 23:08 pm
macdaddy
I didn’t say that WP had problems beating the lower sides. Only that your claim that they can put 50 points past any side on their day is a bit of an exageration.
The great WP sides of the past, especially Divans team, had a superb pack not youthfull exhuberance. We need to mature, it will take a couple of years and the introduction of some mature players in the pack.
16 Sep 2006, 23:11 pm
Macdaddy
Lobberts needs to balance and control his aggression. Channel it in a positive way. He could cost his side plenty penalties and yellow cards. He has potential but must learn not to be his own worst enemy. Perhaps he’s trying too hard to “impress” the folk up north.
16 Sep 2006, 23:13 pm
Jinx
Today was the first game that Chiliboy started in 2 months – thx to Jake. And that was a u/21 match. Him ready to go to the world cup?
16 Sep 2006, 23:16 pm
Catfish
I’ve been saying the same thing for a while about Chiliboy. Jake is going to ruin him. Let the kid prove himself at CC and S14 first.
16 Sep 2006, 23:16 pm
WP must beware of playing too loose. Playing for the gallery. Almost wanting to entertain at at any price. Half rugby and half touch rugby is not going to bring the Cup home to Cape Town.
Balance is key and wise heads at 9 10 and 12.
16 Sep 2006, 23:20 pm
Guys, I’ve just had a lekker Scooters pizza and I feel better!!! Tikka Chicken. A bit hot but good for the soul.
Catfish, Jake knows how to destroy players on many levels. He’s king in that department.
16 Sep 2006, 23:20 pm
cant agree with you more jinx.
again dave…i said in a year or 2,not now!
sure the cheetahs deserved there win,the sharks NOT!
you can gauge much from a result in conditions like that mate and in there first encounter there outscored the sharks in the try count eventhough loosing the match in the end(try count was wp 5 and the sharks 3)
today they got there bonus point within 10min bro.the bulls struggled to beat these boys from brackpan and wp were resting a few dudes aswell.
my point is…sure they will get found out every now and then but thats the style they are playing(HIGH RISK) but give them time and you will see.
rassie is a legend way before his time and nick said juring his days as a player he would make a good coach one day because of the vison he has,its something that cannot be taught ad although he is only in his second year me thinks he will be pulling a bok coaching blazer on sooner than everyone thinks
16 Sep 2006, 23:20 pm
Well done bulle u played very well. Sharks struggled against those up and unders and made silly mistakes. anyway sharks its better u play a shocker now than in the semis or the final
16 Sep 2006, 23:21 pm
Yes agree. I can tell u now – if he would play a full S14 match now he will not last. I dont know – I watched him closely tonight and its almost like everytime when he went to ground in a tackle or ended up at the bottom of a ruck that I didnt expect that he will get up. And it happened a few times tonight where he stayed down. And that is only u/21. Something is not right with him – cant put my finger on it.
16 Sep 2006, 23:21 pm
but jinx he needs to go!
he has tried to hoodwink us too often.
16 Sep 2006, 23:22 pm
thats if they get there keepin….,in the wp match everyone was crowing about this fran steyn kid and today he cost his team 14 points!
a one game wonder prehaps?
16 Sep 2006, 23:24 pm
Keegan Daniel also played for the u/21s today. Good player but need some bulk – too light for a looseforward in senior rugby.
16 Sep 2006, 23:25 pm
-yeah macdaddy the kid made a couple mistakes,but he wasn’t the only one! i agree that there was to much hype about him after the wp game,anyway he’s only 19 and has a brilliant future ahead of him
16 Sep 2006, 23:27 pm
Jinx
Goodnight, my friend.
16 Sep 2006, 23:28 pm
sure jinx,bollas is getting on abit(29 i think) but paul delport won the under 19 world final all on his own 2 years ago in argentina but has not been given the chance.
even juring the corne benefit match he was sublime and he played today…atlast!
i dont know too much about this entertaining stuff you know,i rekon it could be the deciding factor in this years currie cup.granted they are a very young side.
16 Sep 2006, 23:29 pm
Macdaddy
Rassie wants the job. You can feel it. He has done wonders with FS. There is a great art in refining the talent available and expressing it with balanced power. Rassie is doing that. They have no flash players, they play as a team and think like one living organism. He has raised them to more than what they are on paper. You have to respect that.
Most people outside the FS like them as their 2nd best team because they always do more with less. I have great admiration for their rugby philosophy…not to mention their inventiveness when it comes to disco lights on top of the roof!!! Helgaard too takes the cake.
16 Sep 2006, 23:29 pm
the sharks definately have a lot to prove againt the cheetahs! a win and everything will be back on track for the sharks
16 Sep 2006, 23:30 pm
David
Goodnight bru.
16 Sep 2006, 23:31 pm
Cheers everybody
Bulls supporters – good win. But remember that was not the CC final u won today and NO, the bulls backline should NOT be the bok backline!!!!
Ciao
16 Sep 2006, 23:32 pm
yeah but jinx but don’t forget most guys get one crack as bok coach. why not give rassie 2 more years? get the cheetahs into the super14 semi and he has my vote
16 Sep 2006, 23:32 pm
yip keepin,he sure has talent as has keegan(in shed loads) and i dont agree with this bulking up story.
aplon is a case n point and breyton is another.paulse has alway been small and i remember watching himplay for a wp 7′s team at stellies in a inter provincial comp when he was only 16! dont forget lomu has never scored against the little guy and aplon tackles anything that moves…including frikkie welshman,who is probably double the guys size!
16 Sep 2006, 23:35 pm
Kir
The Sharks backline is lacking a lot. I seriously think the Sharks will not make the finals this year. Its a young team like WP and they need to develop more. They were munched today. Sharks will be better starting with Steyn at 10 and let Butch be his understudy at the most. Butch is not good. He is average.
16 Sep 2006, 23:36 pm
Kir
Rassie after WCup 2007.
16 Sep 2006, 23:36 pm
dont know if you can use super 14 as a gauge though,when the boks won the tri nations in 2004 i think the only team to make the play offs were the stormers(in christchurch) and lost,just.
nick mallet never had super 12 experience and look at his record as bok coach and what about the immortal kitch?
his 95 bok team had virtually no internationhal experience but won the greatest rugby comp on the planet!
think its all about who wants it more on the day
16 Sep 2006, 23:37 pm
macdaddy
There is so much young talent coming through in sa rugby at the moment.i’m not saying all of them are bok material but jake would be wise to give smit,matfield,fourie,du preez,montgomery and os a rest at the end of the year and pick some form cc players! besides the ‘A’ team hasn’t done so well overseas in the last couple years anyway
16 Sep 2006, 23:40 pm
572..i know.before that match in bloemies the ct press were predicting a massacre(for wp) puh and look what happened!
dont know if rassies will be able to sit on the grandstand roof at newlands though,he will get blown off before the match starts!
but all power to him,he out thaught the wp team completely
16 Sep 2006, 23:40 pm
578-jinx i would not write off butch just yet,i agree he had a shocher tonight but i remember how he and davidson single handedly carried the sharks a couple seasons back
16 Sep 2006, 23:41 pm
Macdaddy
We got lucky against France in the semis and who was going to stop us in the final. The game has changed much since then.
16 Sep 2006, 23:44 pm
but didn’t spies and lobberts have great games tonight!!
16 Sep 2006, 23:48 pm
quite right keepin.
from a wp supporters point of view i reckon that keegan daniel oke will be a true legend one day!
as we use to say about skinstad in 97,he is a unpolished diamond and has qualities you cant coach!
dont think jp is the answer or montys understudy at fullback though.he cant seem to kick properly and almost hacks at the ball,its a shame coz he has talents in other areas.
but it always seems to be the case that out talent either slips through the cracks or goes unnoticed.
russell is a classic example.he is
a game breaker like no other but has no confidence because NO confidence has been shown to him by his coaches!
imagine that guy at 10,de villiers at 12,fourie at 13,habana,paulse and aplon making up the back three and du prez as scrummie!
mate…the back devision scream TALENT but am afraid jake has lost his marbles somewhere along the line
brent,while at uct,was one of the top goal kickers if not the TOP in the cape rugby division,so ask yourself…what has gone wrong!?
16 Sep 2006, 23:49 pm

I remember how De Wet and Marius carried WP a few years ago. Now no one would dream of wasting their time with them. Things change so fast these days. Frans Steyn is more of a complete player, more of a natural. I rate that youngster. I’ve never rated Butch. Sure he’s had some good games over the years, but Steyn has something mercurial. Butch is a in your face trier and cut and thrust player…Steyn is a wizard…a magician…a conjurer. At 19 he is very unusual. **** would be wise to look long and far with Steyn. He is different.
16 Sep 2006, 23:51 pm
584.indeed the game has changed alot since then but so has the fear amongst apposing international teams(for the boks!)
sean fitzpatrick use to call it mongrel! bakkies has it as does schalla,**** i saw that guy jogging in one of the streets that surrounds newlands and it looks like he has beefed up big time….look out world!
16 Sep 2006, 23:55 pm
Macdaddy and KIR
Goodnight guys.
16 Sep 2006, 23:56 pm
again,jinx,its that talent you were talking about earlier!
so lets look after a guy like fran steyn,grief we are crying out for decent flyhalfs as it is but thats always been the case ever since the mighty7 lem departed the scene.
as a wp supporter i have to confess i cant see naas olivier ever pulling on the bok jersey(he is good but he is not international good)
even that guy from the cheetahs….where the hell is he?
16 Sep 2006, 23:56 pm
cheers jinx!
16 Sep 2006, 23:57 pm
yeah jinx i agree steyn is the long term sharks and hopefully bok solution. imagine the bokke with a brilliant no 10! pretorius aint bad but imagine someone in the wilkinson/carter/larkham league
16 Sep 2006, 23:57 pm
jeez,imagine schalla and spies on the flanks for the boks!!!!!!
16 Sep 2006, 23:58 pm
chow jinx its always cool chatting with u boet
17 Sep 2006, 00:00 am
yeah macdaddy that would be a potent combo. who would u have with them as a loose forward?
17 Sep 2006, 00:02 am
chow macdaddy gonna get some sleep
17 Sep 2006, 00:03 am
Juan smith op 8ste man
17 Sep 2006, 00:04 am
Chaps, as I said earlier, my prediction is as follows
CHEETAHS = 51
SHARKS = 51
WP = 48
BULLS = 46
Lions (No Semi) = 45
Yes, I agree, my team got a pretty good hiding today…. but this s does not mean that you can write them off. As I said before we I am nearly 100% sure that we have at least a semi spot. The bulls on the other hand can’t say that yet for sure and unfortunately they might have to wait another two weeks before they would really know.
We are there, you are not…… so enjoy your win tonight
Ps – Final Cheetahs vs Sharks…lol
17 Sep 2006, 00:10 am
sure kaballas,juan at 8 sounds good because he would compliment the other 2!
17 Sep 2006, 00:12 am
as a wp supporter i have to admit again,that schalla and luke have never worked in any form of partnership so next years super 14 will be interesting.
but make no mistake,watson has managed to do what schalla,de wet and de **** failed to do and that is gell wp together.onlt time will tell what comes of this turn around
17 Sep 2006, 00:13 am
just imagine schalla fetching the ball, so that spies and juan can run amock!!! All 3 of them are line-out options aswell!
Great stuff!!!!
17 Sep 2006, 00:15 am
sure thing bluff,wp to take on the sharks in semi…anytime weather that be in durbs or slaapstad.
the blou moos against the cheetahs should be interesting…again!
17 Sep 2006, 00:17 am
Shark fin soup.
17 Sep 2006, 00:20 am
there we have it kaballas.and i saw schalla last week bro,the guy has added abit more beef.
but spies is something special huh he oozes talent but best of all he is still young
bakkies “i like to hurt people” botha and matfield can take care of the engine room and well the front row is abit of a mystery umm i actually thaught bj played well.could always have a schalk brits type coming off the bench.os stays where he is.
how was that murdering session against rodzille PUH that wobbly stood no chance
17 Sep 2006, 07:19 am
Robbie Harris was reversing quicker than a cat in a dog fight. Jody Jenneker is simply not good enough either.
Johan Muller was playing like he had arrived and was outplayed by Danie Rossouw. Butch was kak.
17 Sep 2006, 07:44 am
A commanding performance from the Bulls as they admittedly ran riot over the Sharks.The returning Boks definitely added spice to this encounter especially Spies,Olivier and Danie Roussow were immense.The Sharks looked too young,inexperienced and key players failed to control the game.However,they were exciting on attack and had the pack been able to withstand the Bulls any better,the result could have been reversed.Well done Bulle and it’s going to be a hectic end to the Currie Cup.
17 Sep 2006, 08:01 am
Replay off the game now on at Supersport1, so lekker to watch if youre a Bulls suporter.
17 Sep 2006, 08:07 am
Well done Bulls and supporters.
I tipped the Bulls for this one for one simple reason – backs against the wall and they could not afford to lose it.
Only sad thing is that our teams do not pick themselves up consistently like this.
But well done nonetheless, great game.
Okay firstly, Adams shut me up, I am a huge critic of his and he had a very good game, service was quick and he was everywhere – well done.
I am still unsure about Wynand’s true potential…
Often he shows some brilliance, but often he is mediocre too.
I think he has shaken the EB ghost and he needs to back himself more now – like he did today.
It is great watching him play with confidence as he did today, and if anything, the stint with the Boks might have just given him the confidence he displayed today – back yourself more Wynand.
Spies – enough said.
Sharks missed AJ today, and don’t be fooled, at halftime it was still close and could have gone either way but the injury to Butch was crucial, after he was subbed everything fell apart.
His injury definately had an effect on the game since Ruan had to take all the kicks even while he was on the field.
Man I have said it too many times.
JP Pietersen is as overrated as Luke.
How he could have earned a Bok cap amazes me, hopefully he improves as he gets older, but I doubt it.
Murray was useless today, and Barrit looked like a rabbit in headlights. With Butch gone, they were lost in structure.
Botes had a good game again, but too many off the ball stuff.
The Sharks missed AJ, actually a captain.
And on that note, well done Gary, rallied the guys brilliantly and this is the difference in a team (captain) more often than not.
Well done again – enjoy the great 50 pointer boys.
17 Sep 2006, 08:10 am
Hou nou asb net vir Frikkie Welsch uit die span. Sy kak houding en sportmangees kos ons net punte. Hy is nes Butch…met hulle in span verloor jy gewoonlik. Kyk hoe lyk die BULLE sonder sy kaptein—- baie beter!

Ek is nie ‘n Bul supporter nie, maar stem 100% saam met Ouboet in 609. Ek het nog nie ‘n meer aroganter en winfgat speler as Frikkie op die veld gesien nie. En hy is ‘n k@k speler daarby. Julle sal baie beter doen sonder hom.

Also proofed that Dries is a liability for the Bulls. No place for crash test dummies anymore.

WOW . nie gedink die Bulls gaan die sharks so groot pak gee nie. Bulls baie geluk julle ouens.
17 Sep 2006, 10:09 am
fresh,sure most of your team looks good bro!
17 Sep 2006, 10:13 am
all_stormers, that is a good thing. i would rather have our women being good looking than good at rugby.
17 Sep 2006, 10:20 am
fresh,atlast someone on this site if giving poor sephaka credit! he is a beast and buckled 2 wobblies in the sapce of 5 min!
that ben green horn and the much overathed rodzilla.
would put jp at fullback,the oke cant kick at all and hacks at the ball,sure he has skills but at fullback you need a chap who can boot the ball properly oh and tackle like a demon(unlike monty or jp for that matter)…enter aplon! so what he is 72kg but he tackles well above his weight,can kick off both feet and has vision a guy like frikkie welshman can only dream of.
its strange,people seem to have forgotten about paulse but it was clear for all to see the difference in pattern of play when he replaced ndungane,who has NOT got the wheels for international rugga.
i see you have p.w at 8th man,please dont tell me you mean pedrie wondermountain!?
spies,for sure,he is pure class and would be interesting to see what his play looks like in 3 years or so.schalla on the other flank and juan smith at 8th! watson can act as back up to schalla and diack for smith.spies understudy could be lobberts or melck.
lobberts is a unpolished diamond who has played in 2 winning age group bok team at the under 19 and under 21 world cups respectively.give him time(like keegan daniel at the sharks)
this country is overflowing with cereabral talent,lets no waste it and rather embrace it!
17 Sep 2006, 10:22 am
people are moaning about the lack of depth at flyhalf,why not give ruan a go at the bok spot!
17 Sep 2006, 10:24 am
620- u want bakkies as capt? don’t u have to be wise or inspirational for that?
17 Sep 2006, 10:25 am
MacDaddy did you notice how fast backwards the SA scrum went against New Zealand when Sephaka was on the pitch? moment os came back on scrum rock solid?
I think man Lobberts and Spies and skalk would be an awesome combination in years to come, Paulse pure class.
Guthro steenkamp is a better option to replace OS when he does retire.
17 Sep 2006, 10:29 am
JP is unpolished, that game against Asu HE could have scored that try, instead he dident back himself. Last night he was Aweful.
17 Sep 2006, 10:29 am
wls,no mate that was eddie andrews against the frogs and the all blacks,not sephaka boet.
sure,i forgot(again),guthro!
but dont write off king kong sephaka,its unfortunate that he is one of the clan that has been stuffed around by sa coaches on a reg basis.
even at the stromers(i hang my head in shame) in 1999 when solly was coach.poor sephaka was made to carry tackle bags all day but when rudolf gave him a go in marsielle (when jean broke his arm) he snapped his opposite number in half!
17 Sep 2006, 10:30 am
jp vs aplon…there is no comparison!
17 Sep 2006, 10:31 am
Lol @623, I agree
17 Sep 2006, 10:32 am
i’d have them both in the back 3 macdaddy. a lot of people on this site didn’t watch much of jp before the bok call up,the guy is class
17 Sep 2006, 10:33 am
Give me this bok team any day:
Aplon (JPP – not good under the high ball, kicking is poor, lack of speed)
Habana
JF
JdV(WO had a good game yesterday against a centre pairing who were clueless – I doubt his distribution skills)
Louis Ludick (all round skills – speed, can read the game, solid under a high ball – good cover at the back – can also play fullback)
AP
Ruan
Spies
Juan
Schalk
Pakslae
Bakkies
BJ Botha
Schalk Brits
Os
17 Sep 2006, 10:33 am
lets not forget skinstad(cant believe i have just said that)…in that corne benefit game is was the best player on the field by a country mile.
wp were struggling before he came on and in van straaten kicked over all his conversion and penalties wp woul have won.
…against a team that had roff,finnegan,spencer and the like!
you know what they say though,class is permanent and form is temporary.
17 Sep 2006, 10:35 am
awesome team catfish! maar wie is pakslae?
if only jake and the selectors saw what you and some of us see mate!!!!!!
17 Sep 2006, 10:36 am
Enjoy your comments Pissant and concur with your points. AJ makes such a difference to the Sharks by way of peer respect and leadership and its this time of respect that Gary Botha also commanded in the Bulls. To have Frikke Welsh as a captain on the wing is a recipe for disaster for a forwards driven team.
Heni Adams did the business as did Wynand olivier. Yes Pissant his stint with the Boks has given him confidence and acceptance from his colleagues one suspects.
Pierre Spies…. What can one say. His pace, eye for a gap, ability to know where the ball is going to be was awesome.
Danie Rosseau played a tidy game and linked well with backs and half backs..good stuff.
The Sharks were woeful typified by the no 13′s grasping non tackle on WO on his way for the second try for the Bulls.
This is the Bulls we all know some of us love them the rest fear them. On their day they will put 50 points on any of the teams in the CC and you guys know it.
Noticed “Bashem” so vocal at the start of this thread disappeared so quickly. At least Red Lion put the “Well done Bulls” bit in eventually.
To the Lions. You’ve made great strides this year and will continue to do so but for this year its all a bit late I’m afraid.
Not making any predictions but assuming that the loftus boys can continue this performance I will enjoy watching Watson Province being taken apart by the bulle in the final in a a couple of weeks time….
17 Sep 2006, 10:38 am
and you know,there is a laaitie in the cape…shandre frollick,(fullback)(20) who is as skilled as aplon if not more so,scary stuff!
but catfish your team is a good blend of brute power,skill,vision and abit of pazzazz.
joke,check this ous team out…and weep!
17 Sep 2006, 10:38 am
Pakslae = danie Rossouw
17 Sep 2006, 10:42 am
keepin….sure jp is pure class but is no match for aplon dude.
why not throw the oke on the wing or prehaps give him a go in the centre!
remember monty in carels team?! i think monty’s probby is he has bulked up too much.
in that wp team of 97 he was sublime and prehaps even in the stormers set up in 1999.too much bulk slows a oke down.
17 Sep 2006, 10:44 am
oh sure,HA,mm ive heard that he has giving a few laaities a erm pakslae in the pubs and bars around pretoria but i reckon matfield and bakkies compliment each other perfectly bra.
its strength and power coupled with skill and vision,was at that all black tri nations match at newlands last year,amazing stuff.
17 Sep 2006, 10:45 am
macdaddy, I couldn’t agree with you more, look at Paulse before he bulked up.
17 Sep 2006, 10:48 am
jester,”enjoy watching wp being taken apart by the bulls in the final” ….bwhahahaha thats a new one.
wp have destroyed the bulls twice this season and dont come with this “missing players” story because all provinces in sa have been depleted by so called ‘bok duty players’
17 Sep 2006, 10:50 am
Ja, But I see Watson’s Problems getting klapped by the Lions first, Besides, Problems won’t be in the final.
17 Sep 2006, 10:50 am
A huff and a puff, and the sharks drown in durban.
17 Sep 2006, 10:51 am
541 Hi Dennis
i don’t know which games you have been watching recently, but the Cheetah’s were brilliant against WP, and clinical in Witbank. Sometimes the smaller unions play very negative, and it becomes a bit of a dogfight.
So far I think they are on top of there game, and because Rassie has managed his players well, I think they will be there when it counts
By no means am I saying that they will retain the cup, we all know anything can happen in semi’s and finals. And it is going to be tough for real
17 Sep 2006, 10:51 am
Andy, they obviously needed more than on puff.
17 Sep 2006, 10:52 am
Francoise Steyn was terrible! So was JP, oh, and the rest of the Sharks. Their only good player was Ruan Pienaar.
17 Sep 2006, 10:53 am
i remeber seeing paulse when he was 16years old at a stellenbosch inter provincial sevens tournatment in umm i think it was 1996.
he was lighter than aplon and harry viljoen(soon to be wp coach) told him to hang out at steers for a while to put some vleis on his bones but even breyton has lost some(not all) of his pazzazz.but hey,he made a immediate difference when replacing ndungane though.
andre snyman is another oke,look at him when he was with the bulls in the mid 90′s.he bulked up big time at the sharks the went overseas,joke called him back and where is the guy now?
its a shame because against england at twickers in 97 he scored the winning try
17 Sep 2006, 10:54 am
Bluecap
Watch the Lions this coming saturday. They had a **** game yeaterday – a close call but maybe a good thing before the WP game. Think they will fire on all cilinders.
Watson problems has it coming!!!
17 Sep 2006, 10:55 am
bluecap,neither will te bulls my china!
the lions to klap wp next weekend,HAHAHA
17 Sep 2006, 10:57 am
1-jp……lazi big time lazi 2- Spies-natural footballer(skills,speed,strong,talent better than Big joe and Bobby the jorke Skini)3-Lobberts- strong like a horse tha boy is crazy(he can tackle,run better than J.Erasmus and A.Voss)4-Plus-Bulls pack the outmuscle the shark.The sharky pack(did themselves no favours by trying 2 play the Bulls as their own game.Why not playing away from contact,poor game plan.5- Mulleer is f….. clown
17 Sep 2006, 10:57 am
they aint going to happen either!
17 Sep 2006, 10:57 am
On=one.
Funny how things turn, last week it was the Bulls with their backs to the wall, next week the Sharks have to go to Bloem, I back the Cheetahs on this one.
And the WP have a good chance of losing to the Lions. After next w\e the Bulls could well be 2nd on the log.
17 Sep 2006, 10:58 am
Man this is turning into a cooker Currie Cup, its like a bollywood script ekse…
17 Sep 2006, 10:59 am
i was in cape town manne,those wp laaities whacked those eagles plenty almost racking up 50 before half time and then took there foot off the gas just after the brake!
17 Sep 2006, 10:59 am
Oh and Spies my bru, come play for the Sharks pleeeeeeeeeeeeez
17 Sep 2006, 10:59 am
eva
Any team who ignore Rassie’s ability as a coach do so at their own peril. Cheetahs have the players, the depth and the best coach in SA.
17 Sep 2006, 11:01 am
bulls second erm thats alittle premature dont you think,they have to travel to the kwas next weekend,who almost klopped the lions!
the lions are going to get gutted like a pap snoek!
could you beleev eeeet? beleev eeet becoz its troooooo!
17 Sep 2006, 11:02 am
Definately a Bulls Cheetah’s final. And because the Bulls are playing better away from home, we’ll take the cup back. It is writen, there is no arguing that which is carved in stone.
17 Sep 2006, 11:02 am
bluecap – jy droom pa – wp gaan die lions trap – lions se laaste verloor was teen ons – daarna het hulle lekker julle ander spanne opgedonner.
Ek sal ook wens wp verloor as ek jy is – wp het die bulle se no ou tjom
17 Sep 2006, 11:03 am
jy droom bluecap – julle sien daai beker ni weer vinnig ni
17 Sep 2006, 11:03 am
skabenga,you okes are getting wynand and some other blue moo next season,dont be gready
17 Sep 2006, 11:03 am
Bluecap
The Bulls must be carefull this weekend. They come off a good win, lesser opposition, at kimberley – graveyard of many good teams. This cc season has been full of surprises and it aint over yet. To predict is very dangerous.
17 Sep 2006, 11:04 am
Skabenga (cool name) Spies is like Bakkies, he’ll only play for two teams, The Bulls and the Boks.
17 Sep 2006, 11:04 am
well said bernie! funny is was the oke that kept quite after wp mulleted the blou moos on both occasions
17 Sep 2006, 11:05 am
wp to whack the cubs by 50!
17 Sep 2006, 11:07 am
carved in stone hahahahahaha jeez listen to this oke.
one win against worthy opponents and he reckons the cup is going back to the capital???!
17 Sep 2006, 11:08 am
muppets
Pse ignore #666. Besides not a good number!!
17 Sep 2006, 11:09 am
BERNARD,That “laaste verloor” was very close, and at the beginning of the Lions upturn
Catfish, you’re right eh, these Griquas are strange dudes, one can never underestimate them, I think the Bulls will have their no, though.
From now on the Bulls can only get better, It’s so nice not to have to play with our 6th team for a change.
17 Sep 2006, 11:09 am
oh and bluecap,not if the moolah is right,look at wynand a year ago…”i want to play 100 games for the bulls!” WRONG!
money talks(im afraid)
17 Sep 2006, 11:10 am
6th team puh!?
17 Sep 2006, 11:12 am
we will talk after the last games – rugby is a very funny game… check the lions yesterday, scorring after a few seconds and ending up beating the griekwas by 2… so bluecap u must stress – lions kicked u ; and griekwas almost kicked the lions – we will have a leka chat after next saterday – thats if u will show ur face on this site…
17 Sep 2006, 11:12 am
So this is how the semis are going to pan out,
Cheetah’s play Watson’s problem in Bloem.
Monster Bulls play Lions at Loftus.
Don’t shoot the mesenger guys, it’s just the way it is.
17 Sep 2006, 11:13 am
macdaddy
I’ll tell u what – after yesterday performance by the sharks midfield – eish!!!!! They should take anything they can get – even WO. I dont think its the money that lures him – think he heard that the hairdressers in Durbs are good.
17 Sep 2006, 11:13 am
can just see it,the kwas to donder the dis-illusioned blou moos this coming weekend and that old hag “bushy” to have a heart attack at the sight of the scoreline
17 Sep 2006, 11:15 am
ag shame bluecap – al weer selfde ou ****** kak veskoning – 6de span – sies jou hoender – ecery team had key players out – WP schalk(boks and injured) – joe – schalk britz(injured) – jdv(injured and boks) – ross skeate(injured) – andries bekker(injured) – so whats ur point????!!!!
17 Sep 2006, 11:15 am
Morning Gents,
Being a Wp supporter through and through, I have to give credit to the blou ballas. Played exiting enterprising rugby. Pierre Spies is a special talent. I hope he is managed in a way that will keep him at the top of his game for years to come. Wish he would move to Slaapstad.
17 Sep 2006, 11:16 am
macdaddy @ 667, The Sharks aren’t worthy apponents! Nobody is worthy against the Monster Bulls, Especially now that they’re playing their 2nd team instead of their 6th.
17 Sep 2006, 11:17 am
hahahaha nice one catfish.
yip the sharks deserved a damn good hiding yesterday and it could have been so much worse.
when gary botha boke down the midle and had 4 or 5 ous on his right he chose to go back to the big dudes!?
old wynand does seem to aquire the latest modern quiffs these days but me wonders of he does sign for the sharks will he get booed like monty did(with his white hair and silver boots) when he returns to his old paddock?
17 Sep 2006, 11:18 am
bluecap u sure u gonna be in the semis brue????
not a cheetahs – lions
wp and sharks semis?
Think about it… u can be outa this one
17 Sep 2006, 11:19 am
Sporto
Spies. Im worried that the bulls r going to do to him what they did to P3 and JC. Turn a very mobile looseforward into a 15kg overweight battering ram.
17 Sep 2006, 11:19 am
Mac, what are you talking about bud? WP don’t have any special players, not even injured ones.
17 Sep 2006, 11:19 am
sporto,spies probably will in time to come mate!
sure bluecap,and wp and the lions will come up trumps!
wp/lions final at newlands! javent seen that fixture in a while(early 90′s prehaps?)
when james small and wiese use to play for the jozi boys
17 Sep 2006, 11:21 am
ja bluecap best is 2 ignor me – but i know inside im vreeting on ur nervs – gonna b a bad season – but dont worry u still have the super 14 to get kicked around again
17 Sep 2006, 11:21 am
catfish,i think spies is the master of his own destiny and knows that he is a wanted oke by just about everyother provincial set up in sa.
so…when a oke feels unhappy what does he do,he moves on(ala skinstad with wp and small,dicj and so with the sharks in 97)
17 Sep 2006, 11:22 am
well said bernie.
this bluecap is a whipper snapper from brackpan i think,he tends to operatate with his sidekick JH.
17 Sep 2006, 11:23 am
and next year we have carlos spencer in the stormers squad – he will be a great sight in action – fully in black!!!!
17 Sep 2006, 11:24 am
Mac, keep dreamin old chap, aint gonna appen.
I hope the Cheetah’s have kept the cup nice and clean, it costs the Bulls union a fortune keeping all the silverware clean, and it would be nice if it’s clean when we put it back in it’s rightfull place.
17 Sep 2006, 11:25 am
oh monster bulls,yah you are right…the womens team!
they really give a bad name to the floozy of sa.
dear world…”they are not all that big and ugly..promise!” hahahahahahaha
17 Sep 2006, 11:25 am
Does anyone of u guys know how tall and how much keegan daniel weighs?
17 Sep 2006, 11:26 am
yeah he his – these bulls okes are a joke – thinking their team is the best – and when they lose they use this old – stupid – kak excuse its their 6th team – shame arme Potte Human must be so dissapointed in them

yes bluecap,you are quite right,the bulls will win the curie cup this year…in the womens devision!
even the bulls under 19 and under 21 got monstered by wp!
17 Sep 2006, 11:28 am
bluecap that troffee is standing at newlands – getting cleaned up 4 us this yr – and what ur talking about u spend a fortune on cleaning the silwerware – prob cleaning the empty showcase…
17 Sep 2006, 11:29 am
bernard(672)…cant agree with you more bro.
bluecap and his choms only show there faces when the blou moos scratch up a win.
he certainly wasn’t in here when wp klopped the moos twice…strange??!
17 Sep 2006, 11:29 am
BERNARD, I’m not ignoring you at all bud, It’s just that your post seemed to be one more of hope than being sure.
Look, very strange things happen in this world, any team can win the cc….Just joking!! not gonna happen! The cup is coming home!! I really do hope they’ve kept it clean.
17 Sep 2006, 11:29 am

catfish(690) not too sure how much keegan weighs mate,but he pales in comparison to all other loosies in the comp in the weight stakes as does ryan kancowski but hey it aint about weight but rather about brains!
and keegan has what it takes(give him time though)
17 Sep 2006, 11:34 am
ja its true macdaddy – thats the tipe of supporters they are – only standing by their team when they win – poor bulls team … to have supporters like bluecap must be a bitter pill to get down
17 Sep 2006, 11:34 am
bernie,you sure about that carlos signing?
that would be interesting if he was coming to the cape
17 Sep 2006, 11:35 am
sjoe fresh – please u almost made me fall of my chair with #697 – eish u r pussing ur luck
17 Sep 2006, 11:36 am
hi r.fox 2 munch grass smo…………. is not good bro.
17 Sep 2006, 11:36 am
i also read that carlos was going to the boland, although he would not be available for the stormers for super 14 rugby. i imagine he will first leave at the end of the premiership season in england. thee boland have a lank rich sponsor behind them, exciting things are happening there.
17 Sep 2006, 11:36 am
i saw on tv that there was a story going around that Boland wants to sign him up – then he can play 4 the Stormers
17 Sep 2006, 11:37 am
Bernard, we don’t think the Monster Bulls are the best team….We know they are! Hell, dis lekker om ‘n Monster Bull te wees.
Well, it’s been fun guys, but now I’m off to Oliver Tambo to pick up the chick.
Must say, I didn’t expect to get you all so riled that quickly. But then I must take your nervousness into account.

The French invasion continues with Rob Linde and Sam Gerber the latest to sign for French clubs!!
17 Sep 2006, 11:38 am
i actually heard from a mate in the capital the pote put wp jerseys over all the tackle bags and instructered his players to tackle them until the bags were pap but frikkie welshman and jp nil started to chunk and said “ons kannie oom…asseblief,daai ouens vannie kaap is n rof span”
so they replaced the wp jerseys with shark ones and look what happend!
i honestly thaught the sharks were going to thrash the moos.
17 Sep 2006, 11:38 am
BERNARD, The story said that they wanted to approach him, that’s vastly different from getting him.
17 Sep 2006, 11:39 am

17 Sep 2006, 11:44 am
well weather carlos arrives or not,wp ahve ample talent!
give this naas character abit more time,sure he might not make the boks but who cares!
abit like the aplon situation,we in the cape would rather have him playing for the hoops!
17 Sep 2006, 11:45 am
Mac, actually she’s the hostess, But you’re right.
I’m de man!!!
17 Sep 2006, 11:45 am
get it off your pet sheep bra.after you have mauled the things for a hour or two.
should leave it nice and tenderised,abit the like the bulls will be in the semis against the hoops!
17 Sep 2006, 11:45 am
Pierre Spies could be the highest paid CC player in SA within the next 2 years. Bakkies Botha’s R2 million offer from the Sharks will be pale in comparison to this boy’s earnings.
I hope for his sake he has a good business manager.
If not, I suggest he gets in touch with Jakes or GBS in a hurry!
He should play no 8 (and I wouldn’t be surprised to see he him on the wing later in life when he starts bulking up, a la Lomu.)
My heart says WP, but I think we are looking at a Bulls/Cheetas final again.
17 Sep 2006, 11:46 am
no,she da man and you dee chick bwhahahahaha
or the cleaning lady maybe? take your pick!
17 Sep 2006, 11:48 am

the cheetahs prehaps but not the bulls boet!

You must be the clever one in your family.
You make so much sense.
hahahaahhaah, lol
Good thing you support WP than the Bulls otherwise the Bulls franchise would close down as they would never live down the embarressment.
17 Sep 2006, 12:20 pm
Congratulations to the Bulls for a deserved victory and this comes from a ardent Sharks supporter. We played terribly too many knock ons, our lineouts were a disaster and defensively we were bad. The referee didn’t help matters either he seemed like he was wearing blue yesterday even the commentators mentioned that he did not have a good game. As good a prospect Francois Steyn is yesterday he made 2 mistakes that resulted in tries. Sharks just not good enough on the day and did not play well at all. They are a much better team than what was dished out yesterday.
17 Sep 2006, 12:23 pm

Tell me about it, but what the heck!
The rugby was great and I had a good time chatting with all you guys on this site.
Even old ‘TickleTieties’ and Wallabie gave us a break for a change, so the reason for my drinking was pure enjoyment!

17 Sep 2006, 12:30 pm
Imagine the hiding the Sharks would of received if Matfield and Bakkies were playing.
Sharks were very fortunante to play the Bulls B team.

Bluecap #678
well said, what most of the dummies out there, like macfaddydaddy have got blinkers on as most of the time. Bulls main manne were propping up the ailing boks. So we are nowhere near full CC strength.
Its going to get worse for the other provinces that play the bUlls now. Gary Botha good captain much bette than Frikkie
17 Sep 2006, 12:34 pm
Eish bru, you look blue, smell blue, talk blu and give me the blues… The blou ballies arent demi-gods dude, Spies ja, but the rest mere mortals…

17 Sep 2006, 12:48 pm
yeah and we would have won by a much greater margin if Dock pulled his finger out and put in the much vaunted specialist fetcher Solly T 15 minutes earlier.
Perhaps he knows somwthing Jake White doesn’t know!?
17 Sep 2006, 12:49 pm
I’d like to see Sharks , Bulls, Lions and Cheetahs, the BIG 4… Man I wish i could have been there, just to check Spies, the man is on fire!
17 Sep 2006, 12:50 pm
Sharks to lose to the Cheetahs next week and Lions to pip the Poofters down south.
Lions to make semi’s at Sharks expense.
Pretenders will always remain pretenders.

Lekker bulls.

17 Sep 2006, 13:00 pm
Pepe your post # 729
you are right. The ref and TV ref both had terrible games. The Spies try was legal and Pienaar knocked the ball. So in all probablility the score shoulda been 57-25.
The Sharks are never good in the crunch games and the Bulls thrive on it, look at the S 14. What do you expect though. If the Bulls had players like Russel and Pienaar with no BMT we would have been in the same boat.
17 Sep 2006, 13:01 pm
Skim
Be grateful that it was not the Bulls vs Watson Province yesterday.
75 – 14 would of looked like a fairy tale.
17 Sep 2006, 13:02 pm
Lol, yeah. These province dudes have been crowing about the kak little team for a while now. With the manne back, they might still see the semi’s but no further than that.
17 Sep 2006, 13:03 pm
Is there any news on yesterday injuries?
Ruan did not look good when he walked of the field.
17 Sep 2006, 13:04 pm
Imo he can stay off. Him, James, Pietersen all overrated. We are a bit thin on decent scrumhalves at the moment though.
17 Sep 2006, 13:06 pm
jondood
he has a shoulder injury and there are alot of sharks eina this morning, got the whole list with me
17 Sep 2006, 13:06 pm
No we are not.
Fourie
Ruan
Jano Vermaak
Ricky
Claasens
Bolla
17 Sep 2006, 13:07 pm
ek dog bakkies speel net vir 2 spanne in sy lewe. nou is daar sprake dat hy sharks toe gaan. elke ou het seker maar sy prys.

I think players on both sides are eina but the Sharks did look to be worse off.
No love lost between Lensing and Botha.
You got to wonder if 1.5mil was worth it for Lensing.
17 Sep 2006, 13:09 pm
Fourie is the best of the lot. Vermaak is going to be very good.
Pienaar is inconsistent and no bmt. Ricky, a bit fat. Claasens a good CC 9 and Bolla just plain kak.
Mathie should be Fourie’s understudy.
17 Sep 2006, 13:10 pm
pale_toe
I seriosuly doubt he will move from the Bulls.
Besides why would he want to split from Matfield?
They need to stay together as they make the most complete locks in World Rugby at the moment.
17 Sep 2006, 13:10 pm
jondood
here are the full list:
Barrit – concussion
Pienaar – soulder
Moore – ruptured spleene
James – knee
17 Sep 2006, 13:11 pm
The bulls are thin on decent everything.
17 Sep 2006, 13:11 pm
Moore must have ruptured his spleen when Nel floored him.
17 Sep 2006, 13:12 pm

Yeah we have no moffies in our team.
We leave Watson Province to be decent with that.
sick.
17 Sep 2006, 13:12 pm

his contract only expire the end of next year and by law the sharks are not allowed to make him an offer, bulls and sharks management having a meeting today to solve the isue

“Ek beskou dit as ‘n groot pluimpie. Elke mens werk hard daaraan om ‘n sukses te maak van wat hy doen en om te **** daar is mense wat bereid is om sulke groot bedrae vir jou te betaal, laat ‘n mens goed voel. Ek werk al sedert 2001 daaraan om die beste speler te word wat ek kan wees. Dit bly egter maar ‘n moeilike besluit,” het hy gesê.
Sounds to me like he is thinking about it. and so what if he has a contract to the end of next year. the sharks are probably just testing the waters so to speak. These guys always find some kind of loopholes in their contracts if they have to and have enough money to throw at it.
17 Sep 2006, 13:20 pm
But now I am going to braai and celebrate the win again.
cheers guys

i have been saying the same thing all along, anyone that watched the U21 WC will tell you he is no good at the highest level
17 Sep 2006, 13:25 pm
Yes Jurgens,
It also says that they may only approach players within 120 days of expiration. When this is is not exactly clear. Sharks may just be trying to jump to the front of the queue here.
17 Sep 2006, 13:26 pm
pale_toe
the bulls still must make him an offer.can get interresting
17 Sep 2006, 13:28 pm
Jurgens
Exactly. This is where we fool ourselves with hype. The man is not a top class player. Bevan, Aplon, Roets, Earl Rose are all better. Facts. Sharks take your blinkers off please.
17 Sep 2006, 13:28 pm
Wereld se beste lynstaanspeler ja. Wereld se beste slot in vaste/los… nie heeltemal nie. In daai aspek dink ek Muller en Botha sal meeste spanne ‘n les opse.
17 Sep 2006, 13:30 pm

To be honest with you and this is not because i am a bulls supporter but Roets seem to be the most consistent, not the flashiest but consistant

I will be miffed if Bakkies goes.

Where do the Bokke stand?
After a disappointing Test season the Boks have plenty to think about before the EOYT and a double header against England at Twickenham. Some lost their way, some arrived with a bang and some fizzled away quietly. This is my take on this seasons Boks.
Os du Randt – monumental not only as a player, but also as a leader and inspiration to the younger lads. Os proved he is far from a spent force and must be the cornerstone that the World Cup pack is built on. There is precious little depth at loosehead and Os must be managed carefully.
Lawrence Sephaka – still looking half-baked as game time eludes the strongman from the Lions. Has looked suspect at times in the scrum and one must question if all the effort expended on Lawrence will ever bear fruit. Unfortunately he is fast becoming another failed “quota†selection, but he has shown in the past that he is capable of performing at the highest level and should be able to do so again.
Deon Carstens – not much to be said here for a man that failed to take his lifeline at Bok level. Best left to the Sharks and forgotten as an International prospect.
Eddie Andrews – was monstered time and time again at scrum time. Just not good enough quite frankly and though he has built up good experience is not a realistic option for RWC.
CJ v/d Linde – has recovered well from injury and remains the No.1 contender for the tighthead spot. No doubt he will make his mark in Test rugby and if he continues to work on his game could be a real star for the Boks in future.
BJ Botha – acquitted himself well at Test level and was solid as a rock at scrum time. Together with CJ v/d Linde gives us some hope in the troublesome tighthead department. Approaching his prime time BJ will not doubt make a name for himself in coming seasons.
John Smit – not the captains’ best season, but survived a real test of character this season and is a genuine leader. Will have to up his game if he wants to silence his growing army of critics and the pressure is on the skipper from a number of talented hookers.
Danie Coetzee – can be dispatched back to the UK forthwith and make sure it’s not a return ticket. He had no business being in this squad and offers nothing to the Bok cause, there are at least 4 better than him in the Currie Cup.
Chilliboy Ralepelle – too early for him to mark a mark and we hope that he will be looked after and become the great he seems destined to be.
Johan Muller – made a decent fist of his Test season debut and deputised well for Bakkies and Danie Roussow without making a major impact. He is a solid player that gives his all and won’t let the team down, but lacks the impact of those he replaced. All told a good debut and he put in the hard yards even in difficult times.
Danie Roussow – is developing into a Test class lock and has finally started adding some finesse to his undoubted brute strength. Would have had a far bigger impact had he not been injured, but he seems to have finally “arrived†on the big stage.
Victor Matfield – is the worlds best when he decides to play. He is infuriating in his habit of disappearing when the going gets tough. A super athlete and intelligent player who must step up and accept his responsibility as a truly world-class player that can swing a game for his side. He was in patches outstanding and at times woeful, but a little consistency could raise his game to legend status.
Albert v/d Bergh – will never let the team down and his athletic ability is a real bonus. Adds much experience without really stamping any authority on the game. Getting towards the twilight of his career Albert is a solid back-up player, but fails to add any real value to the line-up.
Pierre Spies – arrived rather quietly on debut as the Boks were massacred, but didn’t he just explode on the home leg. A massive talent that will imprint his name on rugby folklore in future. Versatile and skilled this kid has the potential to be a truly World-class player in the vein of McCaw etc.
Juan Smith – is another immense player that couldn’t show off his wares due to injury. Juan is a great all-round player and has shown good leadership at the Cheetahs. He has improved his decision making and distribution that have been weaknesses in the past.
Pedrie Wannenburg – is another 100% man that does most things well without lighting up the fireworks. Has good vision, but lets himself down with sloppy skills at times. Another player that is not the finished article, but could polish up to be a stalwart.
Jacques Cronje – must be one who played his way down the rankings this season. Looks out of his depth against decent opponents and is more playground bully than Bok hardman.
Joe van Niekerk – is still a superb all-round No.8, but needs to find the fitness and injury free run to regain his best form. There is a healthy competition for loose-forward spots and Joe can’t expect to maintain his place on past glories. Fit and healthy he is a superb player and is another who needs to silence his critics in coming months.
Solly Tiyabilika – the less said the better. No impact what so ever and his form at Provincial level has not merited a Bok call-up. If colour is the question there are a number of better players available and this should be the last season we see Solly in Bok colours, unless he rediscovers some of the form that made his initial impact.
Fourie du Preez – could easily challenge for the MVP award especially on the later half of the season. Still has much to work on, but the basics are there and once under pressure from Pienaar really came good. With some minor tweaks Fourie could establish himself in the No.9 jumper for quite some time. That said there is fierce competition and complacency is to be guarded against.
Ruan Pienaar – is definitely a quality prospect, but it is too early to say how he will affect the International landscape. Some rough edges need to be smoothed, but the lad has natural talent in abundance and the born talent of coming up with that little something special. With the right guidance could eclipse du Preez in years to come.
Enrico Januarie – only he will know why it went so horribly wrong this year. Never looked fit and on his game, he is a good player and will need to work hard on his attitude if he is to return on performance alone.
Andre Pretorious – silenced many critics with the most assured displays from a Bok 10 in many a Test. Injury prone he may be, but Andre is the best 10 in the land period. Has found more consistency with age and has outplayed his rivals easily this season. A welcome return in a troublesome position.
Butch James – not a long-term answer by any means, but a handy back up. Still has areas that need improvement and has not hit the highs of his early explosion on to the season.
Jaco v/d Westhysen – has surely secured himself International retirement. He was woeful and has nothing to offer the Boks. Next Please.
Jacques Fourie – was a standout player that proved he is undoubtedly world-class. Easily the Boks best linebreaker and a deadly defender, there is no doubting his position as one of our best backs.
Wynand Olivier – a good debut season and proved his worth as decent cover at 12 or 13. He is another youngster that will only get better and adds huge depth in the midfield.
Jean de Villiers – perhaps not as great as the early hype, but he is a class player and the Boks just look better with him at 12. Super distribution and good decision-making offer much value, but defence at all levels has been hot and cold this year.
Bryan Habana – a rollercoaster year for Habanero, but really got stuck in towards the end of the season. He is a star and adds huge value to the Bok line-up. Would like to see him get more ball and cut his error rate somewhat.
Breyton Paulse – adds massive experience and is a player that has continuously had to silence his critics. He is a class player and despite his lack of size adds huge attacking threat and is solid if not spectacular in defence. Given a break by his critics and more game time could make the 14 jersey his.
Akona Ndungane – gave his best, but was never really comfortable at this level. No real attacking threat and suspect in defence at times Akona has neither played his way in or out and has much to work on if he is to stay in the Bok frame.
Percy Montgommery – the tried and tested journeyman may give little away, but equally offers little on attack. His best years behind him Percy offers a wealth of experience and a solid option in the 15 jumper. May rekindle his best form with a break and stop his current slide of form.
JP Pietersen – has many miles to go before he can be considered an International 15. The kid has talent, but did not leave one feeling he was going to make a name at the highest level. Did well on debut without really exciting and there is huge room for improvement from the youngster.

Rasta good article – getting to know your blokes in the boks.

Here are a few players to note which I thought were good or look like they are the goods for future.
De villiers
Wynand
Fourie – exceptional (world xv)
Pretorius – made you guys look dangerous
Spies
Habana – indifferent season but bloody dangerous (i think he is the fastest in the world over 30m)

#746 but didn’t WP beat the Bulls in both their CC matches this year???
23 – 12 & 10 – 15
Therefore based on your reasoning, Jondood of basic maths……WP beat Bulls (twice), Sharks beat WP (twice @ 16-6 & 25-28), Bulls vs Sharks draw (1-1), therefore, Sharks better than Bulls…lol
But this is typical of a Bull supporter, they won one game and then they think that have won the CC final…Come back to reality chaps your are forth on the log and you are most probably the only team in the top 4 who still needs to win both their remaining matches to ensure a spot in the semi’s !!!!
My prediction as mentioned before
Semi 1 @ Cheetahs vs Bulls
Semi 2 @ Sharks vs WP
Sorry Lions, I would have like for you to make if, but you came around just a bit too late….

Basic Mathematics goes out the door.
When everything is determined by the scriblings on a napkin the world seems to swirl away in a senseless mix of obscurity and stressful movie productions.

I did and all I can say is that I am only reinforcing your view and reviewing your concept of basic maths, but then again somebody is sleeping….lol
At this stage the Bulls is still currently forth on the log and can you imagine a possible semi’s without the so-called pride of the nation…lol
At the end of next weekend the Sharks might just be on top of the log……. But lets rather wait and see…..
17 Sep 2006, 17:55 pm
now that is interesting: is bulls plural, or singular? The s at the end of the word asserts that it is plural, however the bulls refers to 1 certain rugby team. There are however many players on a rugby team, which would be plural again. hmmmm. ‘the bulls is’ sounds somewhat clumsy…i dont no!

Sharks offer Bakkies mega-deal
17/09/2006 16:19 – (SA)
Durban – The Sharks are set to poach three of the Bulls most valuable players.
According to keo.co.za, Bakkies Botha, Wynand Olivier and Bryan Habana are being targeted by the KwaZulu-Natal Rugby Union.
The Sharks are prepared to pay Botha R500 000 to play for them in the Super 14 next season, which would see the lock earn R2m next season – the most by a South African rugby player.
Olivier has been offered a R950 000 contract by the Sharks, which is more than the Bulls’ best paid player, Victor Matfield.
Finally, the Sharks are prepared to pay Habana R1.35m to swap his blue jersey for a black and white one.
The Sharks “poaching” follows the signing of former Bulls prop Kees Lensing, who is currently being paid R1.3m a year for playing his rugby in Durban.
Well no fine…
17 Sep 2006, 18:05 pm
oops, din’t read the entire news article there…
17 Sep 2006, 18:21 pm
Habana is ordinary. He has faded dramatically. R1.35 million won’t make you buy the Cup. Check out some of your prospects coming out of Westville High School etc.
17 Sep 2006, 19:47 pm
Jinx,Habana would be a welcome adition to the Sharks B side.
17 Sep 2006, 19:49 pm
Why the hell is the October edition of SA Rugby mag not out yet?!
17 Sep 2006, 20:11 pm
how much are habana,olivier and botha getting paid in pretoria?
17 Sep 2006, 20:31 pm
**** Chelsea beat my team Liverpool today 1-0. Eish…we had most the play. Cruel,cruel,cruel.
Oooops, on the wrong blog???
17 Sep 2006, 20:37 pm
ha ha jinx, my side gave your team carrots!! with only 10 men
17 Sep 2006, 21:29 pm
Everything I predicted came true….
Sharks centre sucked…..was actually surprised how Waylon sucked….expected it from Barit…
Did anybody notice how Barrit and Waylon swapped places on defense….
17 Sep 2006, 21:32 pm
JP Pieterson played terrible in a big game again…..
He is truly worse than Percy under the high ball and he is never in position…
He is the worst reader of the game, he couldn’t read a game even if it was in brail…
17 Sep 2006, 21:36 pm
yeah hmmm just remeber what u say now! jp is gonna really become something special,he has the right build,vision and pace
17 Sep 2006, 21:38 pm
- i agree though that he didn’t have a great game,murray and the shark flyhalves were poor,heini did very well for the bulls and spies was a monster following up those up and unders
17 Sep 2006, 21:47 pm
keepin…..
I am not really a JP fan and I have been saying the same thing over and over…
He has never played well in a big game….he is always out of position and has no vision…..
He is slow…..seems to be to heavy from is own strength to be good under a high ball…
No special power or anything to show…..
Not saying he cannot improve….alla Percy…but the player he currently is he does not even deserve to be in the starting side for the Sharks…
17 Sep 2006, 21:49 pm
And I am not a Britney Barrit fan on attack….but he usually is solid on defence (when he gets there cozz in my opinion he is a bit slow)….
17 Sep 2006, 21:51 pm
Waylon surprised me….
He showed such streangth against WP…but Olivier just had no problem tackling him back or beating him on attack….
17 Sep 2006, 21:54 pm
And the Sharks back 3 as a whole was very poor….
JP was never in position….the few times he was he was either beaten to the ball in the air (even by little Adams) or just plain lost it….
And Odwa and Ad provided no support….
17 Sep 2006, 21:58 pm
And I thought it was gonna be square at the break down (saying however that Spies and P3 are gonna be a hand full at breakdown)…….however I never expected them to completely run riot with the Sharks trio…..
Even when Solly came on…he ran around frantically with absolutely no effect….
He bashed and bashed but nobody budged….I mean…some of the centers have more effect when cleaning in the rucks…he surely cannot be so physically inept…
17 Sep 2006, 22:00 pm
Rossouw just carried on with his form he displayed for the Bokke….but I really expected the Sharks tight 5 to dominate…..and they didn’t really….
17 Sep 2006, 23:00 pm
Is there any news on Ruan Pienaar??
17 Sep 2006, 23:13 pm
Fresh – 819
Your dreamteam is very far north orientated. Saying January on form is like saying joost on form. He is not. Its like Jake picking Percy and Snyman. Atleast he was wise enough to realise January was offform.
Rossouw at no8….first choice ?
I do like some of those runners though and think Basson should be ahead of Roets……he was ok in a game where Bulls dominated. i believe we would have seen more from Basson.
18 Sep 2006, 07:37 am
WAAR IS AL DIE GROOTBEK GUPPIES VANDAG?….HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! DIE CURRY CUP KOM TERUG BLOU LAND TOE!!!!!
18 Sep 2006, 08:59 am
fresh,
Dream team????
No Os???
Dlulane and Lobberts at 6/7 is like picking AJ and Juan at 6/7 and both of them are better than your selection….
Then your backline…..I agree on Januarie when on form…but Steyn????and Jacobs at 12???????????????? and then you have Delport (only if Tinus Delport I can almost understand not necessarily agree)…..Ettienne at 13???and Habana in a dream team (he is not even in the top 10 best wings since readmission)…..
Your def smoked……smoking some rotten weed there fresh…..

JD (820)
Good team, following comments:
1. replace rossouw with SPIES on starting 15! can’t deny his brilliance and energy all-game long
2. AGREE with RUSSEL on 10, why they haven’t tried that yet is absurd
3. I would still start with Du Preez on 9 and sub Pienaar 2/3 through
4. Chavanga? I dunno…maybe rather Aplon on wing and JOHAN ROETS on fullback
5. Bolla should get off the bench and back into the Cape flats
6. Replace Bolla’s spot on bench with Wynand Olivier
7. Kabamba Floors as impact flanker
that’s just my humble opinion…but i think it’s a darn good one
later…
18 Sep 2006, 09:07 am
856 in reply to fresh 819…..????????
18 Sep 2006, 09:12 am
PRS…
Straulie played Russell at 10…..he scored 1/2 good tries but his defence and kicking let him down…..
His best game there was against Aus at Ellis Park, which was also one of his bad games as he made just as many def and kicking hick-ups and we were trailing close to the end after leading by quite a few (not saying all his fault)…..we just one after a Joost pop to Greeff that Greeff had to convert to put us ahead…..
18 Sep 2006, 09:23 am
Hmmm…
given, but yah that’s an ideal team meaning in the faith that they will be the best at the time of RWC selection hehe
at the moment have to go with Pretorius…no real competition at this stage. Also consider Brent’s not really getting a lot of game time. but yeah maybe I just like him a lot cause he’s a showstopper when he really gets going.
point is, we need to get a flyhalf that can match Carter, Larkham and Wilkinson in gameplay and brilliance. SA hasn’t produced one since return from isolation. Even mighty Joel was not on that level. Nearest was LEM. I just think that maybe, just maybe, Russel can be honed into that…
18 Sep 2006, 10:44 am
Kom manne, praat met ons.
Die Bulle luister….
18 Sep 2006, 12:41 pm
Hmmm 12-ettiene botha 13-jacobs. better? both of them have the killer instict with basson at 15,spies at 6 and with dlulane, lobberts power….. Dream team
18 Sep 2006, 13:51 pm
Brad Barritt was anonymous and Waylon Murray really let the team down.
I think francois Steyn just has the look of a flyhalf about him. Saturday was his real introduction to pro rugby. He let in two tries, costing his team a lot of points and maybe even the match itself. But credit to **** Muir for playing him. I suspect the whole team will bounce back. As for Butch James, what a cr*p player. Its symptomatic of the problems going on at the Boks that he can be selected by Jake to play Test rugby.
