Injuries rock Cheetahs
7 Oct 2006
The Cheetahs’ semi-final victory against the Sharks was marred by injuries to three key players.
Flyhalf Willem de Waal, centre JW Jonker and wing Gavin Passons all left the field injured and could miss the final against the Bulls.
“They all have a 50/50 chance of playing next weekend,” said coach Rassie Erasmus. “Losing them today disrupted our backline quite a lot and that’s probably why we had such a tough second half.”
Erasmus has able replacements in Meyer Bosman, Gaffie du Toit and Eddie Fredericks, but will be hoping for as little disruption as possible to his starting XV.
The Cheetahs will meet the Bulls in a Currie Cup final for the third consecutive season, and Erasmus is expecting another brutal clash.
“The Bulls are firing at the right time and we won’t be able to relax against them [like we did in the second half today],” he said. “We haven’t really thought about what surprises we’ll have in store for them – the preparation will only start tomorrow [Sunday].”
Cheetahs captain Ollie le Roux said home ground advantage would play a major role next weekend.
“We’ll have a sea of orange flags here for the final, which will give us a huge boost,” he said. “It’s great to be in the final and we’re 80 minutes away from another Currie Cup title. This is what you play for … the chance to showcase your talents in a big game in front of the whole country.”
Meanwhile, Sharks captain Warren Britz was at a loss to explain his side’s eighth consecutive defeat to the Cheetahs.
“If I knew what was wrong, then we wouldn’t have lost today,” he said. “The Cheetahs are a very good, structured side. We were half asleep in the first half and to trail 24-0 was devastating.”

i think not having willem against the bulls will be a blessing for the cheetahs, take a look at what dries did to him last week
7 Oct 2006, 19:31 pm
Congrats! Cheetah’s on your win.
J.C.FORTUIN AND LINSTON MANUELS YOU ARE A BUNCH OF CHEATS, YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO DO THE JOBS YOU ARE DOING!
But I suppose this is our wonderful New South Africa where being mediocre and useless will always see your types f—–g up good games of rugby. Show me a team that can come back after being blown up continuously for 20 minutes for every imagined infringement sucked from those 2 arseholes thumbs (Smiling linston and all) and funny we did not hear from the other touch judge all game YOU Two ARE a DISGRACE!
Campo was right the referees in this country are plain ****. J.C. Fortuin 7th best ref and yet Tappa must sit TMO. Fortuin and Manuels please **** off to another country and ruin their rugby, S.A. really does not need you!
7 Oct 2006, 19:50 pm
#3 I would probably have said the same thing if the Cheetahs lost today.
7 Oct 2006, 19:53 pm
wow rebcraig u didnt take that loss very well. as a wp supporter backing the sharks because of the better style they play, i was amazed to watch the cheetahs run the ball at almost every opportunity and the sharks using brad barrit as a crash ball centre. not once was their a purposeful line movement by the sharks. and ackerman deserved to get sent off, whilst jp also came in with a late charge on burger. as disappointing as it is, pls dont make race a part of this. what this country doesnt need is people like you, who would obviously rather have 80% of the population as slaves to your perfect white culture. shame on you. the sharks were second best, the referee’s were fine.
7 Oct 2006, 19:55 pm
Well done my Cheetah brothers … guys do not fall for Simons spin, farms boys do not get hurt that easily. Look at Kabamba … he was bleeding badly from the head but he is ok he can afford to lose a lot of blood because I think that he has extra blood up there due to a smaller brain.
7 Oct 2006, 19:55 pm
Gonna make it short * sweet (see the other Cheetahs-Sharks thread for longer version):
Sharks were outplayed by the better team on the day. Cheetahs were determined, polished & DISCIPLINED – the exact opposite of the Sharks!
**** needs to stop with the “mind games”.
Hope you can carry your 1st half perfomance over to the final!
7 Oct 2006, 19:56 pm
rebcraig you are a sour **** your attack on the two match officials is racially based. get a grip the better team won on the day. Ask most rugby fans they’ll tell you that Tappe is not a good ref him self think back to the bok game against the world 15
7 Oct 2006, 19:58 pm
rebcraig jou suurgat moer! erken maar die Sharks was eenvoudig net nie goed genoeg nie.
7 Oct 2006, 19:58 pm
Oooo – just read Ziyaad’s comment at 5.
Have to disagree, JC Fortuin was not fine. He is a plonker who loves the sound of his own voice & tried to conduct the game – & its an embarrassment that he’s one of our “very top referees”.
BUT he was not the reason the Sharks lost. That was due to playing aa better team (at least on the day) & their OWN POOR DISCIPLINE (as a Sharks fan, the latter was embarrassing)!!!
7 Oct 2006, 20:01 pm
ziyaad what do mean Sharks “better style of play”?
Cheetahs out played every team this year in the CC with great 15 man rugby, with great vision and versatilty to adhjust their game plan continiously to outplay the wittless Sharks and WP.
7 Oct 2006, 20:06 pm
come now, the cheetahs havent been playing a better style of rugby to the sharks. today they did, last week they did, but for the majority of the cc, they’ve relied heavily of their rolling maul, willem de waal’s boot and 1st phase moves. the sharks ability to score from deep within their own half is something of talent, flair and instinct, something lacking in the majority of the cheetahs players, bar kabamba floors and philip burger.
7 Oct 2006, 20:08 pm
ya ok jc fortuin wasnt great, but rebcraigs comments were too harsh. i think he was quite heavily persuaded by the cheering and jeering of the crowd.

Perhaps not the Bulls last weekend, but I still agree. They are blessed in that they are able to adjust game plans effortlessly & without panic. Bravo (from a Sharks fan swallowing their pride).
I hope they manage to avenge last week’s defeat next weekend. It should be a humdinger.
7 Oct 2006, 20:16 pm
Hey Ziyaad whats with the racial thing? I did not mention race once. So get the chip off your shoulder! Look around you and see what S.A. supporters have stooped down to. Hell we win now and again against top teams and then we are satisfied and heap the praises. When last has our cricket, rugby, soccer???? been anything but mediocre. Then again our beloved President Mbeki did say that winning is not everything! See what I mean, being mediocre is fine in S.A.
7 Oct 2006, 20:25 pm
What a cracker!! The sharks were simply outfoxed, they were expecting a kicking game, and the Cheetah’s came out running.
The sharks discipline let them down badly. i think the Cheetah’s have heaped smelly vrot eggs on Campo’s head. if that isn’t creative, and flowing rugby, then I would love to see what is!!
maybe not every game, nbut they have overall, played the most attractive rugby, whilst still playing winning rugby. And therein lie’s the difference. the Cheetah’s ability to be able to switch styles almost at will
It is going to be a humdinger of a final
The free State, are going to put the gate money to good use, and be more formidable next year
YEAHHHHH!!! Cheetah’s and DJ Rassie
7 Oct 2006, 20:26 pm
Gaan n taaie wees,maar states sal dit maak, versteekseker.
7 Oct 2006, 20:30 pm
Quinny,
I have to disagree to your comment on 14, the Cheatus havent beaten the Bulls once this year.
So yeah they are good but to say outplay, thats a strong word.
7 Oct 2006, 20:31 pm

Sorry Spinnaker. Forgot Round 1 result, & was just referring to Currie Cup. Hey, at least pointed out last week’s result in Dooster’s original post! Those were his words. I also took exception, as Sharks outplayed them in 1st half of Durban game ….
7 Oct 2006, 20:44 pm
Bullshit!
Hulle is almal beseer soos Barend die naweek was…
JW Jonker miskien…
7 Oct 2006, 20:50 pm
What’s wrong “Willie” Wilfred ole pal Truth hurts does’nt it? I take it you must be one of those “mediocre” boys. As for stupid Ha,Ha,Ha,Ha!
7 Oct 2006, 20:59 pm
Sorry rebcraig, but you were being a bit of a bad loser old chap!!
The sharks were their own worst enemy. The bulls also tried to distract the cheetah’s by using off the ball tactics, and it backfired (l/yr’s final)
maybe if the Sharks tried to actyally play rugby from the 1st second the game wouldn’t have been over bar the shouting at half time,
true that Quinny which was also the case last year. The cheetah’s haven’t beaten the bulls, and once again anything can haapen in the final
Only the Cheetah’s have a chance of stopping a very good bulls team. Home advantage, and the Rassie factor might do it
Rassie was tactictly very astute once again!
All the comments of the Cheetah’s being over rated, boring and being so lucky to win the CC, are being sent back to the little guys with bells on it
Eigth consecutive semi – final, and third consecutive final.
The Cheetah’s are coming of age, and the money earned at the gates will be most welcome!!
7 Oct 2006, 21:01 pm
recgraig its a good thing mediocre is OK in SA. Otherwise you would have been out of a job.
7 Oct 2006, 21:03 pm
well done cheetahs you have indeed come of age.
7 Oct 2006, 21:08 pm
So rebcraig your team lost and in true saffa fashion you blame the ref who happen to be black. Your supposedly clean rugby team had some call against them but all in all you gave a horrible account of yourselves in the discipline stakes and I bet a foreign ‘white-non-mediocre?’ ref would have punished you far more, like a yellow card against Botes for pulling Floors etc.
7 Oct 2006, 21:11 pm
Cheetahs het goed gespeel en dit gaan ‘n great finaal wees. Go Bulle.
Het julle gehoor toe Tappe vir JC Fortuin Shawn genoem het? Belaglik!
7 Oct 2006, 21:17 pm
Shieldstheband ole chap, ole ****, luckily my job does not allow for mediocrity but it must be tough in your unemployed shoes hey? however if you are permanently employed, well I rest my case!
7 Oct 2006, 21:18 pm
spies is good but i think floors is a better player.
spies look better because of his height.
always rated k.daniels but floors outplayed him.
cheaters lost to bulls twice but overall cheaters were better this season.
as a w.p. supporter i will shout for frystaaaaaat.
7 Oct 2006, 21:23 pm
Hehe rebcraig I dont define myself by the work that I do, moreso by my contribtution to family and country. Trust me there are some very hard-working, progressive South Africans out there. You choose to generalise over an entire country because you are pissed off at 1 individual who alledgedly made your precious team lose. How sad and regressive is that? The whole ‘blaming the ref’ mantra is as mediocre as rugby post-match analysis get?
7 Oct 2006, 21:28 pm
wilfred
ka’MAMBA should be a permanent fixture in green 22
i will play the bok back row
7 smith
6 baywatch
8 spies
7 Oct 2006, 21:31 pm
OO you bullocks. You tirned me on to Ernst Joubert ’cause you kept on picking him in your bok teams. Now you change? Eish…
7 Oct 2006, 21:35 pm
shields
It’s called a short attention span.
7 Oct 2006, 21:39 pm
shields- my teams is based on the players that is playing and whom i am rating at that moment as the best in the position
i rate ersnt joubert highly- and as a unit- the lions backrow of joubert vheerden and baywatch was the pick of the cc 2006.
spies however is brilliant since returnong from the bok
he is brilliant
7 Oct 2006, 21:40 pm
there should be a 3rd and 4th play-off on Friday
7 Oct 2006, 21:57 pm
# ziyaad, your a f….g racist. who the hell are you to make such sarcastic unasked-for remarks bout whites. pls dont ever come back to this site again you idiot.
7 Oct 2006, 22:18 pm
Ag Pieter its just his opinion. Why you go all rock-spider if someone has an opinion that differs from yours? Do you control or own the site? How can you decide who can be here or not? Superiority complex kicking in is it?
7 Oct 2006, 22:22 pm
well i re-direct my comments at people like u pieter. r u by any chance a relative of verwoerd. jokes, im not even gonna bother getting into a war of words with someone like you. im not rascist in any way, i just get soo upset with people who hate the new south africa, because that shows how threatened they feel to actually live in a country where there is equality. take a look at urself. and i will spk my mind if i want to and you should shut the hell up. i dont hold any grudges against white people for starters, despite the fact the horrors of apartheid, yet u r willing to call me rascist for making a slightly sarcastic remark about someone insulting the new south africa?! how dare you.
7 Oct 2006, 22:24 pm
The moment you critisise anybody not white in SA, it a racial thing. Are we ever going to grow up. The ref and Linesman was poor today. I bet you the local newspapers wil agree, read The Sunday times, i love SIMNIKIWE XABANISA he is a good journalist and i bet he wil have something similar to say, just hope he covers the Sharks game.
what amazes me the whole week wilfred and shieldstheband was missing but the moment something with a race undertone apears , viola here they are almost like…
7 Oct 2006, 22:26 pm
I thought the refereeing in the Cheetahs game was better than the Bulls-Wp one. Jonker missed many offside infringements by the Bulls, and two WP tries were forward passes. Rebcraig is a racial bigot, and he knows it. In fact, he revels in it.
7 Oct 2006, 22:31 pm
superBul, critising based on evidence is ok, in fact it is good, but as soon as you make the type of remarks of post #3, then surely u gotta stand up and say thats wrong? and there is definetely a perception in this country where non-white players are quota selections until they can prove otherwise… even i feel that way. i felt kinda surprised gavin passens scored two tries, because i assumed he was merely a quota. nevertheless, everyday is better than the last, and one day hopefully we will be rid of this rascial tension.
7 Oct 2006, 22:31 pm
Fortuin should have yellow carded Botes for holding on to Floors. Apart from that he had a fine game.
7 Oct 2006, 22:32 pm
RebCraig,
What you need to do is learn to count to 1000.
Very often, I feel the same way that you felt when you penned that poinson. If you wrote your comment tomorrow, you would probably find a more diplomatic way of expressing yourself.
The trouble is that no one wants to listen to you simply because of how you said it.
7 Oct 2006, 22:34 pm
hear hear ziyaad. you are a wp fan. I wont hold that against you even though it goes against human logic. Apart from that I respect you and your posts.
7 Oct 2006, 22:37 pm
The last time that Ollie was in a Currie Cup final for the Cheetahs in Bloem, he was nat agte die ore. I remember he shaved OVS into the back of his head (His hair was a little shorter then)
Free State had to play that game at Springbok Park Cricket Stadium because of renovations being made to the rugby stadium.
They lost to the Lions that day. Hopefully that is a piece of history that will remain there.

7 Oct 2006, 23:18 pm
nogal ironic cheetas en bulle alweer in die finals, almal het gedink bulle gaan wen laas jaar by loftus nes meeste van julle dink seker cheetas gaan wen by bloemfontein. cheetas gaan dalk die final by hulle he maar die trophee gaan terug pertoria toe. Cheetas het nog nie die jaar die bulle gewen nie in super 14 of currie cup nie en ek is seker dit gaan ok nie die naweek gebeur nie. moet my nie verkeerd kry nie cheetas is ‘n goeie span maar bulle is in ‘n liega van hulle uie en met die speelers wat ons kry vir volgende jaar kry gaan ons nog sterker maak
7 Oct 2006, 23:22 pm
So what, laas jaar het die Cheetah’s ook nie gewen nie, en kyk waar staan die trofee, maar ons like dit, as julle so vol self vertroue finals toe gaan. alles wat voor saterdag 14 oktober gebeur het tel niks.
moet tog net nie weer vir ons vertel, hoe gelukkig die Cheetah’s was nie. in a final kan enigiets gebeur.
Die cheetah’s is ‘n baie goeie span, and die bulle ook. Rassie is ‘n uitgeslape afrigter. En waneer laas het die bulle ‘n final weg gespeel. Vra maar net!!
7 Oct 2006, 23:53 pm
eva jy was toe verkeerd die Bulle het jou verkeerd bewys
Die mooiste drie van die naweek behoort toe aan die boring Bulle en wat se jy daarvan dat ons 5 driee teen die WP gedruk het, en moenie lelik wees nie almal was goeie driee.
7 Oct 2006, 23:56 pm
Net een ding vir alle Cheetah ondersteuners hoop nie een van jul beserings is ernstig nie, hoop almal kan Saterdag speel.
Ons wil nie he julle moet agterna verskonnings he nie(tong in die kies)
Geniet julle dag ek sal nie more praat nie wil bietjie Kruger wiltuin toe gaan

8 Oct 2006, 00:03 am
Well done Cheetah’s on your win, I look forward to going to Bloem and having a jol.
8 Oct 2006, 00:07 am
Cheetahs are big favourites
8 Oct 2006, 00:17 am
wp_boytjie, of course they are, just like Province were this week.
8 Oct 2006, 01:33 am
Whoopie! Made it again and at home this time. Well if it is the best two teams in the final, then the Bulls are the form team of the two.
But hey, you have to be in it to win it and at worst it is a 50/50 chance.
Go the Cheetahs and lets hope for a great final.
8 Oct 2006, 06:18 am
Hmmm,
Must say that I wonder what would have happened in this match if it was played before the WP/Bulls match.
The way Fortuin blew the Sharks out of the match in the first half seems to reek somewhat of bitterness. After all, the Cheetahs are the rest of the countries ‘second team’ and guess that the WP match trio were not exceptions to this.
Listened on RSG and all the comentators could say was “Penalty Cheetahs” – no explanation given by Fortuin or anything that the commentators could add either. They were even dumbfounded at some of Fortuin’s decisions – and one knows who they were supporting!
Congrats to the Cheetahs for your win, not holding anything against you guys just do us proud.
8 Oct 2006, 07:19 am
Well done cheetahs, you played a much better game and never allowed the sharks any room.
But I must comment on the referee – it was at times appalling to watch and an embarrassment to SA. I just know that JC will never be able to referee an international match – he has to get past the international referee approval system and fortunately they do not make allowance for AA and below mediocre performance. SA needs to very cautious about how they run this program as it may end up affecting our game in the end.
However you cannot blame the cheetahs as they, like any team, will according to the way the referee blows on the day – unfortunately the sharks did not!
8 Oct 2006, 07:42 am
Rassie looks like a pervert on the rooftop.. i thought he was gonna jump when Cheetahs lose… or Helgard had to take the fall for him..

It’s funny that both teams that were discribed as one dimensional are in the final!
8 Oct 2006, 09:23 am
I must say that I was dissapointed with the off the ball play by the Sharks. Expected a lot more!

The best one dimensional try was the HOTTie witwarm sn. Ek het al baie oor HM se aankope gewonder maar weereens soos met Warren Bros was hy spoton.

Jy weet mos hoe gaan dit in rugby, soms loop als net reg. Ek dink gister se eerste helfte was iets wat ons nie gou weer sal sien nie. Ek kan nie sien dat die Bulle byvoorbeeld 24-0 teen hulle sal he in die eerste 30-minute nie.
Trouens, ek dink die Bul gaan die Cheetahs oorrompel daai eerste 30 minute.
Hoekom?
Cheetahs gaan nie dieselfde balbesit he nie.

Where the hell did that bit of crassness come from?
The one thing I didn’t say last week was that the Bulls were one dimensional. In fact I reckoned they were looking dangerous and should win.
I did complain about the thuggish tactics of Lobberts and JP Nel which was not something I was alone in.
What happened, did you get your ***** caught in your zip this morning?

my team is in the finals..thats what happpened
8 Oct 2006, 10:15 am
Luke het nie n bad game gehad nie. Jurgens wat rook jy of drink jy nogsteeds?
8 Oct 2006, 10:17 am
The Bulls are in the finals because they are allowed to play of the ball. Yesterday the ref told them to stop and that he wasn’t going to talk to them again, guess what the incompetant fool had to talk to the Bulls three more times!!!

I hate to think how you’d react if they weren’t.
8 Oct 2006, 10:21 am
Nie eers n Bulls wen sal my oortuig dat hulle dit verdien nie, al wen hulle ook met 1000 punte, hulle suig en sal altyd suig. Hulle IS eendimensioneel en hulle ly aan tonnelvisie.
Ek sou ook seker vir die Bulle kon skreeu, maar die bekrek en breinkrimp opperasie is nie die geld werd nie.

Re David
I remember us complaining about the “thuggery” of Lobberts and JP, and I also recollect David being a little bit too complimentary, to my liking, about the Bulls being the “in” team at the moment! I don’t recall him talking about you guys being one-dimentional.
You are not perhaps confusing him with ‘DavidS’.

What a kak, vrot, blou, blatjang, peri peri peper pO#s of a ref, fortuin should be hung drawn and quartered, along with his liitle flag carrying buddy. Sorry kids and ladies but the ref was an inept moron.
As for the Cheetahs well played, superb ruggers and I think the Cheetahs are going to go a notch up and be unbeatable next weekend…

Morning all, the game was won in the first 20 mins like me and Quinny predicted… rebcraig, stop whinging – you were totally outplayed
8 Oct 2006, 10:34 am

I agree too. Cheetahs will win next week.
CHEEEEEEETAAAAAAAAAHS!!!!!!!

8 Oct 2006, 10:57 am
The sharks was outplayed by the ref and touch judge. Those tries cheatahs scored so freely was forward. I really feel for you sharkies. Its never nice to lose a game where the ref and touch judge wanna steal the show.
I had a good laugh at the wp supporter that chucked his wp jersey away. Come guys your team didnt play poorly … its just Bulls played better cos there springboks back in the team.
Revenge will belong to the Bulls!!

8 Oct 2006, 11:04 am
I hear that Rassies lights has nothing to do with the game. Apparently they are there for the afterparty, you Bloem guys must think that it is a real treat to have a jol with lights and all!!!
8 Oct 2006, 11:05 am
to those that didn’t see the game:
the cheetahs outplayed the sharks in the first 35 minutes of the game. the sharks wasn’t worthy to be on the same field of play in those first 35 minutes. the cheetahs protected their ball incredibly well. they cleaned out the rucks with deadly precision and that frustrated the sharks in using all kinds of off the ball tactics. they got what they deserved from jc fortuin.
if you were listening on rsg, you would probably think the cheetahs weren’t in the game in the second half. the fact is that the sharks threw the ball aroung alot, but with no effect. the fact that they scored their only try in the second half from a 13-man lineout speaks for itself. they couldn’t breach the cheetahs’ defence and just don’t have the same class as the cheetahs.
when willem and ollie went off, the cheetahs did lose some of their rythm.
in retrospect, i think it was a very good thing that the cheetahs played two tougher games leading into the play-offs. they murdered the sharks in the first half and the sharks looked like rabbits caught in headlights; they just didn’t know what hit them.
8 Oct 2006, 11:09 am
drunkm
to some of the sad sore loser shark supporters your comments would make sense, but to the millions of rugby followers that saw the game, it’s just brainless rubbish. are you sure you saw the game?
8 Oct 2006, 11:10 am
Drunkmonkey
What Springboks? There were only 3 in Spies, Ndugane and Olivier. Olivier didn’t make any impression other than on the ref and Spies is still too new to the Boks to be considered a returning Bok.
WP were disorganised with more enthusiasm than structure and the Bulls throttled our backline.
I hope we learnt a few lessons in defeat.
8 Oct 2006, 11:10 am
To the Bulls management, team and supporters who are you getting to officiate this weekend?
Here is an idea, why don’t you get Mills “lets get it on” Lane, that way all that punching and of the ball stuff can get you some points too!!
The touch judges should be Steve Hofmeyer (in a Bulls babe outfit) and Marius Jonker.
8 Oct 2006, 11:10 am
GCC, you actually give a better report of the game than all the Sunday morning newspapers in SA. Sweet and short and very to the point – well said.
8 Oct 2006, 11:15 am

8 Oct 2006, 11:19 am
If AJ doesn’t sign a new contract with the Sharks for the S14 I reckon they’re in major trouble. They are the one franchise who don’t have a smaller union partner to draw on. The Sharks CC squad is the same as the S14 one which is nowhere near S14 standard at the moment.
At least the Stormers can draw from Boland and even then they’re looking a bit vulnerable.
8 Oct 2006, 11:20 am
148# Agree thehef
No doubt, the Cheetahs were playing out of their skin that first 30 minutes…Catfish said that their tight five were awesome and overwhelming during that spell, and the ref didn’t have much to do with it then.
8 Oct 2006, 11:23 am
Piterman
It wasn’t just the Cheetahs tight five. Their loosies took the Sharks to the cleaners as well.
If they can play like that for 80 minutes an S14 home semi is a distinct possibility.
8 Oct 2006, 11:23 am
The ref had everything to do with it, he and that incompetant flag carrier patrolling the sidelines, we are talking CC 2006 right?

pieterman, na 30 minute se spel het van die Sharks onderseuners saam met ons vir mekaar gevra – wie speel vandag losskakel, wie speel senter, speel Butch? ens ens ens. Ongelooflik aanwysend dat die Sharks glad nie die bal gesien het binne die eerste 30 minute nie…

Yo Pieterman it must suck being in a country where rugby only raises peoples eyes in confusion. The Germans would make an awesome rugger team though if they tried, they big fellas, I am trying to imagine a Scandinavian rugby team would be a force to be reckined with…
One thing great to see is that 6 teams came to the Currie cup party, and rugby is looking strong in SA, the coasty teams are young and have a bright future, the Cheetahs and Bulls are still klapping it and the Lions followed by the upcoming Griquas was semi-promising…good CC this year
8 Oct 2006, 11:32 am
BaasBlou,
Julle het die Bulls babes, as julle enige inteligensie gehad het en nie soos damduikers gelyk het nie kon julle dalk van hulle vir pa en ma gaan wys het. Leen sommer jou oupa se kisklere vir die groot okasie.
8 Oct 2006, 11:33 am
Finmaster
I suppose I’d better confirm your worst fears.
It is a barely disguised secret in Pretoria that the Bulls paid Fortuin and the officials a massive amount of money to ensure the Sharks lost. They did this as they’re terrified of meeting the Sharks at Loftus due to their loss there earlier in the season.
The Bulls actually acknowledge that the Sharks are the best team in the country and will do anything to avoid playing them at Loftus.

Die donners dink mos almal kom kyk vir hulle en dat die Nulle nie oorwinbaar is nie. Julle beter hoop dat Jonathan Kaplan die job kry, hy is die enigste een wat mans genoeg is om die Bulle se horings te trek.

Luke Watson should do the honourable thing and withdraw himself from competitive rugby… when he does so, he can thank Keo for keeping his dreams alive even in the face of such glaring deficiencies…
A bad attitude can only take you so far, Puke has reached his ceiling. If he wants to go any further, he’ll have to grow another 6 inches taller (to offer something in the lineouts), become a lot quicker (to arrive at the breakdowns before the locks), become tougher (to compete for the ball on the ground) and of course, he’ll need to lose that attitude
8 Oct 2006, 11:58 am
finm, ek was baie skrikkerig voor gister se game teen die Sharks en ja, die Bulle was gister weer goed gewees, MAAR twee dinge – hulle moet eers op Bloem kom wen EN tweedens – ‘n finaal is ‘n totaal ander game…

na die saterdag is die hele vrystaat span in die hospitaal.
8 Oct 2006, 12:03 pm
John, I’m not a Luke fan at all, but you have to give the guy some credit for his play. For a 22-year old he’s shown a lot of maturity and I wont complain if JW picks him in the nr.6 jersey for the Boks. Hy sal hart, siel en piel gee vir die Bokke.

aahhh, finmaster. name calling? now that’s foolish. showing your ignorance on this website before and after the game, now that’s foolish. maybe you should have a look at what fool means. other than foolish, i would say that you’re probably the biggest sore loser as well. a word of advise: some bull supporters still can’t get over their cc final loss last year; get prof. help soon.
cheetahs 30, sharkies 14 – put it in your pipe and smoke it, chum.

8 Oct 2006, 13:14 pm
The amount of players Rassie removed and brought back during the game, I’m surprised he has any players left!
His games are getting a bit much now and he aint going to get away with it in the super 14. I mean at one stage it looked like Ryno van der Merwe was getting a ******* facial! All the medical official was doing was moving the sweat around his face and giving tactics!
8 Oct 2006, 13:17 pm
John – it was a bad attitude that saw James Small be the only player to contain Lomu in ’95.
Attitude is good, Jake should leave his schoolteacher way of thinking behind. Luke is a quality player and i’ll thake the opinions of Stransky, Mallett, Mexted, Naas and the like over yours and Jakes!

8 Oct 2006, 18:57 pm
I the Cheetah’s game again, and I must agree, that some of the decisions were not flash! Akkers shouldn’t have got a card, but the Sharks did shoot themselves in the “Fin” and I believe the Cheetah’s would have won the game anyway. They were more focussed on what they wanted to do, and their intensity in the first half was phenomenal
The Blue Bulls are already talking of a grudge match, which could backfire badly. The Cheetah’s discipline was good, and some BB players revenge means only one thing, try and maim your opponent
8 Oct 2006, 19:06 pm
EvaC..
jul sal ju keer moet ken met daai pak van die BB,doen dit en sit GROOT druk op DH en jul vat die Beker weer bloem toe..
asof Rassie nie bg weet nie, ne!?
8 Oct 2006, 19:32 pm
EvaC, nee ,nee ons will nie spelers MAIM nie onthou om in n ou vas te hardloop is jou kans net so groot om te bly le, kyk hoe storm Kabamba in ek dink soms hy is n lunatic of op dagga, dalk daarom dat hy kort kort afgaan om n pull te vat, nee ou sus ons speel hard, julle ook.
Maar wat julle wel doen is om te niggle en te provoke, darem jammer ons kan nie soos in die ou dae dit lekker uitsort nie en aangaan met die game nie.
Jy gaan nou daaroor kerm maar wedstryde in die ou dae het nie uitgeloop op n permanente boksgeveg nie.
Net so graag soos jy wil he die ref moet streng wees en die eerste vuishou met n kaart straf wil ek he hy moet die eerste ou wat dit begin afstuur.
8 Oct 2006, 19:55 pm
The ref’s of both games were influenced by the home crowd’s.
They were not up to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8 Oct 2006, 20:19 pm
Stem saam in die geheel Superbul, maar JP Nel se spel is party maal heeltemal onaanvaarbaar. Ek geniet ook dat die game hard gespeel word, en ja niggle en provoke is so deel van die spel,en dit sal so bly. En die spelers wat dit beste hanteer , en kanaaliseer, sal altyd bo eindig
Die oomblik wat jy toelaat dat dit jou spel beinvloed is dit verby
Ek dink dit gaan ‘n goeie game wees. Die BB is die gunstelinge, maar as daar een span is wat die bulle kan stuit is diot die Cheetah’s omdat hulle hulle spel so kan afwissel, en omdat hulle ‘n goeie balans in die span het
8 Oct 2006, 20:30 pm
Jy se ons is die gunstelinge die Rapport reken nie so , en verskeie ander ook nie.
Hiers die rapport se menings peiling
Wie dink jy gaan vanjaar se wenners van die Curriebeker wees?
Blou Bulle 394 50%
Cheetahs 392 50%
Totale aantal stemme :786
8 Oct 2006, 22:56 pm
Hmmm interesant, ek het supersport se peining gesien 53% Bb en 47% Cheetah’s, ek dink baie daarvan is omdat ander ondersteuners nou moet kant kies.
Ek is ‘n Cheetah, maar probeer altyd realisties wees, en ek hoop maar die Cheetah’s kan op hulle beste wees, want dit gaan ‘n gemotiveerde, en ‘n gedissiplineerde span vat om die Bulle te Klop
9 Oct 2006, 04:22 am
EvaC, ek se mos altyd toets wat jy se met die beginsel, doen aan ander wat jy aan jou self gedoen wil he, in Rugby sal ek se, net so graag as wat ek wil wen so wil my teenstander. Dus so ook ek en jy.
Ek hoop die Bulle speel soos hulle die laaste klomp wedstryde speel en die ref blaas regverdig en daars geen beserings nie. Dan sal ek vol vertroue wees ons sal oorwin. Ons sal weer praat sterkte.
9 Oct 2006, 07:43 am

Ek het so in vermoede dat die song “LIEFLING” geheime codes in het. So dit sal nogal mooi gaan met die disco ligte.
Vir Julle ander spanne … ja dis revenge vir die bulle want die cheatahs moes NOOIT gewen het nie .. alles te danke aan kaplan. JY kry partykeer dat die ref en touch judge die show wil steel net soos wat met sharks gebeer het. Dit was glad nie wonderlike rugby rugby nie.
Kom ouens eks in bul en ek se die sharks is uit die game gecheat ….. kyk weer mooi na daai driee. Voorentoe passes. Die sharks is span met minste geel of rooi kaarte …. daar saterdag was kaarte net uitgedeel.

jy is reg drunkmonkey,
fortuin en linston was swak gewees, wat my veral gepla het was die manier waarop fortuin met die sharks gepraat het, ala kaplan,
saru behoort op te tree teen refs wat so met spelers praat, dit is onaanvaarbaar
9 Oct 2006, 09:27 am
Well done Bulle,
a very good performance and a nice game of rugby (apart from the suicidle errors from my team).
There is always next season.
9 Oct 2006, 09:29 am
What a weekend and what a cruncher it will be on Saturday! To the Sharks sorry about story on Ackerman. He never did punch and it was a crucial time to be send off. Once AGAIN A PATHETIC decission. Vrystaat really performed well on the day. A cruncher indeed it will be on Saturday.
See Rassie is already starting his mind games with injuries etc. Clever but not clever enough.
9 Oct 2006, 10:14 am
Not only were the officials in the game **** but the bloody cameramen were no better. Man are we on a downward spiral or what if that is the standard dished up in the semis of our premier competition.
9 Oct 2006, 14:27 pm
Die TV wys altyd die REF se foute en die koerant skryf daaroor en Joost het ook altyd kommentaar daaroor en daar is altyd n GOEIE verduideliking deur een van die REF beamptes en niemand kan iets daaraan doen nie want die game is Saterdag al gespeel en die REF gaan sy tjek kry die einde van die maand en n helse klomp supporters is nog weke daarna die donner in. SO WHAT CHEERS, BRING MAAR NOG N BIER.
