All eyes on Bash

The solitary Springbok in WP’s starting backline, Peter Grant, holds the key to an unlikely upset over the Bulls this Saturday.

Not renowned for his kicking exploits, Grant is in for the duel of his career when he lines up against Fourie du Preez and Morné Steyn. Territorial dominance is all-important, and the Bulls halfback pairing specialise in pinning the opposition in their own half.

WP backline coach Robbie Fleck feels Grant isn’t given due credit for his kicking contributions. Fleck said Grant will be able to match Du Preez and Steyn on Saturday.

‘Guys have been questioning Bash’s kicking ability since the start of the season, and he’s delivered week after week. It’s true that it’s not his real strength, and we’re hoping the game opens up where his attacking abilities will come to the fore.’

Province are relieved to be playing this game at Newlands and not at Loftus Versfeld, where the rarefied atmosphere allows the ball to travel further and saps the energy of visiting players in the latter stages.

It is because of this fact that Fleck believes Du Preez and Steyn’s impact should be reduced. WP are also aiming to pressurise the Bulls up front, and if they manage to dominate, the Bulls halfbacks will be further quelled.

‘Any flyhalf will feel the heat when his pack is retreating, and we’ll certainly look to apply that kind of pressure,’ said Fleck.

‘I remember Steyn did struggle earlier this year when the Boks were going backward. He has progressed a lot this season, while Fourie du Preez is the best scrumhalf in the world, but even they could be susceptible if they are playing on the back foot.

‘It’s good that this game is being played at Newlands, so Steyn won’t get the usual distance on those kicks.’

Everybody’s talking about the forward battle this Saturday, and while the Bulls are the favourites at the lineout, the hosts will feel confident at scrum time.

Both sides will look to play in their opponent’s half. Should WP realise their lofty ambition of forward and territorial dominance, they’ll still need to make their opportunities count. This is where Fleck sees Grant exercising his greatest strength.

‘Bash has been massive for us this season, he’s really taken on the senior role in the backs since Jean de Villiers left for Munster. He will have the experience of Frikkie Welsh to lean on, but Bash is calling the shots.

‘There are ways and means of breaking down that Bulls defence, their system certainly isn’t flawless. Our pack’s done very well this year, and if they can lay the platform then it’s a matter of executing and getting over that tryline. It’ll be hard work, but we’ve done it before and we’re capable of doing it again,’ said Fleck.

‘This backline has come a long way this season, but there’s no need to be content with only making it this far. We have to front up. If we fail, we can’t blame it on youth.’

The senior players had a meeting with the management on Monday and Fleck said he was pleasantly surprised with their attitude throughout that exchange. Grant, Luke Watson and the other seniors are confident ahead of this weekend’s semi-final, and like Fleck, they’re glad the media and rugby public view them as underdogs.

‘The pressure is all on the Bulls,’ said Fleck. ‘They’re the team laden with Springboks, they’re the team that has won a Super 14 title recently.

‘We’re playing at home where we’re unbeaten, so there are positives for us. There’s no pressure, only the pressure we place on ourselves to execute effectively.’

    If he really thinks WP have a chance of forward dominance, he’s deluded. Their scrum is overhyped, like everything in Cape Town. The Bulls just need to run their S14 semi game plan they used against the Crusaders on muscle memory. I’m a Sharks fan, but, the Blue Juggernaut will crush WeePee.

  • 7.grant10: Reply to this comment

    Love all the beating of the Bulls chests….30 points winning margins…’crushing of wp….just pitching and relying on muscle memory to win,etc,etc,ad nauseum…..

    So am hoping the bulls players feel the same way….sadly i doubt it.

    May just be a bit tougher than some rather big mouths on this blog believe.

    Not saying they just need to pitch up, but that they’ve done this all before against more illustrious opposition.

  • 9.stew: Reply to this comment

    I dont believe the pressure is all on the Bulls – they are a professional outfit ( now) and the key to playing FINAL rugby is mental preparation – they certainly have the edge here …… But maybe a bit of complacency in the Bulls camp , has sunk many a ship

    The bulls are a great team but they have one weak link in my opinion – Frans Ludeke. He’s not in Meyer’s class and mental prep has a lot to do with the coach I think. It’s really up to the senior bulls to get everyone in the right frame of mind for this one.

    Having said that I think the Sharks have a great chance of making it 6…..they have a well balanced side , will be tough against the Cheetahs but I think the Sharks overall quality will pull them through.

    Think the Bulls will win at a canter against Province, just to many settled combinations and overall experience in the Bulls side.

    But the Province revival has begun……. always said we are a year away from winning trophies.

    I hope i am wrong , cream always come to the top and this year year the Bulls and Sharks got more cream thean we have at Province !!

    #51 justrugby: well I think you might be right with your prediction especially now that WP have a more competitive pack, Fourie and Habana will be good acquisitions and JDV will probably be back for next year’s CC, Pietersen will be a year further along in his development. It seems that when WP have had a good backline they’ve had weak forwards and now their forwards are stronger, the backs don’t look so dangerous.

    Peter Grant has held the key in so many games he played for WP or the Stormers and never has he delivered and won the game for his team when it really counted and it’s not gonna happen this Saturday and it gives me no pleasure to say it.

    #20 Transformation: I was wondering where Ashley found himself. I now only realise that he has taken up Sheriff’s position, being the wingman to the Senior Blogger. Sheriff must be absolutely gutted.

    Friends, fellow rogues, soothsayers, non-conformists, misfits and rabble rousers, I stand here before you with the fire in my heart and the dedicated faith of a red Disa flower. I hoop all will be well tomorrow in Hoopsland.

    I hoop the supporters are going to be so magical that strange things happen to the Bulls. ( Like 5 red cards!! ;-) ). I hoop the streeptruie can doen a ding wat sing.

    I hoop and hoop that the hoops pull through and punch above their weight.

    Fanks for tuning in. Now where are my rizzlas? :mrgreen:

    It’s done. Suzy went deep undercover a few days ago and has been monitoring the Bulls camp in a v-e-r-y below the radar way. She knows ex-acker-mi-ly what to do. Tonight at supper time she’ll increase the dose of anti- Bull-dust sprinkles on the teams “chow” at the hotel.

    Tomorrow **** will fly as all hell breaks loose and WP will stride through dem Bulls with effervescent joy as the Mutha City goes bedonnered in paroxysms of pleasure and delight!

    ag i dont mind who the sharks play IF we win tomorrow.

    a streeptruie brigade in the tank would be just fine.

    but will they travel in the numbers that the bulls fans do?

    huh? will they?

    another kingdom unfortunately.

    they have different rules down there but are accomodating about a sly pint or 12.

    the northeaster does blow the smell of pollution their way for the majority of the year unfortunately.

    bygones then.

    but if province make the final, then we braai at the tank eh?

    streeptruie round the fire, imagine!

  • 168.John1976: Reply to this comment

    #162 Transformation: I doubt it that he is merely concerns about Ashley’s wellbeing. he has some personal interest in getting Ashley away from RT. This would clear the way for him to take up his favourite position as the wingman to the Senior Blogger and perhaps being the only quota blogger.

  • 169.charo: Reply to this comment

    #160 WP Till I Die:

    yeah, like r10 a quart.
    as opposed to r25 a pint of windhoek draft at fireman’s.
    and you can drink the quart in the sun…takes effect faster lol

  • 170.cab: Reply to this comment

    2 great games for sure, would be nice to see WP get into a final, but cant see them beating the Bulls, on the plus-side they do have home adv and burger off the bench.

    sharks/freestate should be close, but with bismarck and deysel back, again you gotta put your buck on the favourites.

  • 171.SpringbokSarah: Reply to this comment

    Peter will once again be awesome thank you very much… so he doesn’t drop kick as often as Morne but on everything else he beats him… or comes insanely close
