Kuün retained at openside

Frans Ludeke has again rotated the Bulls loose forwards for their match against the Highlanders on Saturday.

Derick Kuün retains his openside spot ahead of Deon Stegmann, while Pedrie Wannenburg is relegated to the bench as Dewald Potgieter will earn his first start of the season after being injured.

‘The selection of Derick at openside is also part of the rotational understanding we have,’ said Ludeke. ‘All the players, Deon [Stegmann] included, accept this policy.’

Pierre Spies also returns from a week on the sidelines, with Danie Rossouw shifting to lock. Flip van der Merwe drops to the bench.

‘This is in accordance with our squad system and the agreement with the players,’ said Ludeke. ‘Every one of the players has been playing good rugby and the squad system is working well.’

Substitute prop Bees Roux won’t play this weekend as he cut his head in training, and Heini Adams will play Vodacom Cup rugby to get game-time. Francois Hougaard will cover scrumhalf.

Ludeke has selected a 5-2 bench to counter the Highlanders’ big pack.

Bulls – 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Gerhard vd Heever, 13 Stephan Dippenaar, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Francois Hougaard, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Fourie du Preez, 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Dewald Potgieter, 6 Derick Kuün, 5 Victor Matfield (c), 4 Danie Rossouw, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Gary Botha, 1 Gurthrö Steenkamp.
Subs: 16 Bandise Maku, 17 Rossouw de Klerk, 18 Flip van der Merwe, 19 Deon Stegmann, 20 Jacques-Louis Potgieter, 21 Jaco van der Westhuyzen, 22 Pedrie Wannenburg.

    For those who are interested:

    The Brawn GP Formula 1 racing team has won team of the year at the Laureus sports awards.

    It was reported on here a few weeks ago that the Boks yes nominated. Pity.

    Again that chip weighing heavily on your shoulder dragging you down…

  • 310.skopskiet: Reply to this comment

    ou Blou what makes you think I got chips on my shoulder weighing me down? You see it goes like this. What we tend to believe are achievements are more often than not just falsified delusions of grandeur. Bok’s can be very glad they didn’t lay that c.ck n bull wreath of false pretension around their hallowed halo’d necks.

    Much better to strive for perfection than believe you’ve actually arrived somewhere where you haven’t.

    @skopskiet: @ 309

    Your first post that makes any sense…

    Although with that attitude my team should never have won the S 14 in the first place, because according to you sucsess leads to failure….

    12th night was all I could be bothered with. Something about some bird in drag or something like that.

    was turned off Shakespeare very quickly.

    my path in life led me a different route.

  • 322.Kobus Kitty: Reply to this comment

    I don’t think its a good decision to start Kuun ahead of Stegmann, he isn’t nearly as good.

  • 323.Transformation: Reply to this comment

    @Blouste:ek is nie grap maak chap, my taal is gemors.

  • 324.Transformation: Reply to this comment

    kobus: ludeke is implementing his **** muir-esque rotation policy, trust that he knows what he is doing, however hard that is :D

  • 325.Rugbyfiction: Reply to this comment

    The Bulls are heading for a fall. THAT backline will let them down sooner rather than later. Not nearly enough quality there, if I had to I will only select Olivier for my team. FDP can hold them together for only so long…Mark my words-Bulls will not win this years S14.
