The Vodacom Blue Bulls’ prop Werner Kruger as well as their centre Wynand Olivier have picked up injuries against the Boland Cavaliers in Wellington on Saturday.

Kruger had to leave the field in the first half due to a rib injury and Olivier struggled with an ankle, but Dr Org Strauss is optimistic that both will recover in time for Saturday’s clash at Loftus Versfeld against the Free State Cheetahs.

Olivier’s Springbok team mate, Bakkies Botha, will definitely not be able to play against the Cheetahs and Bryan Habana is currently on his honeymoon and is therefore also not available but there is a slight chance that Fourie du Preez might be eligible.

Dr Strauss said on Saturday night that Du Preez’s chances are 50/50 and a call will only be made later the week.

The rest of the Bulls who toured with the Springboks in Australasia will join up with the squad on Monday. That includes guys like Pierre Spies, Victor Matfield, Danie Rossouw and Morné Steyn.

    @carol – 323

    Carol for me in Cricket you have to know who is going to bat first to say runs or wickets. Well I almost put down what I thought then had 2nd thoughts and thought I will wait until tomorrow and see who is batting first. A hour before not sure if we will know who is batting. So may aswell put it in soon.

    Its a tough one playing Sri-Lanka first but think we should win it. We are a bit rusty right now though.

    @Ed_the_Lion – jEEZ YOU ARE A NINNY !!! I would have whipped your ars£ at squash, you would have been crying when i put those little gentle shots in one of the corners just above the line, all men do.

    How was your squash tournement.

    @The-Pill – 329

    Or before you go out to a party..hehe.

    @Ed_the_Lion – Of course, you were busy organising that last week, well done though. Two hours sleep, good job you are so ‘young’ hehehehe.
    Did you get to play too?

  • 335

    332@Treehugger – What is a Ninny? I almost beat John White this weekend, so I am pretty sure I will pick up your shots in the corner. 😉

    320@Puma – I have honed this fine-tuned machine of a body from an early age on Condensed Milk, Biltong, sweets… you name it.

    I have no cholestrol problems, am not fat, do not have shoddy knees….

    I am INVINCIBLE !!

    Hehehehe

    @Ed_the_Lion – ah hadnt seen your post number 328 yet.

  • 338

    @The-Pill – 329 A handful of hay or leaves?….. Fibre never sounds very appetising!

  • 339

    334@carol – Thank you Carol. Yeah, I played John White. Great player. He has the world record for the hardest ever squash shot 172mph or 276.8072km/h.

    @carol – 327

    He may listen to you Carol. Get him off the condensed milk.

    Jeez I hate anything that sweet. Have never drank sugar ever in my coffee or tea either.

    The only sweet thing I enjoy is Port…haha. Probably also bad for the teeth. Well yes it is I know.

  • 341

    @Puma – Just a pity that i seldom take my own advise.

    Consumed a large amount of alcohol Friday on a not so full stomach. Needless to say, i got very pissed.

    @Puma – I loved it when he said he would rather have this toothache for the rest of his life than to visit R-T

  • 343

    @The-Pill – There was a beer sponser at the squash tournament. 😯

  • 344

    @grootblousmile – I would not disagree, Titanium Man!
    It was nearly a year ago you bounced off the front of that 10 tonne truck too!!

  • 345

    @grootblousmile – 336

    You think you are invincible then it happens over night and you will wish you never. Going to lose all your teeth with that amount of sweet condensed milk and it sticks to the teeth. Look after them boeta. Otherwise you will have to have false ones by the age of 50 be warned.

    More close is Flemish… you can actually communicate.
    @Puma

  • 347

    342@superBul – Is that what he said? Why? I don’t understand some people. Yeah well, life goes on.

  • 348

    @Ed_the_Lion – 😯 You would not want to get in the way of one of his serves, at that speed you would get quite a bruise!

  • 349

    @superBul – 342

    Well he must visit here as he seems to know what some are saying here. He mentioned someone last night.

    Toothache is horrible. Thats the one pain I hate. It is constant.

  • 350

    @Puma – He should use a straw and bypass the teeth! 😆

  • 351

    @Stan – Flemish is easy to understand. I use to go to Belgium alot. Antwerp to be exact. I could understand most conversations.

  • 352

    @Ed_the_Lion – deep seated hate for this site.

  • 353

    @carol – It wasn’t of a serve. Just a shot into the rally. If that little squash ball hits you at that speed, you will be stinging for some time.

  • 354

    @Puma – 340 I think being 5,000 miles away from Brakpan would mean I have very little influence on his shopping habits!! 🙂
    Port, a real winter warmer!

  • 355

    @Ed_the_Lion – The hypocritical Bastards!

  • 356

    345@Puma – I take between 3 and 4 spoons sugar in my coffee, depending on the size of the spoon… I drink soetes all the time…

    I have’nt seen a doctor in 3 or 4 years.. except when the roof fell on me in December and I had to get stitches…

    And Carol can confirm… there is nothing wrong with me…with me… with me… with me…

  • 357

    @Puma – someone asked him about forgiveness, he said he stays they can stay. Witch is fair i would say.

  • 358

    352@superBul – That is what I don’t understand. He was saying that R-T is a good thing because now Keo is better place to blog. To show so much hatred is uncalled for.

  • 359

    @The-Pill – 350

    I heard that works well. hahaha. Then you can not bypass diabetes. Condensed milk is just about 100% sugar.

    @Ed_the_Lion – WOW Then you are vseryveryvseryvery good.:-)
    I havnt played for many years, the game put me in a wa
    wheelchair for 4 weeks and casts on my feet uptill my knee’s. had torn both achilles tendons, did feel the pain but carried on for weeks until i couldnt even walk.

    I played every morning 5 days a week, twice week in the evenings and a splash of tennis. You never heal from that kind of injury, always have to wear heels,my farmboots even have a 1 inch heel, and you would look so cute in heels. Think i might be old enough to be your mother by the way so be kind when you answer 😆
