This is a press release from the Vodacom Bulls website:
The Blue Bulls Company (Pty) Ltd has secured the services of the Griquas’ tighthead prop Bees Roux.
The 27-year-old Roux has signed a two year contract with the Bulls on Thursday afternoon and he will join up with his new team mates on November, 1.
Roux, who made his Absa Currie Cup debut in 2005 for the Leopards before he joined the Griquas in 2007, says he is extremely excited about all the new challenges and opportunities that await him at Loftus Versfeld and he is convinced that it was the right thing to do at this stage of his career.
“I’ve have a wonderful time in Kimberley with the Griquas and I am sad to leave, but an offer to play for the Bulls is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
“The Bulls are a highly successful team and it will be a huge honour to play with all their world class players.
“I can obviously learn a great deal from them and I would like contribute to what they have achieved in the last couple of seasons.”
Coach Frans Ludeke added that it was very important for the Bulls to sign another experienced tighthead and he is full of confidence that Roux will be able to anchor the Bulls’ scrum.
“Bees has done very well for the Cheetahs in the Super 14 and together with Werner Kruger, Frik Kirsten and Rossouw de Klerk we will be able to go from strength to strength in the future.”
This is really good news for the Bulls supporters as the Bulls scrum has been struggling the past year. Hopefully Bees Roux can make a difference and help the Bulls to once again dominate up front or at least hold their own.

54@superBul –
For interest sake. Did you know JJ Harmse grew up in the Cape, studied at Stellenboch and supported WP back then? When he got to know the Bulls better he became a Bulls fan.
@Puma – I have done Sharks by 5 (like you said) and I picked the Aussies to win, for the hell of it!!
@Supa Die Bloubul – 49 I realised when I came over for the Lions Tour I was far more familiar with all the Bok team than the Lions. Bit embarrasing when I did’nt recognise Mike Phillips in the Hotel!!
@carol – just watch the name calling. 😆
55 @smallies72 – ju spelt ‘optemistic’ rong, id musd bi ‘optimistiec’ …
@Supa Die Bloubul – 61
So he saw the light
@carol – 59
Have you finished that red wine yet Carol?
@grootblousmile – How ‘very’ convenient!! Heheheh..
Nice to see Tassies name here, a good bloke. He took the four of us up to signal Point above Cape Town on a beautiful clear night, wangled it past the securtiy guards and showed us Cape Town looking spectacular by night, will never forget that!
@Puma – 67 Second glass calling but it is a Thursday 😐 Big decision, I know, I will have one for you!!
@bdb – Anderdag wou die sap my toesluit omdat ek engels gepleeg het
@carol – 62
Good that you picked Sharks. You wont go wrong there but change it to a ABs win on the weekend. Think they will beat the Aussies in NZ. It will be close. 3 or 7 something like that.
@carol – 69
Ag, just go on Carol. Have my one for me…hahaha.
63@carol –
How could you miss Phillips?? He has “sexy blue eyes”! 😆
@smallies72 – Ek is praat taal hopeloos, sal hou probeer verbeter!! 😉
66@superBul –
Exactly!
@grootblousmile – 55
Just read that GB is coming back to the Bulls. Now what happens to Kuun and Chili?
@bdb – sien post 70
Im really looking forward to the Barbarians vs All Blacks game! My first game at Twickers! Cant wait!
@Puma – 71, no you will find out on superbru, once you have submitted there is no turning back!!
You can then see the pools picks too, but NO changes can be made!
superbul will get you to do the next rounds, I suppose that will be Super 14 again!!
77@smallies72 – ons sal moet veg vir ons taal hier op RT ! 😉
@Puma –
Kuun should move back to 6. But we need more than one hooker, so they will get gametime. At this point our scrummaging is a problem. If it takes Gary and Bees to fix that, then they have to accept the situation.
@Supa Die Bloubul – 73 Phillips eyes are exactly what lured my Lions Girlfriend Jayne to him!!
I met BOD so I was happy!!
Percy however was in Durban when I was in Cape Town!! Grrrr….still have not met him yet!
My time will come!
@carol – you are better than me i seem to commit english
74 @carol – your Afri-ish, is/are/was/were much better than my Engli-aans ! 🙂
@Supa Die Bloubul – Twickers I have to say is not as good as The Milennium, Loftus or the Shark Tank, however it is better than Newlands!! 🙂
@carol – 79
Well there might be a cricket one. Super just asked if he should do one. I think he should.
82@carol –
Maybe its good that you havent met Percy, so you will always admire him. From what I heard he is not the cleverest crayon in the box.
85@carol –
It this was Facebook – I would clicked on the “I like your status” button!
@bdb – No, you can construct a sentence, I do not know how you mix your words about so I must put them in the wrong order most of the time! I managed to confuse Supa at the weekend!
Those interested in joining a ICC superbru game say so and i will start one, so by the way what will be the names of our pools from now on. I suggest Talkers R-T, come give ideas.
