WP will face the Leopards, Boland and possibly the Lions without ironman Schalk Burger.
The departure of Chris Jack and the injuries to Fondse and Van Zyl, has come at an unfortunate time in view of other teams being bolstered by their returning Boks. The tight five that have shocked a few arch enemies and their supporters who vocally love to hate anything south of the Hex River valley, may find it more difficult to impose themselves to the same extent that they muted the noise levels of Loftus and ABSA stadium earlier this season.
The medical news on Burger is that his ribs are still severely swollen and tender after his injury in the 67th minute of SA’s Tri Nations win against NZ last Saturday.
To make matters worse for the resurgent WP outfit, the injuries to Willem de Waal, Fondse and Newman have been confirmed as long term, which means they will not play any further part this season. Andries Bekker is still on the mend and will also miss Friday’s excursion to Potchefstroom.
The substantial vacuum left by Jean de Villiers will also be felt, but fortunately Juan de Jong has shown huge potential in midfield, and his pairing with Frikkie Welsh looked sharp and attacked with pace against the Cheetahs last weekend.
Ricky January will be rested this weekend. Allister Coetzee did not elaborate on what the cause of his fatigue was. It is doubtful whether his current form can justify displacement of the incumbent Dewaldt Duvenhage.
De Kock Steenkamp will fill the void left by Chris Jack in the engine room, and Tiaan Liebenberg will join Hilton Lobberts on the bench.
“We wanted to keep that continuity going,” Coetzee said at the media conference on Tuesday.
“Making a lot of changes at this stage can be disruptive. We are definitely looking to consolidate”
This where the rubber hits the road, and where the walk should be walked, and the talk be left to those who mask their fear by making snide comments about the shadows as they walk down a dark alley.
Bly Mametsa is ook terug vir die Bulle. Jammer hy het nie so baie spoed nie,anders was hy ook al lankal ‘n Bok. Speel sy hart uit daai man.
@Polla –
Jy het lassweek gese die groot spanne sal nie bonuspunte kry nie. Toe duk WP en Cheetahs 4 driee!

So close, yet so far.
@K9-MonsterLeeu –
Het jy nog jou en Ex Player se kamersleutel? 😳
@Supa Die Bloubul – Hier het hulle ook maar ‘n aksent..dit klink net nie soos Kiwi’s s’n nie. Ek dink hulle is net te bang om daar bo by Loftus of Ellispark met hulle AB’ truie op te daag!…Ons is bietjie meer tegemoedkomend hier op Nuweland!
@Supa Die Bloubul – het gesê sie GROOT spanne.
tot later ouens en vrouens….

Bulls teen Sharks is great, maar Bulls teen WP…..
@The-Pill –

Nee heng, dan kry ek maar liewer zilch, soos gewoonlik, maar 5 wil ek nie he nie!
@Polla –
WP gaan swaar trek in Potch hoor, ernstig!
Sien Ludeke het vir Chili op haker bo Kuun gekies. Dewald kaptein.
Ashley, gaan jy saterdag die Bulle ondersteun daar in Wellington ?
@Pietman – Moerse verskil tussen 6 en 5.
R2.75mil teenoor R6400!
If you cant go all the way, why go at all.
162 @Pietman – sien die Proteas speel teen WIE, ook vrydag in Potch.

I think you’re misunderstanding me, Supa. Exploring the answers that you have given me does not mean that I don’t like them. In fact the opposite is true!
And I think we’ve come a long way during this information gathering process, for we now have agreement that other province’s supporters support Oz/NZ teams when they play the South African Stormers.
There’s only one outstanding question: do you Supa Die Bloubul support the Stormers when they play the Oz/NZ teams?
156@Polla –
hehehe…ek dink hulle sien te veel ouens wat soos Geo Conje lyk hier! 😆
157@K9-MonsterLeeu –
😆 Goeie punt…
@fender –
No I dont. You still havent given me you reasons why you think WP are disliked?

171@Ashley – BOE land !
@Supa Die Bloubul – Niemand. Het keo vir hele ruk gevolg, toe sien ek die skeuring en iemand post toe die web se adres daar. Dit is hoe ek julle gevind het.
172 @WitenBlou – welkom !
@Ashley – BOOOOOLAND!!!! Ek koop sommer ‘n Boland trui vir die naweek.
Ek wil net graag vra. Ek was op Nuweland met die Wp Bulle game. So n ent in die game in, was daar n ou met n wallaby trui wat deur die sekuriteit uit Nuweland uitgelei is. Sy neus en mond was vol bloed. Die skare het hom uitgejou en hy het het geantwoord met n middelvinger. Dit was natuurlik die dag toe die bokke teen Aus verloor het. Dit het gebeur by die deel waar die ouens staan. Ons het die vanaf die hoofpawiljoen dopgehou. Het iemand anders dit dalk gesien gebeur?
@bdb – Dankie man. Ek voel sommer welkom.
@WitenBlou – nie gesien nie maar ek raai hys gemoer 🙂
