    Trick is to think of as many Bulls players as you can.

  • 122

    @Loosehead – Chester, also the non WP version.

  • 123

    @Supa Die Bloubul – You do know that Schalk plays for WP?

    I note that Master Luke and the Mechanic are yet to be nominated.

    Voldemort! haha
    Ek verstaan jy onthou dit nie, dit was n heel ander Ed. Maar die mense het dit skaars genoem en toe dadelik daarvan vergeet.

    121@Supa Die Bloubul – Sies jou vark!

  • 126

    122@Ed_the_Lion – Is there any other?

  • 127

    Have to go, cheers all!

    123@Loosehead

    Ja I know, I hate it…hehe
    He has been my favourite player for years, I met him as well and I like the way he plays. Fearless. But I must admit, its difficult to look past his striped jersey…

    124@Supa Die Bloubul – Nis asof mense dit verkeerd opgevat het nie. Ek kyk nou hier na die foto van Pierre Spies snr toe hy ruggu gespeel het. Lyk of hy baie beter kon van as Pierre Spies Jnr. hehehehehe

  • 135

    @Supa Die Bloubul – VANG!!!!!!!

  • 136

    @Ed_the_Lion

    ooooo, nou verstaan ek…verander nogal die betekenis! hehe

  • 137

    134@smallies72

    Sou Roets nie noodwendig in die “non-choker” span sit nie. Hy het lekker gechoke in 2005…dog julle Cheetahs sal dit onthou smallies!

  • 138

    @ supa ma hy het net teen absoluut briljante spelers gechoke en het nie vir die choker kings gespeel nie

    1. Os du Rant.
    2. J.Smit.
    3. Visagie/ Maybe Balie cause he scrummed like a machine on
    our line in the semi of the WC 95. Otherwise we may
    never have made the final.

    4. BAKKIES there can only be one..haha.
    5. Matfield
    6. R. Kruger when he played in position. Had to play 7 to
    make way for Pienaar.
    7. A. Venter/ Juan
    8. Teichman
    9. Fourie du Preez with out question the best ever.
    10.Honiball.
    11.Habs the best wing ever.
    12.JdV/ H. le Roux
    13.JF saved us many times with great tries coming on late.
    Then also Japie Mulder for that massive tackle on Lomu in
    the world cup 95. If not for that tackle we may have
    lost. Lomu would have got the try.
    14.JPP just because of that brilliant tackle in the 1/4
    final of wc 2007. If he never got that tackle we would
    have lost that game. I think. That was the turning
    point./ Then Small.
    15.Andre Joubert our best ever/ Now if only we kept F. Steyn
    think he would have become our very best.

    There is only 1 number 15:

    PERCIVAL COLIN MONTGOMERY……

  • 144

    Fourie du Preez for fly-half… Joost is a much better scrumhalf than Fourie du Preez ever was, but I’m sure Fourie du Preez would’ve been a great fly-half.

  • 145
