The high flying Bulls are taking on the stubborn Waratahs at 19:10 on Saturday 27 February 2010 at Loftus, Pretoria. The Bulls have opted for a bit of rotation whereas the Waratahs have winged all week about Victor Matfield not found guilty for foul play. Just purely for the whinging, the Waratahs deserve to lose this game.
The Bulls have an impressive 10 Log points from a possible 10 and scoring above 50 for each of the 2 games of the first 2 weeks. Scoring tries has not been a problem, patience has not been an issue, everything seems to be running very smoothly for the Super 14 defending champions.
A few players are even back from injury in Dewalt Potgieter and Danie Rossouw but there are still a few niggling injuries… Spies, Bakkies, Chilliboy, Ndungane.
The Bulls have chosen to rotate Derick Kuun with the in-form Deon Stegmann and Danie Rossouw replaces Pierre Spies at No 8. Is this an indication that the Bulls are overconfident or that they underestimate the Waratahs or are they just so proficient in their preparation that this does not matter at all?
The Waratahs and specially their captain, Shrek… I mean Phil Waugh, are ill diciplined and the slowest to embrace the New Law Interpretations. But they are a resiliant bunch of numb-nuts who just won’t quit, a tough bunch of buggers who play hard and uncompromising rugby.
Riding on the crest of the wave with my beloved Bulls I have to be bold and back them for a wonderful win…. Bulls by 15 PLUS and scoring the bonus point in the process.

It seems some people has short memories.
Tim Noakes reckoned that about 1800 playing minutes will keep a player in top condition right through a season. To me it seems rotating Stegman is just good player management. Player management is what Tim Noakes is talking about.

Sure it will be just fine this weekend…
Regarding the playing surface of Loftus, there was an explanation given on the website of the Bulls
A blonde, wanting to earn some money, decided to hire herself out as a handyman-type and started canvassing a wealthy neighborhood. She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any jobs for her to do.
“Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge?”
The blonde said, “How about 50 dollars?” The man agreed and told her that the paint and ladders that she might need were in the garage. The man’s wife, inside the house, heard the conversation and said to her husband, “Does she realize that the porch goes all the way around the house?”
The man replied, “She should. She was standing on the porch.”
A short time later, the blonde came to the door to collect her money.
“You’re finished already?” he asked. “Yes,” the blonde answered, “and I had paint left over, so I gave it two coats. “Impressed, the man reached in his pocket for the $50. “And by the way,” the blonde added, “that’s not a Porch, it’s a Ferrari.”
Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly drunk and walking home they suddenly realized they both needed to pee. They were very near a graveyard and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn’t want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home.
The next day the first woman’s husband phones the other husband and said, “These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties.” “That’s nothing,” said the other. “Mine came back with a sympathy card stuck between the cheeks of her butt that said, ‘From all of us at the Fire Station, Well never forget you!’
10 things in golf that sound dirty
1. Look at the size of his putter.
2. Oh, dang, my shaft’s all bent.
3. You really wacked the hell out of that sucker.
4. After 18 holes I can barely walk.
5. My hands are so sweaty I can’t get a good grip.
6. Lift your head and spread your legs.
7. You have a nice stroke, but your follow through leaves a lot to be desired.
8. Just turn your back and drop it.
9. Hold up. I’ve got to wash my balls.
10. Damn, I missed the hole again.
😆
A blonde lady was driving along the highway when a blonde police officer pulled her over for speeding.
Officer: May i see your licence?
Lady: what does it look like?
Officer: its a rectangular thing with a photo of you on it.
The lady looks through her bag and pulls out her compact mirror and hands it to the officer.
The officer opens it up and says ‘if you had told me you were a police officer I wouldn’t have pulled you over.’
A completely inebriated man was stumbling down the street with one foot on the curb and one foot in the gutter. A cop pulled up and said, “I’ve got to take you in, pal. You’re obviously drunk.”
Our wasted friend asked, “Officer, are ya absolutely sure I’m drunk?”
“Yeah, buddy, I’m sure,” said the copper. “Let’s go.”
Breathing a sigh of relief, the wino said, “Thank goodness, I thought I was crippled.”
