SA Super 14 Rugby-Talk team of the weekend.
1 st nominate the selectors, we need 5 , preferably 1 from each team.
Selectors then nominate the players , only 1 player per position, yes you must make up your mind. If you nominate 2 your picks will be discarded.
Try and make sure you pick a player in his regular playing position. (i know it will be difficult with coaches DM and JP)
Make picks before Monday 16h30.
RT will do the calculation and publish our team.
Bloggers not part of the selection panel is requested to submit their teams too. We will compare ours with the Team of the week picked by the Guru,s (read selectors).Lets make this a fun filled selection game.

1.Gurthrö Steenkamp (Bulls)
Not a Rose fan but thought he had a really good game at the back and also slotted in at flyhalf and found some space against the Stormpies. But for the try Fourie scored, he didn’t too much, Murray had a good game in the wet. He’ll get my pick. Think Jacques Coetzee of the Pumas that came on in second half for the Lions also impressed. But FDP still the best.
Willa i also had Jacques Coetzee in at first but then moved him out because he played only one half. But this team is the players who did best THIS weekend, so FdP reputation must not be decisive. Purely best player of the weekend.
Super weet hoe om goeie keurders te kies.
My span:
Zane Kirchner, Gerhard van den Heever, Jaco Pretorius, Wynand Olivier, Francois Hougaard, Morné Steyn, Fourie du Preez (v/c), Pierre Spies, Pedrie Wannenburg, Deon Stegmann, Victor Matfield (c), Danie Rossouw, Werner Kruger, Gary Botha, Gurthrö Steenkamp. Replacements: Bandise Maku, Bees Roux, Flip vd Merwe, Derick Kuün, Heini Adams, Jacques-Louis Potgieter, Stephan Dippenaar.

Oo nee hel ek moet maar eerder vir Tacitus gaan haal daar op Voldys of dalk JJ Harmse nader sleep. Of nog beter Wynie Strydom.

Heelagter was vir my die moeilikste, want Earl, Stefan, Joe en Zane het almal nie te sleg gespeel nie. Viljoen van Ctahs het so bietjie gevou, maar hy is goed, sal nog beter doen.
8: as jy vir Wynie nader trek gaan hy heeltyd vir Anton Leonard op agsteman kies !

BHaaaaaHaaaaHaaa,
dalk Naas ook nog
😆
Kon nie al die games kyk nie, maar die Bulle en Cheetahs hierbo wat julle almal kies het Vrydag baie goed gespeel.
Lyk my John Smit het ‘n goeie game gehad?
Cobus Grobbelaar moes baie goed gespeel het om Brussow/Stegman te lig!
Maklike eerste week om te voorspel. Volgende week gaan baie moeiliker wees.
Julle is almal te impress met Jongi Nokwe…

Jy chat daar saam die WTR ouens, ek sou ook nog wou, shame ek moes nie so genadeloos hulle vertel het hoe ek oor DM voel nie. Daai mannetjie wat die plug gepul het op my is regtig fyn gevoelig. Wat jy en KP se is maar net dieselfde. En dan beste van alles is wat hulle se oor ander, veral die meester. Hy mag seker daar se wat hy wil oor die Bulle en ander spanne.
Nou ja sy woorde was dat ons Saterdagaand eers rugby gaan sien, die res is sommer twak. Kyk hy het nie die woord twak gebruik nie maar die meer bekende 3 letter woord. Nou sit ek maar so na die highlights en kyk en ek sien maar min van die span wat 13-26 verloor het teen laasjaar se 10de span.
Kyk ek geniet die banter tussen ondersteuners van ander unies, so ek sal , soos jy en KP en Isi graag hulle wou reghelp, ek doen dit nou maar langafstand van hier af.
Leeus julle het baie strooi gepraat laasweek. Toe die ref geblame en nou sien jul alweer net log punte op n skinkbord Vrydagaand. Sterkte manne. Dit gaan weer lekker amusant wees om julle dop te hou.
bdb het jy gesien hoe min hulle op die threads praat, weet jy hoekom? Hulle is bly daai kort comments verdwyn, dan dink hulle hulle hoef nie hul woorde te sluk nie.
O en laastens webmeester moenie my weer mail en dreig nie, jy bly in n glashuis, sit daai klippe neer. Die leeuns oor stelery van sites is belaglik. Die idee was ook nie net joune nie.
super…
Nou watse bakleiery issit hiedie…
Klink na ‘n bietjie van ‘n stupid spul…
Mmmmm, a South African Team of the week purely on THIS WEEKEND’s form…
15 Joe Petersen
14 Lionel Mapoe
13 Jaque Fourie
12 Wynand Meisiekind
11 Jonghi Nokwe
10 Morne Steyn
9 Fourie du Preez
8 Pierre Spies
7 Juan Smith
6 Difficult pick…. must one of the 2 terriers in the Cheetahs / Bulls game… Brussow or Stegmann… and my vote goes to Stegmann due to that sublime try-saving tackle of his on Nokwe.
5 Big Vic
4 Danie Rossouw
3 Can’t go for John Smit, that game was a scrappy game in difficult conditions… have to go for Werner Kruger of the Bulls… a huge improvement on last year… and the Bulls managed to get a penalty try from a monster scrum, against arguably the best front row in the Super 14.
2 Tiaan Liebenberg
1 Gurthro Steenkamp
12: nou dat jy dit noem, Stegmann was ook baie goed, maar mens kan mos nou nie die hele Bulls span kies nie … of kan ‘n mens ?
Ag blouste dit is vir my nie n bakleiery nie, dit is ou vriende wat mekaar altyd maar K@k gebyt het en dit afgelag het maar nou kan somiges dit kwansuis nie meer vat nie.
Ek weet nie waarom dit nou afgemaak word as oneties dat ek iets op n ander website lees en dan weer op n ander een daaroor komentaar lewer en hulle bietjie k#kbyt nie.
Dit was al die jare so met provinsialisme, dit kan net wees dat die Buklle se sukses een te veel word vir hulle. Veral die wat ploeter.
15: goeie more, uit die Blou(ste) van onse hemel !

Hallo, wat ‘n naweek, wat ‘n game…
Bulle het goed gelyk, net verdediging het gelol, maar dit kan gelukkig gefix word.
Bloody Bloem stadion het nie eers drank gehad na die tyd nie, net paar warm biere, maar dit het my nou glad nie gekeer nie !!!
superBul
Ek hoop nie hulle meng in met jou vryheid van spraak nie 😯
Kry vir grootblou om jou in die hof te verdedig, begin net solank spaar want lyk my hy kry maar kakkerig borg voorwaardes ge-“negotiate” 😆
SB @ 18
The trouble is that some supporters cannot / will not acknowledge shortcomings within their chosen Union’s structures.
It’s a little bit like alcoholism I’m afraid. An alcoholic is only considered such when he admits it. Until then he’s just a drunkard.
If your Union admits they have problems and take steps to address them ALL, then they are in the process of healing, until then I’m afraid they’re just k@k.
Being LOYAL is all fine and dandy, but sooner or later one has to open one’s eyes see reality.
I will support the Lions until I die, but unless they start becoming more professional THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STRUCTURES, they will continue to be k@k.
Unfortunately Saturday was the seed which has been sown for the entire season. I predict that on Friday night there will be less than 8 000 people at the Coke Tin, and that it will be a long night for my beloved Lions.
Friday night games are notoriously poorly supported in JHB, and unfortunately the second half of the Stormers game was not good enough to convince the 50/50 fans.
I hope I’m wrong on both counts.
The Lions are my second team, but they are fast becoming a joke…
Still can’t believe they chose Muir over Heyneke earlier on.
I believe Heyneke is the one that made the difference in the Bulls scrummaging this weekend, and what an improvement it was !!!!
Lions, CATCH A WAKE UP FAST !!!!!
Come guys, you are better than this.
And please, get at least a person with matric to handle your contracts in the future !!!

Agree,
the oke who crossed swords with me was a very good friend of many here. But they say give a man enough rope and he will hang himself. He stated many times over there there is only one team and that is the LIONS. Okay be loyal. But like you said above “Being LOYAL is all fine and dandy, but sooner or later one has to open one’s eyes see reality”
But okay thats enough about it i must not use this blog for that.
gbs
Ek kon die naweek nie daai league kompetisie speel nie, kan mens nou verder speel of is ek klaar geflok ?
25@ Blouste – Nee jy kan gerus speel, die kompetisie is lank en ons het eers beginne tel van die Bulle game af, so jy hettie so baie gemis nie.
Nou waar is al die Sharks vandag ?
Lyk my die manne herstel nog na die naweek…
Moes ALWEER die “champers” prop terug druk in die bottel ne… 😆
Ou Ashley
Het jy jou 40 minute van rugby geniet die naweek ?
27 – Blouset 😆 Ek is heer, still feel heart sore about that loss 🙁
If my spelling in afrikaans and my afrikaans not correct ignore. Ek is baie sleg met my afrikaans. But I try.
