    I honestly cannot put better players in any position, remember this is for the weekend, guys the Bulls really sucked, and the Sharks struggled to convince against the Highlanders.
    How Bluebeard can even fathom to place Matfield before Bekker? Even in Testrugby.com Bekker is miles before ANY player in the forwards. This guy is having a blinder!

    I will select Bekker when he learns to tackle at chest height. I said so on matchday and will say it again.
    It doesn’t matter if you are 7f7″ you still have to tackle low. His height gives him an advantage in other areas so he will just have to adapt.

    5. GBS- Dankie vir die help.Ek stem ook saam oor Matfield. Hy was posisioneel skitterend gewees en het vir my net-net daar vir Bekker geklop, maar wat vir my uitgestaan het was sy leierskap onder moeilike omstandighede. Netso glo ek John Smit het geord gedoen op loskop. Waar ons verskil is dit maar persoonlike voorkeure maar ek dink ons sien meeste posisies dieselfde. Doppies het ook goed gedoen onder baie moeilike omstandighede en sou my derde keuse wees na Whitehead- ook goed. Dis net oor Ruan wat ons verskil. Moet se FdP het vir my bietjie gesukkel agv die druk wat van voor af deurgekom het. Pierre het gesukkel in die skrums om die balle te beheer.
    Ek dink die Saint moet weer gaan kyk. Die Bulle was nie naastenby so sleg soos wat hy wil voorgee nie. Die Canes was ‘n ander span as teen die Stormers. Of kyk ek met ‘n glasoog?

    7@ Bluebeard the pirate with the bad heart – hehehehe
    Luckily here on R-T we can differ and still respect the other blogger’s opinions…. elsewhere this won’t happen.
    Personally I think Ruan Peinaar is having a mare of a season, but he did much better this past weekend… and his kicking to posts was also on song.
    I suppose what swung it for me in Fourie du Preez’s favour over the weekend was that almost casual take and mark of the cross-kick up-and-under at a vital stage of the game…. and you cannot fault Fourie du Preez’s positional game, he knows exactly where the next ball will be, much like Naas Botha of old.
    He just has a rugby brain….
    Look, depite the narrow win on Friday, the Bulls are on 24 Log Points out of a total 25, leads the Log with a game in hand, that is just awesome!
    You say you’ve heard that Dewald Potgieter did his ankle about 20 minutes in on Friday, I certainly hope he is OK, maybe you could mail me about that?

    Wat mens ook moet onthou: elke span, hoe goed of swak hul is, wil nou die Bulle wen omdat hul die kampioen span is. Daarom is hul op hul heel heel beste teen die Bulle, selfs die Landers was baie goed teen ons !
    Om die Stormers te wen is ‘n so-so prestasie vir die ander spanne, maar om die Bulle te kan wen, veral op Loftus (elke WP/Stormer se grootste droom in sy rugbylewe), is ‘rugbyheaven’ self !
    Al hierdie feite bevestig opnuut hoe goed die Bulle op hierdie stadium doen, wat tot op hede, elke soort van aanslag suksesvol afgeweer het.
    Go Bulls !

    What no Lions in anyone’s team.
    A bigger traversty of justice I have yet to see in the history of Super Rugby.
    Mind you, the fact that Matfield played his first Super Rugby match for the Cats makes him a closet Lion really!

    I actually watched most of the Sharks game, but by the time the Stormers / Cheetahs came around I’m afraid it was too late even to listen on the radio. The combination of the hot sun, the sh1t golf, and the Captain’s nectar had taken it’s toll I’m afraid.
    I must admit though that the young female Stormers supporters that streamed into the pub in Badplaas were far better looking than the odd chap in orange.
    I thought that the Bulls showed a great deal of character to win their game, and congrat’s to Jeppe who beat KES early on Saturday afternoon.
    Oh yes, let’s not forget the “young Lions” who destroyed that powerhouse of Rugby the “purple people eaters” in the Vodacom Cup.
    Other than that super, I cannot comment. I’m afraid I’m not in the same league of Rugby knowledge as the rest of the esteemed bloggers here on R-T.

    bdb 11- This article by Marc Hinton quotes Colin Cooper as admitting that the Bulls vs Canes game was a huge step up from their Cheetahs and Stormers games in the preceding weeks, so there you have it.

    Tussen die Streamer en Nulle oog klappe het ons maar ‘n taamlike poef keuse van spelers.
    Blyk my die Streamers verstaan darm almal dat hulle ‘n regte kaptein nodig het in Captain Smit.
    Ek wil graag weet wat Bryan Banana gedoen het? En Gary Botha…..regtig, sit eerder vir Earl Rose op hakker. Duane Vermeulen….seker omlat hy ‘n Streamer is.
    Eish, bly julle klomp is nie die Bok selectors nie.

    Superbul 24- Net op 2, 5 en 9 waar ons verskil- 5 en 9 darem my 2de keuse.
    Sien ook jy stem ook op 7 vir Dewald Potgieter. Ek dink hy is besig om baie vinnig na vore te tree. Moet se Juan Smith was vir my bietjie stillerig Saterdag. Kan wees dat hy nie sy gewone game kan speel met Brussow nie daar nie, veral toe Frans Viljoen ook af is. Moes seker maar vaster speel.
    How het jy dit gesien?

    BB Juan Smith was ‘n yster tot viljoen afgegaan het. Hy het vleuels geduik, opgestaan en die bal ontvanger getackle. Dis ook ironies dat die Stormers die oorhand gekry het toe viljoen af is.

    Ek glo vas dat as niks op die beserings front gebeur nie is Dewalt ons opvolger vir Victor Matfield. Die Bulle het deur die jare nog altyd leiers soos hy gekies, manne wat lei met voorbeeld. Flip Dewalt speel hard. Ek dink dat baie ouens Spies voortydig afskryf. Spies word baie keer vroeg gespeel deur ouens wat die onkantlyn beproef.
    Pedrie sal iets spectacular moet doen om volgende jaar Van Veldze uit die S14 groep te hou. En dan lyk Kuun vir my meer op vorm as Steggies, maar Steggies is bleddie goed gee hom net kans. Dis ongelooflik hoeveel talent ons het.

    Ek stem- sal bietjie kyk vir wat jy se oor Spies wat vroeg gevat word deur ouens wat die onkantlyn beproef. En ja, ek stem oor Kuun en Steggies, maar seker agv die rotasie roes. En moet se ek ys as P3 opkom. Daar is ‘n tayd wanneer ervaring alleen net nie meer genoeg is nie. Dis hartseer, maar ek wens meer ouens will FdP se voorbeeld volg.

    Kyk ek is n groot P3 man, maar het vroeer in die seisoen gese hy moet iets nuuts bring na sy game. Hy is solid en ervare en as die game gewen is seker die safeste ou. Maar self doen hy nie meer uitsonderlike goed nie. Maar hy het n mooi “comeback gemaak” nie dat hy ooit missing was nie ne. LOL
    Sal hom byderhand hou as n slot reserwe. Iets wat hy al met sukses vir ons gedoen het.
