| 79 | Free kick to the Bulls for early infringement. Tap and go. Last chance saloon. Holding on by the Bulls! That should be it! Cooper clears |
| 77 | Tap and go. Wide to Van der Heever who can’t control a poor pass by Steyn. Is that all she wrote? |
| 76 | Stegmann with a good run. The flag is up…Chambers called out for a high tackle. The Bulls take it quickly. Another penalty 5m out and a warning |
| 74 | It goes wide to Kirchner who’s tackled into touch. Cooper finds touch from the resulting lineout |
| 73 | Crucial turnover on the ground and Du Preez kicks down field. The steal another one and win a penalty for diving over. Attacking lineout |
| 71 | The Bulls are caught offside 48m out. It’s out of Cooper’s range so he finds touch |

| 70 | Try: Pedrie Wannenburg |
| 70 | Missed Conversion: Morne Steyn |
| 69 | They maul it up and win a penalty as the Reds collapse. Here we go with another lineout and driving maul. Wannenburg loses it in contact |
| 67 | The Bulls need to get going. They win a penalty and Steyn sets up the lineout. They have to score from here |
| 65 | Missed Penalty: Quade Cooper |
| 64 | Hands in the ruxck by the Bulls. Cooper will try his luck from about 47m out on the angle |

| 57 | Genia clean through but his offload to Ioane doesn’t go to hand |
| 56 | Kirchner slices a kick straight into touch, poor error! |

| 52 | The Reds wheel a tired looking Bulls pack and win a scrum feed |
| 50 | Penalty: Quade Cooper |
| 49 | Stegmann, in his first play, concedes a kickable penalty for tackling Braid in the air, silly stuff |

| 30 | Missed Conversion: Quade Cooper |
| 29 | Try: Scott Higginbotham |

| 27 | Davies tries a chip but it’s out on the full |
| 26 | Spies and Du Preez combine to put Potgieter into space who makes 30m. He stays down – looks to be injured – so Steyn goes for a drop but it’s wide |
| 25 | Good interplay by the Reds but the Bulls are defending well. It’s spilt and Du Preez belts down field. Again they run it back. Knock on. What an electric and high pace start |
| 21 | Genia puts Braid into space but the Bulls secure a turnover penalty on the deck |
| 19 | Missed Penalty: Quade Cooper |
| 18 | Collapsing the maul was Matfield. Cooper will have a shot |

| 14 | Kirchner settles things down with a good touch finder |
| 13 | Penalty against the Reds at the resulting scrum but Steyn doesn’t find touch. The Reds run it back into the 22m. Cooper tries to stab a kick through but it’s straight into a Bulls player. Wrong option |

| 8 | Ruthless defence by the Bulls, forcing the Reds into touch |
| 7 | Conversion: Morne Steyn |
| 6 | Try: Derick Kuun |
| 5 | Genia and Cooper proving elusive early on. Kirchner cuts straight through and finds Olivier who’s brought down. Potgieter runs strong. Kuun snipes and he’s over! Try time! |
| 3 | Hynes sparks a counter-attack. Houston sets off but he puts a foot in touch. Full of running are the Reds |
| 1 | Here we go…the Bulls field a grubber kick-off. Steyn finds touch but Hynes takes it quickly and ultimately they find touch 30m out from the Bulls line |
| 0 | It’s time for the big one – the Reds v the Bulls in Brisbane |
btw de jong is technically a better inside center than olivier, the stats prove it. Stop making him out to be an outside center when you know well and good thats jaques position.
We’re not choosing Springbok teams here… we’re analizing the games of 1 (ONE) weekend!
For the Bokke, there’s a whole other situation, consistency in form over the whole season counts!
Here for instance Joe Pietersen would get my nod as No 15, Morne Steyn would still get the nod as Flyhalf, Fourie du Preez still as scrumhalf, Spies still as No 8…
Best 3 Hookers… Liebenberg, Gary Botha & Deon Fourie… with an honourable mention of Adriaan Strauss.
ja, maar Naas was Naas en hy was losskakel, nie heelagter nie. Soos ek genoem het, Aplon speel goed, maar ek verkies ‘n heelagter wat meer as 30 kg weeg.
FS of Zane vir bokke.
31@ Wez – Juan de Jongh was the worst Stormer backline player of the week, yet still the best No 12 of the weekend…. OF THE WEEKEND, that’s all!
aplon plays his hart out and dont put a foot wrong yet your nominee is joe. Joe cant just walk into the team now that grant took over the kicking duties.
GBS, miskien moet ons ‘n span kies vir elke naweek en ‘n ‘springbok barometer’ span, d.w.s. hoe sal elkeen se bokspan lyk na elke naweek ?

Jy sien ons ek het die post geplaas oor die Bulle se gesukkel wat fout is by ons nou vergelyk ons individue wat in n goeie span poging goed gevaar het met ons manne. Ek se jou die Bulls span wat vandag gespeel het verskil nie veel van die een wat 50 talle opgestel het vroeg in die seisoen nie.
Nou is die Stormers op daai vlak. Ons het geval na omtrent 60% van ons vermoe. Hoe ons weer tot by 90%+ kan kom is wat ek graag wil weet. Dit is waaroor ware Bul supporters hul stem moet dik maak. Miskien moet ons vir HM en FL se dat hy die Flokken manne moet rus. Daar is nog genoeg tyd om peak te bereik. Maar dan moet ons Maandag daaraan en daartoe begin werk.
35@ Wez – Opinions are like arseholes…. you’ve got one, I’ve got one… get used to it!
35: sal jy nokaldiebalevuki behou in jou span ? gedink jy ken nie jou rugby nie … nou weet ek dit ! 😉
Joe P op heelagter, Appeltjie op vleuel, baie goeie agterste driehoek.
juan didnt play kak. Why the hell do you use the word worse. he defended well and it was a team victory. de jongs time to shine will come. look what happened in the force game when we used whithead…..btw who do you think made jaque look good.
36@ BiDiBiDi – Ja, daar’s ‘n mooooooooooooosa verskil tussen die “Naweekspan” en die “Springbok Barometer span”
Wat wel so is, is dat konstante vorm soos die van Andries Bekker dalk beloon moet word en dat hy dalk nou al vir Matfield lig…..
So ook met ander posisies…. daar kan dalk heelwat minder Sharks in die Bok barometer span wees as wat verlede jaar in die Bokke was….
thank god the shadow hype blew over. it was starting to get to me
Well for what it is worth. I like Aplon and agree with Wezwp, Joe just can not walk back into the Stormer FB position. Grant is kicking brilliant and Aplon is playing fantastic rugby.
Just have to wait until the Stormers are back and see. I think they should beat the Reds next week too. They keep possession it is bye bye Reds.
For the future I like Lambie for FB think he is going to be a great. Still very young only 19 and already playing superb. Give him another year there.
maak die wp frontrow almal bokke dan is ek happy.
37: super, hou goeie moed, kom ons kyk eers wat gebeur teen Leeus, as ons daar sukkel om te wen, dan kan ons die rooi knoppie begin nader trek ! 😉
Maar, ek dink ons super span het so hoë standaard daar gestel einde laas seisoen, vanaf Sharks wedstryd tot en met finaal, dat dit nou baie moeilik is om heeltyd daardie standaard te hou.
Ek soek nie verskonings vir hul swak wedstrydplan huidiglik of swak vorm van sekere spelers nie, maar kom ons kyk eers wat gebeur oor die volgende 2 weke.
Die Bulle sal terug wees, hou dop !
40@ Wez – Jaque made Jaque look good.
You don’t read very well do you… I never said Juan de Jongh was a bad player, not even on his game this weekend… I said he was OUTSHONE by 6 other Stormers backline players (worst = an easy word to use in the context), yet he was still the best No 12 from SA on the weekend, yip that’s right… better than Wynand Olivier, Riaan Swanepoel, Doppies Le Grange and the Cheetahs dude….
The biggest loser of the Sharks /snoiL game was Dick Muir, after being publicly criticised by one of the smart alec management of the snoiL at the min-snoiL game last night in the interview with Owen.
Then they still wonder why they can’t win with management like that, no integrity.
min-snoiL = mini-snoiL aka the voda cup squad (not so Golden snoiL)
thanks puma for thinking with your head and not your heart. Gio joins the line perfectly at fullback that ishis position for now. You can’t sub the guy after producing match winning performances two weeks in a row.
42; wessie, ons laster nie hier nie, as jy dit wil doen, is keo die plek om te wees my vriend.
41; andries speel nou skitterend, maar ek sal begin met vic, en as hy as bok ook sukkel, dan vir andries begin. Dieselfde geld vir al die bokke wat nou in die sitplekke is.
Dankie bdb
you used the word worst to describe his performance(read up). His performance was anything but worse.
bdb
ek weet ons gaan verbeter ek het laaaanal gese ons gaan 3 games verloor , maar as die span nou begin met n opwaartse kurwe sal dit nie saak maak as ons nog een verloor nie. Ons gaan nie Loftus he nie, dus moet ons net sorg dat ons peak.
50@ BiDiBiDi – Jy weet ek respekteer Vic mooosa baie…. as jy dit nou nog nie weet nie, skip jy my posts elke week…. maar Andries Bekker speel al uit sy vel sedert die EOY Tour laasjaar.
Daar’s nou een ou wat ek bitter stadig aan gewoond geraak het, nou is ek verplig, want mens kan sy vorm nie miskyk nie.
Dat daar sielle is wat dink Bekker kan nou sommer Nr 4 slot ook speel, sal ek mee stry… die man is ‘n Nr 5 en klaar!
only thing that pissed me off in the game was when our scrummie kicked the ball three times after each other to the touchline and found 5 meters everytime.
52@ Wez – Flok ou, gaan lees die sin… “WORST of the BACKLINE AT THE STORMERS”
Wat de flok verstaan jy nie?
Daar was 6 ouens beter as hy…. dan was hy mos “worst of the 7”.
Jy redeneer nou soos ‘n passer, al om jou eie gat!
54: weet, ons het nog lekker met bekker gespot tot einde laasjaar, nou is hy een van die bestes. Soos WO, het hy sy kritici die laaste tyd stil gespeel.
Maar dit alles gesê, dit is soos Smittie, al is hy nie op sy heel beste nie, drop jy hom nie sommer uit jou bokspan nie. Vic is die die beste tegniese slot wat ek nog ooit in my lewe gesien het, bedoelende om lynstane te lees en te oorheers, daarom sal hy daar moet wees. Ek sien nog nie daardie lynstaan oorheersing en finesse by Bekker nie.
Dit is my mening op hierdie stadium, sal nie kwaad wees as Bekker begin nie, maar dink nog steeds Vic moet begin. Na 15 Mei sal ons beter weet in elk geval.
49 – Wezwp, I don’t think Aplon will get subbed. He has played superb rugby. I enjoy watching him play. Tiny but punches above that all the time. Huge guts and fearless. Good speed and gets through the defence too. Great player.
ag i give up. can’t wait for the Stormer/crusaders final at newlands. we peaking at just the right time. the signs were there when we annihilated teams at newlands early in the competition.
59@ Wez – Be careful not to pre-ejaculate !
Jou vrou, girl of boyfriend sal jou moer…
4 Tough weeks waiting…. Stormers and Bulls both play the Saders, Sharks and each other….. lots of water to flow into the sea still!
