A four week suspension is what Bakkies received after his hearing as we all read on a previous thread. Is it fair ? Look at the footage and read further on the rule that was applicable…

Citing Commissioner Freek Burger cited Botha under Law 10.4 (h) for dangerously and recklessly entering a ruck without using his arms or grasping a player. Botha made contact with Stormers right wing Gio Aplon in the second minute of the match.

I for one clearly see his arm making contact with the player basicly simultaneously as the rest of his body or head. Also what about he Stormer player entering the ruck just a split second after Bakkies ? I don’t see much of a difference. Surely Bakkies entered from the side and was rightly penalised. A 4 week suspension, you decide…

I’ve added another clean by Bakkies to draw comparisons for those who would be interested.

    durban @ 54
    tend to agree there
    think his previous ban was taken into consideration … not sure how it works
    anyway, the concensus amongst the guys who watched the game with me was a definate ban
    guys just differed about the time (1 – 2 weeks)
    most guys thought (or should i say hope) that they would be more lenient with him because its at the end of the season (semis time)
    seems like we were wrong on that count

    Kan jy nie daai BLOU trui op photoshop GROEN maak, dan kan Saint en Ash ook sien wat ons sien nie 😆

    Blouste

    Ek is seker julle gaan my vertel as dit Schalk was teen Shadow dan sou alles OK gewees het, want Shadow is tougher en Schalk is so ‘n voorbeeldige speler.

    Strooi man, al hoekom julle so aangaan is omdat Bakkies ‘n bul is. Never mind die aanloop, vlieende arm, voete in die lug of die headbut nie…almal is mos teen julle, ag shame.

    dieselfde een wat ek oor jp bel praat……

  • 67

    Ok, let’s accept that the whole of SANZAR including all officials and other SA team have always been against you. Can you guys give me a good and credible reason why this is so?

  • 68

    OK, so we have to distinct sides being taken here…

    Bulls in one camp… and Stormers in one camp

    Let me say this, none of you guys are OBJECTIVE…. it’s as clear as day…

    Durban Bul,

    I am not fighting, just getting a bit fed up with this whole poor Bakkies thing, he is a veteran Springbok and Bluebull, he knows the rules, he knows he’s guilty. I hope he follows JP Nel overseas, because he is becoming an embarrasment

  • 70

    independent freek burger???? Dis hokom die bulle hul b span gespeel het….. Was te slim vir ou freek en sy streke…lol NOU DIE BLOU!!!!

    I beg to differ…

  • 72

    Nee wat Saint.

    Ek dink die ding is buite verband geplaas, glad nie so erg nie.

    Miskien raak rugby bietjie sag ja… 😯

    Maar dit kan ons seker van julle Stormpies verwag 😉

  • 73

    Durban Bull…he is exactly as independant as Marius Jonker…

  • 74

    71@ Saint – Please don’t beg…. hehehe

  • 75

    saint jy wens bakkies gaan dat fairy boy bekker kan plek kry…. Hy ken die reels en volgens my het hy een stel reels en die ander spelers n ander stel reels as dit by die euck kom

    You know right is right. Obviously 4 weeks sound excessive, but that is up to the panel. The citing was fair, no question.

  • 77

    Durban…

    Bekker sal Matfield nog vervang, geen probleem daar nie. Ek dink Flip van der Merwe is Bakkies se opvolger….

  • 78

    Bekker cannot replace Bakkies… he’s a No 5 lock, not a No 4…

  • 79

    Nope, I’m outa here…

  • 80

    En vir die rekord ek se nie iemand is teen die Bulle nie, dalk teen Bakkies, dieselfde met daai “clean-out” teen die Lions.

    Daar is BAIE spelers wat soortgelyke “cleans” maak en nooit word enige woord daaroor gerep nie !!! 🙄

    Bakkies Botha = Luke Watson

    Hang af wie jy vra?

  • 83

    76@ Saint – Your opinion…

    How soft must rugby become before everybody is satisfied?

    We’re not playing ring-a-ring-a-rosies…. or are we?

    Bakkies needs to work on his rucking technique, that much I’ll concede…. because that’s where he repeatedly gets pinged…

  • 84

    82@ Saint – No need to insult Bakkies that badly…

  • 85

    puke????? How can you even put them in the same sentance?????? bekker will only replace victor when victor steps down……

    Dangerous play was never supposed to be part of rugby. There is a difference between hard and dangerous.

  • 87

    @ 82

    Thats about the first thing you said that made sense 😆

  • 88

    Maar dit hang af WIE vra jy…

  • 89

    69: Saint, daardie soort van opmerking wys net hoe totaal subjektief jy is, dat jy so ‘n legende wil weg wens uit ons land. Dit wys duidelik uit dat jy met jou stormers brille en stormers kontaklense en stormers sonbrille na die hele insident kyk.

    Jy het jou mening saam met elke ander stormer, soos ons bulle ons menings het, maar hou op met hierdie ‘ek is objektief en julle is nie’ mite.

    Jou vooroordele teen die Bulle, laat jou dinge sien en afleidings maak, sonder dat jy besef hoe diep dit in jou rugbybril ingegroef is.

    Ek vra weereens: hoekom is bv Shadow uitgewys en geskors en nie ook Franks nie. Kyk mooi wat ek sê: Shadow was verkeerd, maar wat van Franks ?

    Dus, die kleur van jou trui het ‘n baie groot invloed of jy uitgewys en geskors gaan word. Feite, my vriend, feite. Maak vrede daarmee.

    Saint

    Was daai ander “clean out” jy weet die een wat NIE teen die Stormers was nie ook gevaarlik in jou opinie ?
