@ grootblousmile:263 – gbs, What you mean arrogant Sharkies huh???? hehehehe.
Your Bulls played well in the 2nd half, very good comeback. Said my congrats last night.
Who is coming back for Bulls from the Boks? All Bok contracted players are not going to play CC.
Think in the Sharks we will only have Kanko coming back. Not too sure. I know we will lose Bismarck to the Boks this week. All Contracted Boks are going on a conditioning course from next week from what I have read.
Think most that have played in the 3 Nations should first take a 10day complete break first.
