Suggestions that Meyer is going to recall FdP as Captain of ‘Boks, your thoughts? Mine, excellent if we are going to go with the attitude of winning every match, but somehow I have this niggle in the back of my mind that it really is time for some new blood in certain areas, and cannot help but think that this is one of those positions.

I also think it’s time for the Hougie era… Fourie du Preez was great, and a great servant to SA Rugby, Springbok Rugby and the Bulls.
In the last season though, after his shoulder operation he was’nt his old self, still good but not the game breaker we were used to.
Hougie, to me, is one of those game breaker types, who always gives more than 100%…
Hello all,
my opinion is that at 30 years FduP is not in his prime yet, he was badly injured and if he recovered completely he will the most experienced , brilliant and solid scrumhalf in the world. Hougie is way younger and he can wait a while for the king to depart.
Honestly i would always love to have both in my match 22, whether Hougie starts or FduP does not matter
Is this site slow today? Both my PCs refresh slowly on RT, is their something wrong?
Other sites refresh like lightning.

I’m busy with site maintenance and busy clearing cache stores
4@ superBul:Was just going to say the same thing, and now it seems back to normal again, thanks GBS!
Site Maintenance done, let’s see how it goes now…
@ Just For Kicks:
I thought he did not pay his rent
Seems quick now…
I have to do maintenance every so often… there’s lots of stuff I have to do that you guys don’t even know about.
@ superBul:
already fast, very fast
10 @ superBul:
See, there’s a reason behind EVERYTHING!
Like anything, a site builds up a bit of a history, some garbage… everything affects load speeds

Kickers… did Barry ever send you mail regarding the Awards Function.
Was he reasonable or did he want too much?
13 @ Just For Kicks:
Mallet wears GBS pajamas….
I wonder if Wales can kick on from their very good World Cup performances…
Ireland was’nt shabby either in the World Cup
Players coming out onto the pitch.
Damn I like the Welsch Anthem, always gives me goosebumps
14@ grootblousmile:No, perhaps they thought better of the idea.

Put up a flag to warn us, just not a Blue Bul flag, i see on my FB somebody found that photos of a BB wedding , where the girl and her whole entourage wears blue and the car and the groom is blue, those 10 year old strooi, and rekindled their dislike of the Bulls, calling us common and vlak and many other names.
Guess who?
K9, Karin, Niel… Eish they are so envious, they just cant help themself.
Hanging onto those photos for 10 years makes one think..
Looks like there will be some handshaking before the Anthems
17@ grootblousmile:The anthem, and songs in Cardiff Arms Park made it the best stadium that I have ever been to. Agree, anthem is awesome
18 @ Just For Kicks:
Fark, I would have known if they had changed their minds, BonzaiHandbriekie was under the impression that Barry had sent you mail… I asked her this afternoon.
I’ll speak to her about it.
Welsch Anthem….
Is this match the first to get the red carpet treatment, I wonder?
JFK, you must be glad you missed that part of WP support. They could not see their teams short comings and decided to start their own blog site, dead as a donkey by now, nothing happening there, gone in obscurity.
19 @ superBul:
Ag, vat dit maar van waar dit vandaan kom….
22@ grootblousmile:OK, but it’s no hassle, really.
@ grootblousmile:
23
sound muted, sad
Ireland Anthem…
Also one of the good ones in the World
