    Stem saam. En daar le een van die Leeus se grootste probleme.

    Jaar na jaar is die lynstaan een van hulle swak punte. Bezuidenhout het nie te k@k ingegooi nie Vrydag, maar was ook nie briljant nie.

    Probleem vir die Leeus is, kom hulle volgende jaar terug in SR, en hulle koop ie n paar TOP spelers, gaan hulle weer sukkel.

    Ah wel, soos hulle in Engels se, “We live in hope, and die in vain.”

    en die jokes begin al klaar rondvlieg…

    Voel jy moeg, teleurgesteld, afgemat en gatvol? Soek jy rustigheid, kalmte, vrede, ‘n wegbreek naweek, groen gras en blou lug? Ou tjom, dan is Loftus volgende Saterdag NET die plek vir jou….daar sal niemand wees nie!!

    386 & 388 @ Gena_ZA:
    Dankie Gena… het jou Skype boodskap ook gekry, dankie.

    Ja, Super Rugby is verby vir die Bulls en vir SA, nou moet ons die res van die jaar aanpak met durf.

    Die Bulls verloor ‘n emmer vol spelers oorsee en natuurlik die res na die Bokke toe, so die Blue Bulls Curriebeker span gaan maar beroerd lyk!

    Dalk iets soos die:

    15 Clayton Blommetjies
    14 Akona Ndungane
    13 Ulrich Beyers
    12 Handré Pollard
    11 Cournal Skosan
    10 Jurgen Visser / Willie du Plessis / Handré Pollard
    9 Rudi Paige / Lohan Jacobs / Ruan Snyman
    8 Jono Ross
    7 Jean Cook
    6 Deon Stegmann (Kaptain)
    5 Grant Hattingh / Mike Williams
    4 Paul Willemse
    3 Werner Kruger / Frik Kirsten
    2 Bongi Mbonambi / Kallie Visagie
    1 Dean Greyling / Morné Mellett

    Dis basies ‘n Vodacom span met ‘n paar Super Rugby elemente!

    So is Kallie Visagie nou ‘n volle Bul en weg by die Lions?

    @ Gena_ZA:
    I thought his contract at the Lions ran until October, but I see he’s not listed on the Lions website, so who knows?

    Mind you, the “new and improved” Lions website is anything but improved IMO.

    I think the Blue Bulls are busy signing him for future use.

    I hope they sort out his lineout throwing!

    All is well here mate and thank you. The brumbies have surprised me and GBS…. GBS that an Aussie team got over his beloved at the bull pen. 😆

    The bulls were camped in brumby territory from the 60th minute to the 74th minute for nearly 100% of the time for a reward of 3 points. Soon as they scored the penalty brumbies scored a try within 2 and a half minutes. During this time the bulls did not get out of their territory.

    To me it’s obvious what the tactic should have been. Potgieter should not have bowed to pressure.
