@ Puma:
Cheers Pooms.
210 @ Ben:
Ja, JJE na vleuel, William Small-Smith op 13 en Akona na 15.
209: Wiaan Liebenberg en Roelof Smit wat albei vir Tuks speel is beter, maar hopelik is Stegmann reg.

Don’t know Liebeneberg or Smit. Stegmann is pretty average.
calie het n goeie game gehad. ek dink die bulle het nie bietjie leierskap nodig gehad voor. en agter met n loskakel… jlp het n paar foute gemaak. maar hy sit nie ons hele span onder geweldige druk nie.
@ Loosehead:
wel stegman was largely a key figure when the bulls dominated super rugby… so logic tells me he is slightly above average.
215: jammer oor sy beserings, maar as hy fiks is, gaan hy baie vir die Bulle beteken. Bulle kort nog ‘n goeie back up 6, ek hoop maar Roelof Smit kom deur of die Bulle doen inkopies.

Oh please, he is a very average fetcher and gives away way too many penalties. He is better than Luke Watson. That I will give you.
Ashwin Willemse so bietjie gedrink ? Eers dink hy Bulle gaan toer en nou dink hy Bulle moet 4de op log lê ?
219: nog elke keer as hy teen Brussow gespeel het, het hy hom ore aangesit, feite.
@ Loosehead:
ok if you say so haha
@ Ben:
brussouw was laasjaar nie eers die beste fetcher in sy eie span nie.
223: ja, Coenie en Adriaan is hul beste fetchers.
Still 2 Geldenhuyse on top of the Rugby-Talk Super Rugby 2014 SuperBru Pool.
Cousin Atta obviously picked the Bulls and I did not, so he’s leading now.
Come on you Non-Geldenhuyse… chase us down because once we get a head of steam up, there’s no catching a Geldenhuys!
@ grootblousmile:
Maak oop die oe ouchoppie lol, kek wie is get op jou spoor
En baie geluk Bulle en ondersteuners, and I atleast had faith in the Bulls, unlike some of their supporters, so I mad
e some points
@ grootblousmile:
@ Sharks_forever:Now listen here both of you!
Forget if you will where I’m standing (lying?) right now, I just looked @ my ‘Bru profile now & will be earning my 100th cap since joining ‘Bru in Aug last year…so be warned…BB’s “golden era” is about to begin!!!
(Hic!)
Very well played Bulls. By far the better team on the day. Played the conditions very well, whilst the Lions didn’t seem to have the intensity of the previous week.
If the Lions have a similar evening in Deben next week it could be a hiding of note.
Now excuse me while I do some work then off to site in Midvaal mid-morning.
@ MacroBull:
@ Ben:
I admire the loyalty that you Bulls supporters show towards your average players like Greyling, Visagie, Kruger, Ross, Stegman, Spies, Fouche and Visser.
Keep the faith manne, keep the faith!
@ Loosehead:
no not at all. if you woke up youd realize that we have expressed disappointment in most of those selections. but stegman is a very good player. certainly not average. and was instrumental in the bulls winning the super 14. if they are all so shit then we in south africa are blessed with horrible rugby players in general.
