    Commiserations to the Steers supporters.
    Game was there for the taking.

    It could be a long, long Tour, with the injuries already starting to tally.

    They laugh in the face of injuries, they will just play some of their coaches. No worries

    Stegman and Potgieter returns to South – Africa

    The Vodacom Bulls suffered a double injury blow to their two stalwart loose forwards Deon Stegman and Dewald Potgieter during their first match on tour against the Hurricanes in Napier.

    Both players were forced to leave the field during the match as Stegman injured his groin and Potgieter his bicep.

    Team doctor, Dr Org Strauss confirmed that both players will return to South Africa on Sunday.

    Wimpie van der Walt will be flown over to replace the injured Stegman, whilst a reshuffle amongst the forwards will see Grant Hattingh move to loose forward as replacement for Potgieter and Victor Matfield set to replace Hattingh as lock cover.

    @ nortierd:
    What is with the Blue Bullies camouflage costume?
    Do they think they are on a turkey shoot here in NZ?

    My honest opinion is that it doesn’t look good.
    There is no reason for them to stray from their traditional blue, unless they play away against the Waratahs.
    The camo doesn’t do it for me and I don’t really know what the designers of the Bulls are thinking lately, first the pink and now this.
    Very strange
