    This Bulls side is AWESOME, they must have a great coaching staff….any side who can win so far MUST be very well coached.

    Cheers Carol, stay nr 1, almost finished

  • 221

    At least the Bulls secured 2nd place in the SA Conference tonight… and that’s where they will stay.

    It means there are 3 kakker teams in SA than the Bulls!!

    218 @ superBul:
    Didn’t you draw 1, think against the Chiefs?

  • 223

    214: ons raak nou soos die Stormers, watch ons volgende jaar ! :mrgreen:

  • 224

    @ nortierd:
    @214 Naaah, Bulls ego seriously dented at Newlands, this will take some time, also in light of player losses a la Willemse.
    It is a rebuild, very much along the lines of constructing that famous Irish church….building a new church with the bricks from the old church while the old church is still being used.

    Ha ha
    Dis die Sharks is dit nie “volgende jaar is ons jaar”
    Die Stormers se slogan is “die jaar is ons jaar”

    @ Blue Bird:
    Wild Duck.

    Food ok. Atmosphere nice. Rooms shyte and no mobile signal.

    if you drink Captain Morgan take your own.

    one other rt authour frequented it when he was studying.

  • 228

    Kan iemand my antwoord, wanneer gaan Willemse weg, nou of na die CB ?

  • 229

    @ Pietman:
    So many youngsters purchased as well.
    It’s strange that a guy like Willemse decided to leave, it’s not as if your lock stock is high, Victor, who wasn’t even supposed to be there, and Flip.

    Grasping for straws now?

    Till we get rid of Ludeke we’ll suck

    Can’t you get him a new contract somewhere?

    Or maybe a sponsorship?

    Imagine

    “Frans Ludeke, the new face of Lillets”

    “Unlike at the Bulls, you’ll only see him once a month”

  • 238

    Cheers all.

  • 239

    For a change the Blue Bulls / Bulls will only lose 2 players right now and not 10 like last year!

    Wie gaan Bulle binnesenter speel in Jan se plek in die CB ?
