Yeah, but every so often they just manage to turn it on… so it’ll be bloody tough for the Bulls!
Prince Harry, (a big rugby fan,) will be in attendance at tomorrows Canes/Guppies encounter.
Making it a right Royal occasion.
A pity that the crowd attendance will be modest.
yeah, but will Harry be modest; will he be clothed? 🙂
So the “rabble” move above the lions, real play off contenders this year
Stormers will expect the rebels to be an easy game in two weeks… but I am not so sure.
@ MacroSssss:
Definitely a surprise package this year and no easy beats.
They are not always spectacular, but are very efficient, but once they have a decent lead they can cut loose and score some very good tries.
Higgenbotham is in great form for them and they have that nr 10 who can slot goals from miles out
@ MacroSssss:
I agree with you, but if AC will only wake up he can strenghten his squad considerably by bringing Jaco Taute, Pat Howard, Rob du Preez, and Godlem Masimla into the equation at the expense of Leyts, Kotze, Coleman and Schreuder.
@ robzim:
Can’t see that happening.
The squad won’t change too much, maybe Taute will come in if he is ok after playing the WP match, and perhaps Pat too, but only because they were initially part of the planning.
AC won’t drop Coleman, irrispective of whether he regains his confidence or not
@ robzim:
I think mass changes will do more harm than good to be honest, AC should just play the cards he has in his hand this year, they are still likely to win the conference unless there is a massive fuck up… so he should stick to what he has while they are still in contention.
Been a big learning curve for Kotze – the lad has a good future and I would stick with him.
Am a big fan of Pat Howard – how WP let him go, I’ll never know. But that’s WP for you.
@ IAAS:
Pat tasted what is on the other side of the ocean, and will never ever surpass Juan and DDA at WP, the people would never allow it.
@ MacroSssss:
As long as he comes back. As a better player with more experience.
My concern is the guys wanting to qualify for other countries.
Of any franchise.
