You mean no Bulls in the Boks. See what you mean!
@ BrumbiesBoy:
As long as we do not have to pass through that convict capital with its tailless jackasses and bald hookers on our way to Brisbane
Hoop enige planne om Jacq Fourie terug te bring is nou verby.
Ellende, Kriel, JDV, Jan en Mapoe is genoeg.
@ IAAS:
Yip, Duane is the man we need.
183 @ Ben-die-Bul:
Ja, definitief.
Pollard’s kicking has to sharpen up. Yes he set up the last try.
But he kicked aimlessly downfield at times and failed to find touch. That is not good enough – in fact basic errors of a fly half.
181 @ IAAS:
Huh?
Where do you draw that inference from??
I count quite a few Bulls:
Trevor Nyakane, Adriaan Strauss, Matfield, Handré Pollard, Jesse Kriel….
@ grootblousmile:
Moenie vir JJ te gou afdkryf nie hoor! HM smaak daai klong erg.
Dink HM gaan vandag se span netso kies vir volgende week.
Dalk net met Lambie begin op 10, en Schalk op agsteman.
Watter ander veranderinge ?
Fransie of Mapoe in JDV se plek as reserwe, want hy moet nog rus.
188 @ Pietman:
Ag seblief tog nie (ek dink Heyneke het ook finaal wakker geword tot die besef)… JJ behoort nie eers in die Bulls Super Rugby groep nie, hy sal selfs sukkel in die Currie Cup… hy is Vodacom Cup kwaliteit… hy en Jurgen Visser.
188:
189 @ Ben-die-Bul:
Ek dink nie jy is vêr verkeerd nie.
Fransie Steyn is mos terug Sharks toe, so hy sal seker vir Mapoe intrek.
Frans Malherbe, Scarra Ntubeni, Franco Mostert en Cornal Hendricks sal seker ook saam toer… so ook miskien Lwazi Mvovo.
If Duanne is not available, then I would have a serious look at playing Alberts at 8. I wasn’t impressed with Whiteley but I suppose it’s hardly fair to write him off after one match.
193 @ Stormersboy:
Duane still has 9 weeks of rehab after operation, so we’ll see a different No 8 all during The Rugby Championship.
@ grootblousmile:
Yes, it will be interesting to see who Meyer backs as his no 2
195 @ Stormersboy:
I’d back Schalla as No 8, with Whiteley as backup.
I’m not impressed by Willem Alberts anymore… more injured than playing!
@ Stormersboy:
Howzit mate – looks like Alberts injury is long term – and won’t make it to the WC.
That brings Schalk into the equation – don’t rule him out at 8. I think HM might be thinking in that direction.
As jy Louw en Marcel speel, moet jy ‘n groter baldraende agsteman kies. Whiteley is goed, maar meer een wat ‘n skakel is tussen voor en agter, nie iemand wat ons oor die voordeellyn gaan kry nie.
Daarom moet ons hoop Duane is reg, of Alberts kom reg.
Wie weet, dalk weer ‘n slot op agtsteman, dink aan Andrews in 1995, en Daniesourus (what a legend!) in 2007.
En wie sal ek daar kies as Duane nie reg is nie. Schalk of …..
PSDT !
Maar ek is bevrees, dat eendag as hul hom gaan vra wie was sy grootste teenstander op die veld, dan gaan hy sê:
Beserings !
@ IAAS:
I agree with Rudi and yourself about Schalk, but I doubt whether Heynecke has enough imagination to play Schalk there through the RC, which is the minimum needed. I watched Schalk play there before and he didn’t look all that comfortable to be honest.
Today was an experiment for HM.
Next week is the real deal.
When HM shows his cards.
Tomorrow I’ll be doing a Bru Pool for The Rugby Championship as well as one for the Currie Cup… been threatening to do them for 10 days now, just have not had the extra time to do it.
So, tomorrow while Handbriekie & BonzaiHandbriekie is at their restaurant… I will give attention to that and a number of other thingies I have not had time for!
200 @ IAAS:
We know Heyneke does not chop and change much from 1 game to the next… that’s how we’ve come to know him for all these years.
He’s the ultimate Mr consistency and continuity…. sometimes even too conservatively so.
So, do not expect a huge moving away from today’s match 23 for next week or for the broader Rugby Championship.
Some half-injured players will be added as they get ready, that we also know.
Apart from Lock, No 8 and finalizing the centres, I recon Heyneke Meyer’s Rugby World Cup group is relatively cast in stone already.

Even though Britney says he is still available – if needed, which hopefully won’t be the case.
Suddenly there is a lack of top class 8’s in this country. Amazing seeing that Vermeulen was called a donkey, a carthorse, a fattie etc.
Just shows the lack of an 8 who read the game – where the next play will be and after that – and cover the ground.
You only miss players like that when they’re not there.
Wie gaan AUS se senters wees, ervare manne soos Beale en Ashley ?
Gaan HM waag met nuwe jong senters teen hulle, of gaan hy terugval op ervare senters soos Fransie en Jan en dalk JJP ?
Ek hoop regtig hy volhard met Ellende en Kriel, gee hul die groot toets en kyk of hul slaag in beide verdediging en aanval.
Hier is my span,
Lambie
Willie
Kriel
Ellende
Habana
Pollard
Pienaar
Burger
Louw
Marcel
Vic
Eben
Malherbe
Bissie
Trevor
Beast
Strauss
Koch
Flip
Whiteley
Reinach
Frans
Mapoe/JJP
Wie het ek gemis ?
Springbok’s best chance to win the RC this year….only 3 games, and Boks only play 1 away and have two in a row in SA.
Aus also have 2 home games, but have to travel to Argentina in between playing the Boks and AB’s at home.
Both AB’s and Arg only have one home game
@ IAAS:
100% as you say, conspicuous by his absence.
Get well soon Duane!!
205 @ Ben-die-Bul:
Gittau is ook weer terug in die prentjie
@ Ben-die-Bul:
Cornall Hendricks ipv Willie, dalk?
204: Wel, ou Duane was so paar jaar terug ‘n vettie, stadig, en het nie veel beteken nie. Maar hy het sy gat in rat gekry en is nou tans seker een van die beste agstemanne in die wereld.
So was Spies ook een van die bestes tussen 2007 – 2010, maar daarna sleg terug gesak. Op huidige vorm sal ek hom nie eers kies vir die Bulle se CC span nie, dink Handre Liebenberg is baie beter, so ook Arno Botha, al sukkel hy weer om aan die gang te kom.
