    Willa,
    Dankie vir daai artikel op jul web blad, R.E.S.P.E.C.T, ek lees julle blad gereeld. Dankie dat jy guts het. Ek sou graag daar wou chat maar ek is ongelukkig geban oor iets uiters onskadelik.
    My woorde is ongelukkig besig om waar te word , maar ek het gedink julle sou stil word na n paar verlore, nou raak die ouens nasty, beledigend en toon min respek vir staatmaker Bokke soos onder andere Jaque Fourie.
    Miskien sal jou artikel die manne weer regruk, DANKIE vir jou het ek RESPEK.

    Jou deelname hier is aangenaam, voel vry om by ons te chat.

    Tans speel die Bulle ongelooflike rugby, nie eens die stoerste Bul ondersteuner sou geld op n comeback geplaas het na die telling 17-0 was nie. Ja ek het geglo en gewens, maar my huis daarop sit, aikona.

    Loosy ek sou nou glad nie Habana gekies het nie veral nie op 14 nie, hy het sooooo drooggemaak die naweek en soveel penalties weggegee, hy was vir my uiters teleurstellend gewees. Ek is mal oor Habana glo my maar kan nei verstaan wat aangaan nie…….die goeie ding wat ek kan se is dat dit lyk nie eitnlik of die Bulle hom veel mis nie, dit was vir my voor die seisoen ‘n groot bekommernis gewees, die leemte wat hy gaan agterlaat.

  • 6

    Ek is nog te moer in vir die Cheeters en Stormers om ‘n span te kies.

    En die Bulls het ook eers na 20 minute wakker geword. As dit gebeur in ‘n weg wedstryd of teen die Crusaders, dan gaan hulle verloor.

    En Steyb se afskoppe was heeltyd te diep! Ek hoop Ludike dril die :pooh: uit hul uit vanoggend.

    Danie struggled at 8 this weekend.
    Steggman made a difference when he came on…
    G.van den Heever must work on his defence…seriously !!!

    But all in all, the Bulls got to rest some key players and still managed a bonus point victory.

    Now a week off before hitting out again.

    Awaiting players like Bakkies to return.

    You go BULLS, looking good early on.

    And any supporter must admit, the Bulls composue and BMT are out of this world.

    Biggest test will be when big Vic gets a rest…

    I believe D.Potgieter should then captin the side, time will tell…

    14@ Asblik – Jy’s duidelik nog nooit ‘n Sable (Swartwitpens) gesien nie, ookie ‘n Warthog (vlakvark) of ‘n Buffel nie…. en Brasco, die hond is so Brindle-kleur, ‘n regte moermensel van ‘n hond!

    ….. en ‘n Zebra…. is hy wit, met swart strepe?
    … of is hy swart, met wit strepe?

    gbs @ 17
    en is alles ‘ie witmense se skuld!!

  • 19

    18: Asdrom, sê vir die manne om kalm te bly daar onder in die Kaap. Een verloor beteken nie die einde nie.

    Onthou, julle het darem al die beroemde Neo Africa Cup (?) gewen teen die spanne wat heel bo op die S14 log lê … as jy die log omdraai. 😉

    I realize that Brok Harris gave the crazy intercept pass that cost the Stormers a try, however I am from the old school that believes that a tight head must be judged first and foremost on his scrumming abilty on the day.
    I do not believe Brok is blameless for that pass, but if the Stormers want to encourage that kind of play when under pressure, they will never win the S14.
    You simply cannot run the ball, especially laterally, under pressure and pinned in your own half.
    Once again it is a concern that coaches and teams in the S14 do not fall back to structure that allows them to maintain posession and build pressure, even towards the end of the game.

  • 22

    @21 Tight Head ,
    The Bulls showed this weekend exactly how should be done.

    They won that game by simply going back to the structures that works and pressured the ‘Tahs into a defeat.

  • 23

    Exactly Hokaai.
    I do think that as good as the Bulls are, they will have to improve, especially on defence when they travel away from Loftus.
    However you are so right about trusting the structure.

  • 24

    Bulls conceding 10 tries in three games is just not on!

    If Bulls yield 17-0 in 20 minutes anywhere else but Loftus, they will loose, badly.

    If Bulls can get leaked tries down to less than 2 per game, they will be unbeatabull.

  • 25

    Expect a very tough defensive practice regime the next two weeks at the Bulls camp.

    I am hopeful: 2009 Bulls scrum was weak, and they worked on it and worked on it, and now it is on par.

  • 26

    Oh yes, I must still give my team. I watched a bit more this weekend, so only my pro-Bulls bias to contend with:

    15 Zane (Joe missing that kick!)
    14 Gerhard (must get better on defence)
    13 Jacque(tough call, all mediocre this week)
    12 Wynand
    11 Francois (Brian dissapointed, or are our standards for him just to high?)
    10 Morné
    9 Fourie (al die ander skrummies het gesuig)
    8 Todd (for an American, he played very well)
    7 Juan
    6 Heinrich (Deon might have been better but he played in a strong side, but Heinrich played well in a poor side)
    5 Victor
    4 Flip
    3 Werner
    2 Gary
    1 Guthro
