Exactly the expected WP team with Mossie out injured….
I see both the Blue Bulls and WP have all 3 their sides (u/19, u/21 & senior team) in the 3 respective semi’s…. with WP hosting their 2 junior semi’s and the Bulls hosting their 2 junior semi’s at Loftus.
hoop hierdie rus het vir ou bananna gehelp!!!!!
Genugtig – you know a die-hard Bulls fan is sick when he encourages WP fans to wear blue and white to a Newlands semi!
Clearly that medication isn’t helping, GBS?

ou gbs’ie is ñ ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuu province supporter
I am not convinced about that back line. Aplon, Du Jongh and Jantjies are two too many small guys.
The Cheetahs have a big back line, Daniller especially.
I think based on that back line the Cheetahs wil take it.
breaking news:
if allistair is unsuccessful this year
province will bring in a new coach
…
from what i’ve heard the bloke is from japan
think his name is Mr. Please Win-somet’ing-soon!!! 😆
Did you hear that thieves broke into WP Rugby’s Trophy room last night?
…
Police are appealing for information on the whereabouts of a glass cabinet and a carpet. 😀
Q. How can you save a drowning New Zealand Rugby player?
A. You cant. You can drag him to the top, but he’ll choke anyway
“You can go to the end of time, the last World Cup in the history of mankind, and the All-Blacks will be favourites for it.” – Phil Kearns
goeie backline en poofter forewards nee wat flou en kie gaan sukkel teen die cheetah no name ysters
@ biltongbek:
Aplon en Juan het hulself al bewys op die aanval en die verdediging. Jantjies is ook nie so klein nie, 1,83 en 90kg. Agterlyn nie so goed soos laasnaweek nie, maar hulle behoort hulle man te staan teen die Cheetahs.
@ smallies72:
Bwahaha, eerste keer in ‘n lang tyd dat ek hoor Scalla, Duanne en Flo word poofters genoem? Ons sal maar moet wag tot Saterdag middag om te sien of jou voorspelling waar is!
@ KingPaul:
Ek lees die iewers, wat se jy hiervan.
Januarie will start against the Cheetahs this week, because the coaching staff believes the selection will provide continuity. It’s a harsh call considering the form of Dewaldt Duvenage this year, and the fact that he’s monopolised the No 9 position even when Januarie was available for the Stormers. To argue that Januarie is the right horse for the play-off course is absurd when you consider how important tactical kicking could be to the outcome.
That the forward battle is crucial is not up for debate. If WP can pressure the Cheetahs like they did the Sharks, they stand a good chance of advancing to the final. If they can win the forward exchanges, they need to make the correct decisions and execute efficiently in the back division. And if you want a player to provide continuity with ball in hand and alternatively kick Province into promising positions, you want Duvenage in a starting shirt, not Januarie.
@ superBul:
Vandag het AC gesê dat hy begin met Ricky omdat Dewald ‘n beter inpak speler is en die tempo kan verhoog as hy opkom. Hy voel ook dat Ricky se “hardegatgeid” hom die edge gee oor Dewald, veral as dit kom by so ‘n belangriker game. Ek dink ook dat WP die bal meer indie hand wil hou en eerder strafskoppe met rolmaalbewegins sal wil afdwing as om die bal in Daniller se keel afteskop. Laat Ricky eers vir Tewis goed irriteer (iets wat hy laasweek met Kokkit regekry het) en dan kan Dewald hom na so 60min vervang om die tempo te verhoog.
Ek was een van die eerste ouens wat laasweek erken het dat ricky ‘n dêm goeie game teen die Sharks gehad het.
O-ja, Jacque Fourie is uit vir 8 weke……
VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
Good WP team. Then on their day Cheetahs can beat any of the CC teams. So this is for you Loosehead. VRYSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.. 😀
