I just think the Bulls are incapable of rational thought at the moment – that penalty just out from the Chiefs line was a prime example. They tried to take a quick tap to surprise the Chiefs (good idea), but when they were called back for some reason, rather than take stock, think about kicking to poles (still loads of time left in the match), what do they do? Take another quick tap when all the Chiefs are back in a defensive position and the move was nullified. Stupid basic non thinking error.
Jaco Visagie not much better than Calie, so there goes the “there has to e someone better at Tuks” argument.
Springbokke het probleme vanjaar….Sharks en Bulls beide kukkas.
@ Pietman:
I can’t see the Bulls with Pollard & Paige producing miracles, neither the Sharks without Lambie & Rainach?
The Bulls were not bad, just that persistent with kicking away the damn ball and dropping passes (or drops by the ball carriers) killed them today
kan iemand asb frans ludeke se game plan asook sy konsep van aanvallende rugby aan my verduidelik……
155 @ smallies:
Watter Game Plan?
Poor Bulls! What can one say?
How did Pollard and Janneman fare? From the looks of it, Pollard was crap but not so much has been said about Janneman. Usually an indication that he didn’t do well.
Well, well…they should be selected for the Boks in any case, so no worries.
Disappointed in the Bulls, my first pick was Chiefs by 14, then I thought the Bulls would get much closer, and I stupidly changed it to Chiefs by 3.

Give Jaco more gametime, preferably at Loftus, Callie had two years and he’s still crap
No the argument still stands
There MUST be a better hooker than Callie in the Bulls/Blue Bulls Union
If Callie is the second best hooker in the Union the Bulls are in even deeper shit that we thought
@ Nama:
haha iets se my jy het al gister besluit wat die antwoord moet wees
@ Victoriabok:
ek hoop ook maar soos jy, maar ek is skepties oor die diepte op hakker.
The Chiefs handling and running game is too slick for most teams…why the bulls persist with the up and under with only one chaser..I don’t get
@ MacroPolo:
Jy’t geen rede om so te dink nie.
Ek kyk maar net na mense se vertoning op die dag om te bevestig dat my oordeel oor die mannetjies nie SO verkeerd was nie. My oordeel is dat albei van Janneman en Pollard Bokke geword het op grond van hul vertoning op skoolvlak/junior vlak, maar dat albei van hulle sukkel op senior vlak en dus nie eintlik verdien om eerste keuse Bokspelers te wees nie. Hoe sien jy die saak?
Jy’t nog nie gese hoe Janneman vertoon het nie. Dit was my vraag. Pollard se vertoning is alreeds deur die manne afgeskryf.
I see that that “monster at 110kg” (as Tac once called him), Rohan Janse van Rensburg scored a try for the Lions against the Pumas in a losing bid to get to the finals of the Vodacom Cup. Wonder when we’ll see him in full Lions colours or in Bok colours for that matter. Apparently he was the ideal player to be used as a “battering ram” at inside centre…even ahead of Janneman nogal.
@ Nama:
Ek het nie die game gekyk nie, net die laaste 15 minute, het hy die game gekyk? soos ek gelees het het Janneman goeie spoed gewys om sy drie te druk, derde een in twee weke.
Pollard se taktiese skopwerk is maar wisselvallig, een week is dit uitstekend en die volgende week swak, die feit dat hy kan uitstekend wees, wys was in hom steek. Hy het goeie vertonings gelewer om een van die beste spanne te wen van alle tye verlede jaar, so hy kan verseker nie meer NET teen sy junior loopbaan gemeet word nie? Daai is nou al lankal in die verlede, hy het al op senior vlak ook gewys wat hy instaat is, en Janneman ook, hulle moet dit net meer konstant doen, hoewel ek nie so groot probleem het met Janneman nie oftese nie heeltemal biased teen hom is nie.

and very poor defense.
@ Nama:
En Jantjies was maar bra swak verlede week, jyt toe nie gou rugby-talk toe gejaag om vir ons almal te se hoe kak hy is nie? 😉
@ Nama:
@ MacroPolo:
Even with all our supposed superior depth and amount of players, we only have two viable options at 10. HM has invested in Pollard and Lambie, so with Lambie injured Pollard must be the incumbent.
SA fly halfs are there to slot penalties and hoof the ball downfield as their primary task, anything more is a bonus.
In the midfield we are not better off, yes, a few players are looking good in the SR, but are still untested in international rugby. So Jan will play, he has not been outplayed in the test side

Hi nortie don’t forget there is still Morne Steyn as well.
@ Bullscot:
Haven’t forgotten about him completely, but I can’t see him usurping both Pollard and Lambie at this stage
