The blue bulls will be battling themselves. A good win here will earn a lot of my respect to nolis and lappies for keeping the boys grounded and making lappies a front runner for bulls captaincy next year.
@ MacroPolo:
Ek sien uit daarna om n slag vir Arno Botha te sien speel…. vir n volle wedstryd! Die outjie het ook n ‘sick note’ geword skielik…nes Chiliboy destyds.
Dit het Chiliboy 60 minute geneem om 12 toetse te voltooi
@ Pietman:
Ja flip daai ou se geluk moet nou draai.
2 @ Pietman:
3 @ MacroPolo:
Hy is meer beseer as wat Yo-Yo Pretorius destyds was en selfs meer beseer as wat die “Glasseun” Johan Goosen is.
Hy sal nou oor sy stront moet kom, anders kan hy netsowel maar aftree!
@ grootblousmile:
Oii oi oi, stadig met die “aftree” stories! Jy hoor wat se Robzim, manne houvas aan die reelings met die trappe af oppad na die spanaankondiging….
As dit SO aangaan, kan ek en jy ook dalk eersdaags weer bietjie uitdraf
Ek dink Vic breek nou Willie Duggan van Ierland se rekord vir die oudste speler, ook slot gewees, terloops.
Oudtse speler was Tony O’Reilly, Britse Leeus in SA 1955, as 19 jarige teen Tom van Vollenhoven gespeel…
Daarna, na hy reeds CEO van Heinz Foods was, het hy vir Ierland as reserwe opgedraf op Twickenham, drywer met Rolls het hom by kleedkamer afgelaai
Oorlede Bill McLaren het n mooi storie daaroor gehad.
@ Pietman:
Oudste agterspeler…
@ Pietman:
Hoe oud was
@ Pietman:
Daai slot van die all blacks? Wat john smit so omgegooi het?
Ek dink ook ds waarskynlik dat die all black se groep n paar outoppies gaan vat, waarskynlik die oudste all black span ooit.
@ MacroPolo:
Ruben Thorne? Nee, hy is nog n laatie man, jou ouderdom!
@ MacroPolo:
Ek dink ons oudste speler was Lofty Nel, voor Vic? Hy was 37 of so. Saam met my Pa gespeel.
Jongste was seker Frans Steyn? Voor hom Jeremy Nel, ook losskakel. My oorle Pa het die goete geken, ek onthou nie meer almal, te oud, ekke
Ek dink die oudste Rugby World Cup speler was 40… nou so rukkie terug so iets raakgelees.
@ grootblousmile:
Watter Cup, Golden Oldies?
Nee, grappies op n stokkie, daar was so n ou, van een van die kleiner lande, Samoa,Tonga….? Ek het dit gesien.
Diego Ormaechea, Uruguay, aged 40 years, 26 days (v South Africa, 15 October 1999), was the oldest rugby player to feature in a Rugby World Cup game.
Brad Thorn was the oldest player to feature in a Final

Vanaf RugbyDump:
When Nick Easter was recalled to the England squad for the Six Nations at the grand old age of 36, many were doubting whether he still had the legs to play test match rugby. His experience was clearly invaluable amongst the team, and in World Cup year could be key.
The five players below have all featured in rugby’s biggest tournament and with ages of up to 40 still featuring, there is no reason why the old guards shouldn’t have more optimism ahead of September’s World Cup in England.
From the USA’s Mark Williams to Uruguay’s Diego Ormaechea, there is proof that the Nick Easter’s of the rugby world can be full of optimism.
Mark Williams – USA
The American centre, now 53 years old got 37 caps for USA between 1987 and 1999. He retired as the third highest points scorer in his country’s history, with 143 points. Williams is now Head Coach of the USA South as they look to give the sport more depth across the nation, submitting teams to the North American Caribbean Rugby Association Tournaments.
Mario Ledesma – Argentina
The legendary Argentinian hooker is being heavily linked with his first international coaching job. The 41-year-old has been forwards coach at Stade Francais and Montpellier since retiring after the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and is now being lined up by Michael Cheika as the man to rectify the Wallabies’ scrum. The pair worked together in Paris and after featuring in four world cup’s, there is no doubt that Ledesma has plenty of experience to pass on.
Vyacheslav Grachev – Russia
The Russian number-eight gained 72 caps for Russia with an international career spanning an impressive 18 years. After earning his club trade in France, Grachev was the oldest player at the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand, but couldn’t prevent a group stage exit for the Russians.
Mark Cardinal – Canada
Cardinal featured in three world cups for Canada and scored three tries in his 35 caps at hooker. He made his debut in the win over USA back in 1986 and was a regular in the side after then right up until his retirement, making 27 starts for the Maple Leafs.
Diego Ormaechea – Uruguay
Ormaechea is regarded as the greatest player that Uruguay has ever produced and has now had an extreme change of career. After retiring in 1999, the 55-year-old is now a Veterinary Surgeon specialised in Racing Horses.
He is one of the top veterinary surgeons in South America in his discipline, but is still highly regarded for his contribution to rugby. He coached Uruguay at the 2003 World Cup, and his son Agustin now represents his country, with 16 caps to date.
If any coaches needed a reminder about whether to go for the youngster with a bright future or the older more experienced player which may bring instant success, the World Rugby video below may well change their mind!
Game ON!
Kick-Off by the Blue Bulls!
