The Bulls will back their Springboks to do the job for them on Saturday against the Cheetahs at Loftus Versveld.
Coach Frans Ludeke, has included Victor Matfield, Pierre Spies, Morne Steyn and Danie Rosssouw in his starting XV for Saturday’s make-or-break clash.
Matfield also takes over the captaincy from Dewald Potgieter.
More interesting news is that Frans Ludeke has anounced that Derick Kuun will move back to openside flank in 2010. Does that mean the rumour about Gary Botha returning to South Africa is true?
Ross Geldenhuys, who has been drafted from the Lions, gets a place on the bench.
Captain Victor Matfield had this to say:
“It has been quite a while since we have been the outright winners of the Currie Cup and therefore the next couple of weeks are going to be a huge challenge.
“There is a great vibe in the squad and it is nice to know that reaching the semi-finals is still in our own hands, but we all know that we need to be at our utmost best in the weeks to come.
“Every single player in the squad needs to be focussed on the job at hand and I look forward to a very tough game against the Cheetahs.
“With a number of Bulls in their team they know exactly how we want to play and apart from that, local derbies are always as tough as it gets.”
Vodacom Blue Bulls Team:
Zane Kirchner; Gerhard van den Heever, Jaco Pretorius, Wynand Olivier, Francois Hougaard; Morne Steyn, Heini Adams; Pierre Spies, Dewald Potgieter, Deon Stegmann, Victor Matfield (captain), Danie Rossouw, Werner Kruger, Derick Kuun, Gurthro Steenkamp. Reserves: Chiliboy Ralepelle, Ross Geldenhuys, Wilhelm Steenkamp, Pedrie Wannenburg, Dean Greyling, Francois Brummer, John Mametsa.
Raait laat die games begin , janne eet nie van die vloer af nie
Im glad Derick Kuun is moving back to flank. At least we have more depth at loosie when Stegman gets injured. And hopefully we might see Gary Botha soon!
Good team, but I wouldve played Hougaardt at scumhalf and Mametsa on the wing.
Hope Ross Geldenhuys scrums strong.
Eish arme ou Mmametsa word soos n afdrooglap gebruik, regtig die ou is goed genoeg om sy plek in te sement in die span. Verder Heinie beter sy laaste kans gebruik en Zane ook. Zane asseblief moenie vir Daniller en JLP voer nie hulle gaaan jou met rente straf.
@superBul –
Kyk gou daar by SB, Smallies wag vir jou goedkeuring asb!
@superBul –
Ja nee. Mametsa verdien n start. Hougaard moet op 9 begin!!
@Pietman – Eish daai ou , ek hom goedkeur, he. Hoe lyk dit met so kis Decent Red?
@superBul –
Thx.
Kis Decent Red is reg, jy moet net die trein vat en kom haal!
Of stuur vir Dalientjie, dan kan jy aangaan met jou werk daai kant, nog beter…..
Ek is nogsteeds skepties oor Valcro Kirchner.
@Pietman – haar allen down under , you must be joking
@Stan – 9 stan ou man daai benaming van Kirshy gaan nie orals lekker af nie , ou maat skip dit maar. Maar ek stem Zane moet vinnig sy vorm herwin, ek laaik die Tier net so veel.
@superBul –
Kyk jy vir Gaddafi op CNN?
Faaaaaaark, daai ou babbel nog meer deurmekaar as Malema en onse baas van ASA…..geen wonder hy woon in n tent in die woestyn nie, die man is mal.
Hoor die kuk wat hy praat daar….
@Pietman – Het jy al agtergekom dat die hele wereld al meer en meer tolerate vandat hierdie wonderlike menseregte ingekom het. Niemand neem meer regtig standpunt in nie. Alles is mos n mens se reg.
Eendag is eendag dan tref die popo die fan of kom iemand vorendag met n moerse sterk regruk aksie.dalk nog E…
@superBul –
Ek sien daai ding, ek vertrou nie daai menseregte ouens nie…..
Heyt, ons praat nou politiek, ek waai eers.
Sien jou more, al 1 vm hier.
G’nite.
Daai kak haarstyl verdien so n beskrywing… Kyk hoe netjies is Mametsa en Mangweni!
@superBul –
@superBul – Ek is besig om op die screens te kyk in die kantoor maar die klank is af. Die manier hoe hy sy arms en bene rond geswaai het, kon dit nie goed gewees het nie. Wie is hy btw?
@Journo-Lion – Haai grootman naand se, nou het jy my waarvan praat jy?
@superBul – 13
Super you watching the criket? See WI took one wicket. Pakistan 16/1 at the moment. Just maybe if WI can take nother 3 quick wickets it will put Pakistan under pressure. Well just maybe. Such a small total to chase for Pakistan.
@Puma – Meant – cricket.
O so by the way ek sien van die ouens op most active bloggers se name verskyn soms twee keer, is die groot totaal die kere wat hulle stront praat en die klein getal wanneer dit sense maak. 😆 just joking, die gees is goed hier miskien moet ek rustig raak ek of bachus …. o die tweede getal posts is onder die invloed…..die bachus se so
@Puma – 18
No not watching cricket watching my beer and braai fire.
Cant afford going empty with the beer bottle, utmost concentration needed.
@superBul – 21
😆 Better than the cricket I tell you. Pakistan I think were just too good for WI. Well you never know they could still bowl well but I doubt it.
Enjoy the braai and beer. I will do that tomorrow. Going to our mates for a braai tomorrow. Then he is off back to the middle east. Poor oke 😀
Goeienaand Superbul 😉
Hallo Puma en Journo Lions
@Karen – Goeie naand karen, ek dink nie ons het al gechat hier op die site nie
Hougaard is too good to be on the bench. Thus the Bulls has to find places for both Fourie du Preez and Hougaard. Thus the right call is to select Hougaard now on the wing.
Jis jou geheue is kort 😉 Hoe gaan dit met die little black cat?? 😀
@Karen – Hahaha dit is nogal. Dink ek het dit geerf..hehe. Dit gaan goed met hom, ek sit by die werk so het lekker baie tyd om te blog hehe.
@Puma – You must understand this is the beginning of 2 days of braaiing. Right through , marathon stuff.
So by the way what was the score in the Paki / Windie game
28 @Journo-Lion – Jis baie impressed at least werk jy en nie soos die pappa leeu wat niks doen nie lmga. Geniet jy darem die werk?
