Can’t wait to see the Bulls team…

Will players be rested ?
2

superBul on 21 April 2010 at 10:58 am

I dont think so, they want to get their momentum back. The chance to rest players was missed.

Tripples on 21 April 2010 at 11:02 am

Super, hulle kan maar vir Morne Steyn rus (op die bench hou) want dink nie JLP kan veel swakker as MS die naweek doen nie, dink regtig hy moet rus

Sit Victor op losskakel, hy like dit mos om daar rond te hang…
5

Tripples on 21 April 2010 at 11:06 am

Hmmmm O ja gelukkig doen Andries Bekker dit nie, o ja, hy hang nie op losskakel rond nie, hy hang op senter rond 🙂
6

superBul on 21 April 2010 at 11:11 am

Saint jy praat nou stront man, haal die Bekker donkerbril af 😆
Victor het hard getry teen die Reds, sy tackle count was goed.

Sonder hom sou hulle ons goed , beter opgeflok het

Snoek on 21 April 2010 at 11:11 am

Would like to see the Force team shock the Crusaders.
8

grootblousmile on 21 April 2010 at 11:11 am

Expect a rather late Bulls Team announcement this week….
9

Snoek on 21 April 2010 at 11:13 am

Steven Sykes have been the best SA lock so far in the S14.
10

Tripples on 21 April 2010 at 11:15 am

& me tooooooooooooo
11

Snoek on 21 April 2010 at 11:16 am

I hear Bekker strives to play like Sykes 😆
12

grootblousmile on 21 April 2010 at 11:17 am

9@ Snoek – No! Langbek Bekker has been, Sykes has been good but still a bit up and down over the weeks. In the early weeks Flip van der Merwe was way better than Sykes
13

superBul on 21 April 2010 at 11:20 am

Ek sien Rian Swanepoel is dalk uit en dat Alberts en Deysell seer is na die Leeus hulle gekarnuffel het. Hoop die Leeus voel dit ook bietjie aan die lyf.
14

Snoek on 21 April 2010 at 11:21 am

12 – Ek krap maar net so bietjie die leeu se bal.
15

grootblousmile on 21 April 2010 at 11:22 am

13@ SuperBul – O flok, Sharks moet nie NOU beserings hê nie… hulle moet eers beserings hê onmiddellik na die Blues game!
16

superBul on 21 April 2010 at 11:22 am

Alhoewel ek dink die Bulle gaan span min verander wens ek tog Flip, JLP kry n volle game nou.
17

Snoek on 21 April 2010 at 11:23 am

13 – Dit was ‘n intense wedstryd. Die Leeus sal hulself nie twee weke in ‘n ry so kan lift nie. Bulle met 40+
18

grootblousmile on 21 April 2010 at 11:24 am

14@ Snoek – Jy het misgekrap… pasop die sensitiewe sielle van die Stormpoppies sal jou vloek as jy nie vir Langbek eer gee nie…. hehehehe

Plumtree knows it is going to be a lot tougher than the Lions game.

That means he will be pleased to have most hands on deck by the Thursday practice session, with just the twisted ankle suffered by Riaan Swanepoel requiring a decision that could impact on a player’s chances of playing.

“Our two main ball carriers, Jean Deysel and Willem Alberts, are feeling a bit sore this week, which is understandable if you consider the work they got through against the Lions,” said Plumtree.

“But both of them will be ready to train with the squad on Thursday. We are just managing them in the meantime. Riaan has a twisted ankle and is receiving treatment. If he does not play, Andries Strauss will slot into his place.”

Plumtree said that while the Lions were extremely physical in the derby in Johannesburg, the Blues would be a much tougher team to play against because they would ask more questions of the Sharks defence.

Snoek on 21 April 2010 at 11:26 am

Sharks kon daai wedstryd met tusse 20 – 30 punte gewen het as die bounce of the ball bietjie beter was. Bulle sal die bonus punt drie teen die halfuur hê.

Moet net nie na dit slap lê nie.

Blouste on 21 April 2010 at 11:30 am

McKenzie is a shrewd coach.

You people underestimate his contributions to the game plan.

Stormers boast a new challenge for the Reds this week and they will be back with a game plan with new dimentions to it, watch.

Stormers are a great team, but don’t count out the Reds just yet…
22

grootblousmile on 21 April 2010 at 11:41 am

Nou’s almal eweskielik stil…. het julle ‘n gemoedsbekakking gekry of wat?
23

Blouste on 21 April 2010 at 11:44 am

Wie…waar ? 😆
24

grootblousmile on 21 April 2010 at 11:51 am

Crusaders Team also announced…. 6 announced, 8 to go!
25

Blouste on 21 April 2010 at 11:53 am

Crusaders should take this one easily… Force are on the up though…
26

Rugby_Princess on 21 April 2010 at 12:12 pm

James OConnor is out injured (shoulder) – will matter to the Force.
27

4man on 21 April 2010 at 12:13 pm

GBS….you out there?

Blouste on 21 April 2010 at 12:14 pm

Hallo RP

How are you.

Things going okey at work ?
More relaxed I mean 😆

grootblousmile on 21 April 2010 at 12:18 pm

27@ Sammajoor – Stuur berig, oor!

4man on 21 April 2010 at 12:19 pm

Just a comment on my Sharks….Goodes channel is vulnerable. Their defence isnt what it used to be4 and they are still suffering the after effects of losing 3 flyhalves in a week at the beginning of the season, but the Blues are their favourite rivals (if there is such a thing), these guys from coastal towns like to have a go at each other.
