Has anybody thought of Bands at Hooker when he is fit. Thats where he started his career(same as Smit whom started at prop) It will be a massive frontrow and not that slow either!

Parisian,
He is far too young. Meyer will not throw him in the deep end yet.The same as what he did with Spies and DelportChilli needs another 2 years before he can play S14 rugby.

Just think Gary will have his hands full when he comes back…seems as though Chilliboy is being fast-tracked to take over from John Smit. What do you guys think?

interesting points you made there St P and Cab…

mmmm… can’t wait for big Joe to come back to action… watch out for the stormers loose trio this S14 season okes when they are all up and running… Luke, Schalk on the flanks… and big Joe at the back… mmmm.. i foresee some fireworks there… its a pity the tight 5 is a bit gayish still…

StP,

yip and the bulls are the one SA side that can take a few injuries; but its a weaker side without Botha, Matfield or FdP. Still a helluva pack and it sounds like Spies is going to be very useful.

I think the one thing that really seperates the Bulls from the other SA sides is their enforcers and ball carriers (depth at 4 and 7 in particular). Bakkies, Rossouw and Cronje, are arguably the most effective in the country at cqrrying the bqll up and at rucktime, but they can also can turn to players like Gary Botha, Spies and Wanneburg.

For the same reasons tho, i think the sharks will be a different outfit this season. The sharks have done well in signing Farani and the old enforcer AJ returning from injury, this combined with Johan Ackerman and the scrumming of BJ Botha should make a very effective pack, and one where the speed of Tybilika might actually prove useful if the others do their job.

The Cats and Stormers are short of these players with Schalk having to do it all for the stormers (not his true strength) and probably the cats relying heavily on Jannes Labuschagne just back from injury.

Heyneke Meyer should play that young prop who made his debut last season as a hooker against the Cheetahs.A massive front row will go a long way to beating the Cheetahs.The Bulls midfield….if given the ball at speed, could also hurt the Cheetahs.

Van Schoewenburg at lock with Bakkies is a good combo as well.

Cheetahs is the initial test.

Two weeks later vs Brumbies is no contest.
The Bulls locks and backrow will win that.Far to physical at altitude for the Ozzies.
Waratahs included.

Rugby in Sydney is not rugby at Loftus.And the Bulls owe these pretenders a snot klap anyway.I’m backing a full spread of points for those two games.

The Loftus crowd…Mr Hofmeyer included, need to stand up and be counted.

A couple injuries is not catastophic….we all knew injuries would happen at some stage, better to get them out the way now and hopefully have a little more luck later on.

OO,
Ek weet nie of die Brandboontjie drink nie, alhoewel hy waarskynlik so nou en dan n karton tradisionele Magau geniet. Baie gesonder as die goed wat ons drink in elkgeval!

Ok that is understandable

Hallo OO,
Neewat, hulle maak my nie bang nie, hulle maak my bly. Die een is te oud en die ander een te maer!Vir n span sonder n vaste vyf, n losskakel, heelagter en n afrigter praat hulle darem baie. En nou wil Grrr.. ook nog hÃƒÂª dat Brandboontjie vir die Mynhoopbewoners gaan speel. Behalwe dat hy nog te jonk is vir S14 rugby, gaan hy net hulle slegte drinkgewoontes aanleer!

Sad about Matfield and Botha, but I really think Heini Adams would have shown up Fourie in any event. His service is definitely faster than Fouries’ and he does have more than just the standard kick or blind side attempted break. Fourie takes even longer than Joost did in is latter years… and he does not even hassle the rev 1/10th as much as his predecessor did before getting the ball out of the ruck!

What u guys think?
