WP have signed Bulls wing Gerhard van den Heever on a two-year contract.

Province and the Bulls officially confirmed the deal on Monday. The 22-year-old’s contract with the Pretoria union ends on 31st October, and he will make the move down to Cape Town in November.

‘We believe Van den Heever to be a quality player with the right attributes to fit into our set-up and vision for the immediate future,’ said WP senior professional coach Rassie Erasmus.

‘Despite his young age he brings solid experience at Super Rugby level. We have a settled base of senior players and a number of emerging young stars and we believe he has the potential to make a valuable contribution at a number of levels.’

Van den Heever made his senior debut in 2009, and played 41 provincial matches (20 tries) and 31 Super Rugby games (12 tries). The deal comes after the Bulls’ signings of WP wing JJ Engelbrecht, centre Johann Sadie and flyhalf Lionel Cronje.

    Maybe we can sign one of the Lions props seeing that they signed CJ or Maybe Wiehan Herbst from Sharks. He is going to be behind Jannie and Eugene so he might want gametime. Thing is will WP be able to provide him with gametime seeing that we have Blaauw, Kritzinger, Brok, Malherbe, Kitshoff. Malherbe scrummed well when he came on. WP’s props just need time to mature they are all really young in terms of when props reach their peaks. Jannie du Plessis is in his prime now. I am expecting big things from him for the Boks and Sharks.

    I mean the oldest WP prop is Brok at 27?? (Not sure i stand to be corrected) He is still 2 years off reaching his prime. We just need to be patient.

    I do not understand the reasoning behind this move. There is something seriously wrong with WP’s talent scouting. I see dark days for WP/Stormers coming up. Their tight 5 is not up to standard and have no scrumhalf and flyhalf! Then they buy a wing…eish…If I were supporting Province I would rather watch the Bold and The Beautiful in the S15 next year

    OK, I’m commencing the process of psychological seperation now.

    Erasing all of vd Heever’s good points, emphasizing his weak qualities.

    By next season he will rank next to Habana on my Dislike-o-meter.

    well done loyal lion and well done to your team.
    they were deserved winners through and through.
    must say jantjes is starting to grow on me in a big way but lets see how his s15 season goes.

    just remember that you still have one to go, so feet firmly to the ground.

    well done to the Lions on Sat – they owned WP. {I am a WP supporter}.

    just shows what a decent NZ coach can do with a bunch of no name brands in SA.

    the Boks are f*cked if AC gets the Bok job. Admittedly he’d be better than PDV but still waaaaaay off international standard.

    C’mon management time to rope Eddie Jones in as Bok coach. {a bonus is that Eddie is not Caucasian – it might keep Transie and others quiet for a while }

    my list of best candidates for Bok coach (in order of preference):

    1. Eddie Jones & Plum as forwards coach
    2: Mitchell & Carlos
    3: Warren Gatland
    4: Heineke
    5: me

    @grant10(grant10)-61: schalk has been good this season work-rate wise and even better @ the world cup playing blindside but for the life of me i do NOT understand why he is ALWAYS at first receiver!!!!!!! it’s not like he is fleet of foot like say, nick koster or is a monster at the contact points – as he turns his back every time he goes into contact thus nullifying any opportunity to maybe attact the tacklers weak shoulder!

    his skip pass to de jongh was excellent though.

    Faarkit , did not see this coming. Suppose between him and JJ I would then go for him , am a big fan of JJ also but as someone pointed out for the 100th time to me this weekend , the man lacks outright pace. Ag well , we will see who is gonna show up who next year. Tact must be happy lol !
