Jantjies ruled out of Durban derby

Jantjies ruled out of Durban derby

9 Mar 2012

Elton Jantjies and Patric Cilliers have been withdrawn from the Lions’ match against the Sharks on Saturday.

The Lions flyhalf has a foot injury while Cilliers is battling a stomach bug. It was confirmed on Friday that neither player would be fit to play at Kings Park on Saturday.

Caylib Oosthuizen and Alwyn Hollenbach have been moved into the starting line up with Ruan Dreyer and Andries Coetzee brought onto the bench. The absence of Jantjies means Butch James will start at No 10.

Lions – 15 Jaco Taute, 14 Deon van Rensburg, 13 Doppies La Grange, 12 Alwyn Hollenbach, 11 Michael Killian, 10 Butch James, 9 Michael Bondesio, 8 Warren Whiteley, 7 Joshua Strauss (c), 6 Derick Minnie, 5 Franco van der Merwe, 4 Marius Coetzer, 3 Jacobie Adriaanse, 2 Callie Visagie, 1 Caylib Oosthuizen.
Subs: 16 Martin Bezuidenhout, 17 Ruan Dreyer, 18 Stephan Greef, 19 Cobus Grobbelaar, 20 Tian Meyer, 21 Andries Coetzee, 22 James Kamana.

    He looked OK last week when he walked out from the Hurricanes’ match, there was no sign of injury?
    Interesting.

    If Butch was viewed / punted as the best SA flyhalf in 2011, surely this is not as big a tragedy? :roll:

    The big loss is Patric Cilliers. Jantjies is so so covered by Butch being there. That Sharks front row need a confidence boost.

    @stormersboy(stormersboy)-7: Did you see Eben drive Bissie back in the tackle! Did you instruct him to do that?

    @Sasuke(Sasuke)-8: Look let’s just say we had a quiet chat. I mentioned how upright Bismark likes to play, as if he’s doing deadlifts. Makes him easier to put off balance.

    Seriously though, Bismark isn’t having the best season I must say. Probably the 3rd best hooker so far in the SA conference.

    I expect he’ll get better though.

    YES!!! Dropped him from my fantasy team after 2 incredible rounds from Jantjes. I just never pick backs early season in Durban. Kept Goosen as I believe Cheetahs have a very good chance in Canberra. Aussie teams are even worse this year than last year.

    Bismarck might not be the best hooker, but after last week on Newlands I think he is the best fetcher in SA! Ok, maybe a bit harsh on Brussow.

    That is maybe why he is in fact rated by me as SA best hooker. He was last year Sharks best ball stealer and for Boks with Brussow he is awesome as fetcher!

    An ALL WHITE Lions team. I mean they even have a guy in the team called Whiteley?

    Let’s just curb the enthusiasm a tad, and give the lad a chance to settle, shall we.

    I have no doubt that he will be a Bok candidate eventually – heck, even Devon Raubenheimer got a test cap – but then show me a provincial African black loose forward in SA who has NOT been a Bok candidate.

    If you’re African Black and play anywhere in the forwards, you’re pretty much guaranteed a lookin into the Bok side.

    Staying there, though, is another matter entirely.

    Kolisi looks promising, but so do a lot of other young loose forwards, who don’t have the “added appeal” that he has, for obvious reasons.

    @Tacitus(Deucalion)-28: Come on, Tac. So in your world he can never be good enough, because he will always be a “black loose forward”, and they are almost guaranteed Bok honours? So you’re covered both ways – whether he becomes a Bok or not. I can write a book on your hang-ups.

    @>^..^< katman(katman)-29:

    That’s not what I said and you know it.

    I said give him a chance to prove himself.

    Personally I think he will get a shot at the Bok team, but given the loose forward competition in SA, so will many other loosies of similar age who are bursting onto the scene now.

    Who eventually becomes the new Schalk Burger, Juan Smith etc. (i.e. long term occuppiers of the flank position), that’s way too early to say now.

    @Jonck(Jonck)-14: Just a quick response as i have to go. Bismarck is also the best at getting turned over by the opposition and losing forward momentum for the side. He wins a lot of ball but he was getting stripped of the ball by Deon Stegman in teh Bulls game and in the Stormers game he was driven back in the contact when carrying up and we consequently lost possession a couple of times. I have honestly got to the position that I no longer rate him as a tight forward and feel he is more of liability than a strength – I hope he proves me wrong. :lol:

    One of the most promising loosies in SA is Lappies Labuschagne.

    It does not seem that he will get a chance to prove himself this year.

    You guys can say what you like. Kolisis is very good. And not just “good for a black loose forward” as has been suggested here. Just. Very. Good.

    If he keeps up this sort of play he will be knocking on the greater Springbok squad next year if not sooner.

    A good one
    Tim Dlulani wasn’t but he was injured before the tests season.
    The Stormers won twice at home under travesty of refereeing, and what I noticed is the the dude tends to hit opponents at the rucks and mauls from the blind side – similar to Lobbert’s style while at the Bulls – but the guys held themselves from retaliation.
    The real test will come when the Stormers play under a NZ or an Aus referee, Kolisi may get hurt
