Bulls duo ruled out
28 Mar 2012
Flank Deon Stegmann and hooker Willie Wepener will miss Saturday’s match against the Stormers.
Stegmann hasn’t recovered sufficiently from a hamstring injury and so won’t be risked in a clash of this nature. Wepener has picked up an infection of a facial muscle and is also unavailable.
The absence of Stegmann will mean that neither the Bulls nor Stormers will field a specialist opensider at Newlands this Saturday.

@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-2: Who is that? Doesnt really matter. Scarra and Bongi wont see any gametime in a game of this nature. Ntubeni having 2 skew throw-ins consecutively was poor on his part.

ja, bongi mbonambi. no super caps yet but made sa schools two years running and played for u20 baby boks in irb junior wc.
injury’s always a possibility so if chilli goes down it means he gets game time.
i dont think frans is in the habit of making props play hooker or hookers play props.

Bongi Mbonambi?
That’s going to upset Hondo.

tiaan will be yoohoo-ing if he has to play bongani.

@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-4: Oh yes i remember seeing or the Junior Boks. He is not bad. Suddenly there are lots of black hookers around like Voortrekker road on a Saturday night.

@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-5: ja, he’s already said “siya kolisi is less of a liability than chiliboy”, now add mbonambi, kirchner, ndungane – that’s too many negritos for our Hondo

@the artist formerly known as gunther(gunther)-5:
ja, maybe we shouldn’t tell him? we can just anglicise his name to something like ‘benji mcnabby’ when commenting on his performances.

@welcome to my life, hugh…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-10: bongi is short for bongani the same way siya is short for siyamthanda kolisi…
it’s to make it easy for the wit ous to pronounce

Looks like there is some serious black talent appearing ….. very cool for SA!

ok, short for bongani then..?…did not know that

Wepener made all the difference to the power of the pack when he came on in the 50th’ish minute… one thing is clear… the Bulls don’t have anywhere near the quality their counter-parts do at hooker but are doing well in spite…
Have your say
