that punch was just stupid and deserves a punishment.

He should get a few more weeks off.
Now there seems to a bit of silence on here about the punch that was thrown and connected.
Last week i believe it was the end of the world, now it seems you guys missed the yellow card for the punch.
He will also get at least 3 weeks. And dont cry either.

As a Stormer I can honestly say that most teams want to play against Spies. He adds no value.

Saying that as a Bok I don’t want him near the Bok team as he adds no value and his game has deteriorated from a once up and coming player, to one who never reached those heights.

The Bulls can play him week in and week out, but please nowhere near the Bok team. Pretty please.

Danial Adongo will be a Springbok. Reminds me of a young Jerry Collins.

Any news on Adongo? if fit, should be getting gametime. VERY disappointed with Spies lack of influence in games recently. NOT imposing himself as much as I would like.

CJ Stander – a young Wahl Bartmann in the making. Improvement in his fetching skills and be good coming off the bench. BOks not much depth at 6 or backup for Heinrich.

Spies disappearance from the game led to houggie making 21 tackles!!!! no scrumhalf should never make that many tackles but it shows how he had to cover for spies the whole game.

DEFENCE was shiiiiittte. Is the bulls defence coach the new boks coach? this guy is terrible. Where was the ruck and close defence. There were holes everywhere! why no bring in Stormers defence coach for the BOks?

Bulls NEED Deon Steggman back. This guy needs to replace Spies. The bulls seriously lack a fetcher and therefore are not able to slow the ball down at the breakdown. This is exactly the type of play that Beale loved.

Why the hell is JJ playing centre. why is he playing instead of Sadie. SADIE IS A CENTRE AND JJ IS A WING SO PLAY THEM IN THEIR PROPER POSITIONS!!!!!!!! JJ is not able to create space for his team and does not pass. He is a GREAT winger but not a great centre. PLUS his defence today was shocking.

THe good – Fransois Hougaard – great game my man. 21 tackles!!!!! must be a super rugby record for a back! HOwever, it would be nice to see u snipe around the ruck a bit more or go blindside as u have the speed. but GREAT game overall. First player i would name on the teamsheat.

The brilliant – CJ STANDER. this guy is GREAT. hard as nails. tackles like crazy and has a strong, low running technique (unlike the Pierre “the wimp” spies). When Stegman returns, Stander better not be relegated to the bench. Spies needs to leave the 22 entirely. I have heard that Bulls Kenyan flanker is rather good, Danial Adongo. Why not give him a shot on the bench?

Summing up my rant, yes we got the 5 pointer. However, we were playing the rebels. this sort of terrible defence will be destoryed by the like of Kahui, SBW and Cruden ( as JJ and olivier cant communicate). Tamalolo will power past the gain line on every run and Spies will be no where to be seen.

Best bulls team for the rest of the season and PLayoffs (hopefully):

1. Greyling
2. Ralapelle
3. Kruger
4. Flip (this guy was also terrible. didnt see him the whole game)
5. Kruger (needs to control disapline)
6. Stegman
7. Potgeiter
8. Stander
9. Hougie
10. Steyn
11. Basson
12. Olivier
13. Sadie
14. JJ
15. Kircher

I agree,Engelbrecht at 13 is weak link. Not a 13,hands also let him down badly.Got handled vs Brumbies as well. Whats happened to wunderkind Sadie? Not seeming like he is the epic talent he was made out to be especially with the hefty purse hes being paid at Bulls….Return on investment…..

CJ stander is a stud at 6…superb,so is J.Potgieter. Flip vd Merwe is below par,lacks any polish in any of the things h does..plus his discipline is poor.Where is Cornell Hess?

Dean Greyling has been a man mountain all season, developing into a fine loosehead.

Not a centre by a mile.

Also wtf why was that rebel player not given a red card for his tip tackle!

That was the easiest game of their tour. For their sake I hope they just had an off day.
