Bulls optimistic about Stander, Potgieter

Bulls optimistic about Stander, Potgieter

21 May 2012

The Bulls said scans on injured loose forwards CJ Stander and Dewald Potgieter have shown they could be ready to face the Chiefs on Friday..

Stander (hip) and Potgieter (AC joint) sustained injuries against the Highlanders on Saturday. A statement from the Bulls said they expected them to be ready for the Hamilton match, one the Bulls must win in order to stay in touch with the conference leaders, the Stormers.

‘We were really concerned about both these players but Dr Org Strauss and his medical team did wonderful work and are positive that both will be available for selection,’ the release read. ‘The injuries are not as serious as initially thought. We are fortunate that the other 24 players on tour will all be available for selection.’

    @mshiniwami(mshiniwami)-35:
    Yeah perhaps.
    I still reckon Spies had his best game in a Bulls jersey this weekend.

    @Sasuke(Sasuke)-49: Agree with that but I don’t see them beating the Sharks at the Tank or the Bulls at Loftus. But this year is there best chance so far as long as the do not meet the Crusacheaters in a playoff the have a good chance.

    @John Galt(John Galt)-52: What do you think of his captaincy this last weekend and over the competition?

    @Tacitus(Deucalion)-45:
    agreed, when morne missed the conversion i felt certain we’d lose but was hoping we pull through as in the tahs game.

    also, am certain a bulls player grounded the ball against the try line in the move just prior to dean’s try attempt.

    @Airwell(Airwell)-46:
    my feelings too.

    i did not want to say it (spit) but it looks like wp could just be our bogey :grin:

    Both Bulls and Stormers need a break big time. The Stormers will probably get this when the England tour kicks off, But Heyneke Meyer is most likely to fill the Boks with the Bulls, so there will be little rest for the Bulls players. Stormers will get Schalk back as well, with 3 very easy games to finish off. Its all about the next 2 games….

    Should play CJ Stander & Arno Botha. Arno a freak who plays out of his skin each time he comes on, and CJ Stander has been terrific all season. Potgieter & Stegmann are just plain average. Reliable but not in the same league.

    And well… Jacques Potgieter is k@k :)

    @hendrikp(hendrikp)-58: Agree. Stander and Botha together will be dynamite.

    @houston, we have a problem…(i_love_u_bakkiesbotha)-55: I agree with you on the “try” scored on the line. Strange they did not show it again. I felt it was worth having look at. The Bull’s player however did not claim it.

    @John Galt(John Galt)-51: That says alot, he was still nowhere near test quality. He still weak in the tackle situation and should rather be playing off the bench as he will have more impact that way.

    Seems the Stormers loose forward curse is rubbing off onto the Bulls

    -Deweld Potgieter(AC joint)
    -Jaques Potgieter(dislocated knee cap_
    -Doen stegmaan(fractured forearm)
    -Cj stander(hip)

    While list the Stormers
    -Nick Koster
    -Schalk Burger
    -Duane Vermuelan
    -Nasim Carr

    Only difference is the Bulls have got better depth then the Stormers in the Lossie department with players such as Teckelenberg, Adonga, Van
    Velze & Botha
