Fouche concern for Bulls
25 Sep 2012
Blue Bulls flyhalf Louis Fouche will face a late fitness test ahead of his team’s Currie Cup clash against the Sharks in Durban.
Fouche, who’s the current Currie Cup top points scorer (102), is struggling with injury and has been bracketed with Lionel Cronje in the starting line-up. A final call on his availability will be made later this week.
In one other change, CJ Stander will wear the No 8 jersey at Kings Park. Arno Botha moves to blindside flank with Jacques Potgieter on Springbok duty.
Blue Bulls – 15 Jurgen Visser, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 JJ Engelbrecht, 12 Francois Venter, 11 Sampie Mastriet, 10 Louis Fouchè/Lionel Cronjè, 9 Jano Vermaak, 8 CJ Stander, 7 Arno Botha, 6 Dewald Potgieter (c), 5 Franco Mostert, 4 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Willie Wepener, 1 Morne Mellett.
Subs: 16 Bongi Mbonambi, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Grant Hattingh, 19 Warwick Tecklenburg, 20 Ruan Snyman, 21 Lionel Cronjè/Willie du Plessis, 22 Ulrich Beyers.

Akona is in need of a rest too… Would love to see a straight swop with him an basson for next week which is highly unlikely because of him being vice captain…
What is it with us blue bulls keeping with the slow kicking flyhalves? Morne steyn and louis fouche is similar in playing style would love to see lionel starting and louis resting this one out?

Fouché is an unreliable flash in the pan. Bulle deperately needs Derick Hougaardt to make a come back.
Have your say
