Matfield to mentor Bulls forwards
20 Nov 2012
Victor Matfield has been named the Bulls forwards and attack coach for the 2013 Super Rugby season.
Matfield comes on board in an official capacity after serving as a consultant in 2012. He will replace Johan van Graan, who made the step up to the Springboks earlier this season.
The Bulls have made a couple of other appointments to offset the loss of coaches that have joined the Boks. Pine Pienaar replaces John McFarland as defence coach, while Andre Volsteedt is the new head of strength and conditioning.
The Bulls have also brought in former Bok flyhalf Derick Hougaard as a junior skills and kicking coach. Blue Bulls U21 coach Nollis Marais has been promoted to the position of Vodacom Cup coach.

@The Rangerman-99: Yes it one of mine too.
Have you seen a movie called Grosse Point Blank??
John Cusack. Also a bit “out there” but in a more conventional way if that makes sense….

@The Rangerman-99: Did the otter years ago. It’s tougher than it first seems. Weather plays a huge part.
We were lucky. But yes, the garden route is some of the best scenery on the planet.

@stormersboy-101: john cusack is one of my all time favourite actors and i was lucky enough to guide him for 4 nights at phinda when i was there.
he was with his mate bill bellamy and his family.
he is one of the funniest guys i have ever met, in fact i laughed until my jaw hurt.
the otter is too good. quite challenging in places but that coastline rivals anything i have seen anywhere else in the world.

@The Rangerman-107: Wow. Nice. Im impressed,
Yes, spectacular country we live in. I regularly take the family out and show them the country. Tourists pay big bucks to fly here and see the things that are on our doorstep. Us South Africans are often so obsessed about traveling overseas and how expensive it is but forget that we live in such a beautiful and diverse country.

@stormersboy-110: haha, doesnt make me less of a pleb lol.
when i heard he was coming to phinda i put my foot down and demanded to be his guide.
ja, ze germans were at storms river mouth in their HUNDREDS on the day we started.
seriously, it was packed to the rafters, maybe 30 tour busses.
i am more interested in sa and southern africa than anywhere actually.

@nortierd-63: I’m not judging him on his accent, mine is probably worse.
I’m not trying to be supersport presenter though.
