Loftus Versfeld, Pretoria

Easy win for the Bulls, surely.

 

[Bull]

Bulls need to take 5 points from this game.

 

[TRF_heineken]

They should take 5 points. But the Bulls have had the tendency to be horrible after they had a bye in the past.

That being said, I can't imagine them losing this match. Their maul alone should do the trick.

 

[Bull]

As long as the Bulls don't use the same type of game plan they used against the Tahs in the first half they should be fine. The need to start the first 20 mins off with a couple of rolling mauls, put pressure on the Landers line out etc. drain their energy then they'll do just fine.

They should bring Jan Serforntein and Arno Botha back, then they will destroy them

Arno yes, but Jan is with the JWC babyboks. so Meisiekind will be at 12.

oh well, make the best of it then and skip pass 12

Meisiekind did very well against the canes, he made his outside centre shine and his defence was as good as always, but his lines aren't as good as Serfontein's.

"In other changes, centre Jan Serfontein is likely to start at inside centre after recovering from a leg injury, which will see Wynand Olivier drop down to the bench, or even miss out completely to make way for the more versatile Lionel Mapoe."

Now that is good news nê Heinie

Yes it is!! I thought he already joined the babyboks along with Senatla who missed the London 7's.

Bulls by 25!!

I happy if Serf starts, but please PLEASE don't let mapoe replace wynand. Mapoe is horribly slow(physically and witted) and has not impressed me once this season. Wynand cam out-sprint him with one leg tied behind his back, im sure even Ludeke can.

 

[Gena_ZA]

Think Mapoe is now a "full blown winger" blabla bla bla
I hope Arno will be there and not one of the Potgieters

Serf was talking on Jacaranda FM with Wynie Strydom 2 days ago - he is still a old-school and called the host/presenter "Oom" (Afrikaans for Uncle and sign of respect toward your elder"

Agreed, especially Dewald.

I like that. I spoke to him, albeit briefly, at loftus when I bought tickets, and he really is down to earth and friendly. Not something you could say about hougi.
