[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 565374, member: 40658"] No you were questioning whether the Bulls had black supporters... I haven't seen WP making an effort to host a game in Khayelitsha or anywhere in the Cape flats for that matter to give back to their Previously Disadvantaged People the opportunity to watch a big game in their own stadium which isn't too far to walk to... Oh really? so what you are saying is that not a single person on the Tuks roster are registered as a student at Tuks?? That's a very big allegation to make. Let's use an example shall we? Clayton Blommetjies only got a Bulls contract [B][U]AFTER[/U][/B] his stellar performance in the Varsity Cup last year. Now I agree that most players do have some sort of Bulls contract, but that is because the Bulls are part of the Tuks Rugby academy, just like the Lions are part of the UJ rugby academy and the Free State part of Kovsies rugby academy. How about you stop this vendetta you have against the Bulls, when you know just like everyone else that every Major Province does exactly the same as the Bulls. can you honestly sit here and say that not one single player from Maties or UCT has not represented the WP at some stage?? I know a lot of those guys has played Vodacom Cup, WP U21 and WP U19. What makes it worse is that WP has the luxury of 2 big Universities at their disposal while the Bulls have just Tuks, and a little bit of interest in Pukke. the fact is that Tuks, along with their high performance centre and the Bulls development academy are just getting a better result than their counterparts at the moment. It's not their fault the other Unions and Universities are a bit behind. Now speaking of Handre Pollard. WP had first choice on him, but he, as individual made the choice to come to the Bulls. this has been said a lot on this forum, that people should stop saying that the Bulls and Sharks poached players. it's still the player's choice where he wants to play at the end of the day.
