| Briljante Sharks. Wat 'n vertoning van moderne rugby en die belangrikste is dat hulle drieë kan druk en drieë is iets wat ons as Blou ondersteuners nie meer ken nie. As mens na hierdie vertoning kyk dan moet mens half bly wees dat dit in die tweede helfte van ons semi-finaal teen die Sharks begin stortreën het, anders het ons Bulle miskien nog 'n groter pakslae gekry. Ek dink Suid Afrika het ook Saterdag 'n nuwe held gekry met die skitterende vertoning van Patrick Lambi. Ons eie Morne Steyn sal sy sokkies moet optrek, want hierdie Durbanse mannetjie kan voorwaar skop en aanval en hierdie stryd tussen hom en onse Morne in die toekoms gaan iets ysliks wees. Die arme WP het toe weer ge”choke” in nog 'n finaal en hulle het gewys dat hulle een van die mees “overrated” spanne in die land is. Hulle het gespeel soos ons Bulle die laaste ruk gespeel het en het net nooit gevaarlik gelyk nie en die paar keer wat hul probeer hardloop het het die Groot Beer van Natal, Willem Alberts, hulle een vir een afgemaai. Die WP se jong spanne het die mes nog dieper in ons Blou ondersteuners se harte ingedruk toe hul albei ons junior spanne maklik geklop het. Dit lyk of ons afrigters nooit leer nie en hulle het maar net weer probeer stampkar rugby te speel en ek is seker die meeste van ons ondersteuners besef noual dat daar 'n nuwe tipe rugby aan die ontwikkel is en dat die druk van driee die belangrikste geword het. Vir die eerste keer in baie jare het die Blou bulle geen bekers gewen nie, nie eers die Vrouebeker nie, en daar sal nou diep gedelf moet word na wat die probleem is. Ek persoonlik glo dat Heyneke Meyer, Frans Ludeke en kie vashou aan ou uitgediende idees, soos dat verdediging nog wedstryde kan wen. Dit is 'n uitgediende idee want met die vinnige balle uit die los wat spanne nou kry is dit onmoontlik om al die gate toe te stop en jy moet net meer drieë as jou opponente druk. More vertrek Piet Snorre se Springbok span oorsee met 'n span wat nie veel vertroue by my inboesem nie en nou dat ek hoor dat Adrian Jacobs, wat vanjaar nog nooit gespeel het nie, ook in die span is, is ek totaal verslae. Gelukkig het ons oor die jare geleer dat mense struikel en val oor die maatjies wat hulle om hulle saamtrek en dit is duidelik dat hy een van Piet Snorre se groot maatjies is. Victor Matfield sal die leisels moet styf vasvat as hierdie toer nie in 'n fiasko gaan uidraai nie, want sover was dit duidelik dat Piet Snorre en sy adjudante ook nie die nuwe rugby verstaan nie. Dit is so maklik, mens hoef nie die wiel weer uit te vind nie, want mens kan maar net na Saterdag se toets tussen Australia en die All Blacks kyk om te sien hoe moderne rugby gespeel word. Ek groet vandag met 'n beswaarde Blou hart, ou Blou grote. |

This may just go down as one of the least
contentious Springbok tour squads for some years.
Of course the proof of the attempted Grand Slam
pudding will be in the eating, but when you strip
away the variety of “unavailables” through injury,
the 30-strong party named after the Absa Currie
Cup final on Saturday seems pretty well-balanced
and brimful of potential.
It is a considerably less naïve squad, I think, than
left these shores for last year’s northern
hemisphere venture, where the Boks won just one
of three Tests and a dirt-track outfit was humbled
in two English appearances.
With eight Bulls players un the Springbok team,
the Bulls is well represented and can have a big influence on the team.
With Guthro Steenkamp, Wynand Olivier, Fourie du Preez and Danie Rossouw all out with
injury , the could have represented nearly half of the team.
Add to that the unlucky ones like Zane Kirchner, Dewald Potgieter and Gerhard van den
Heever and it just shows the talent the Bulls still have.

Dis nie lekke om te verloor nie.
Ons het eenvoudig net nie die bal besit gehaad nie.
Wonder wat was die finale tackle count wat die Bulle moes doen vandag.
Daar op die einde was die amper as die bal net laat loop is...
Die Bulle se game plan het vir die laaste paar mooi gewerk en ons kon ons gesag goed af dwing,
maar ek dink die ander spanne het genoeg tyd gehaad om 'n teen voeter te kry vir ons.
Dis dalk nou tyd om te begin fokus op volgende jaar en die wit bord nader te trek en 'n nuwe game
plan op die grond te sit...
Wen of verloor ek bly trots op die Bulle!!!

| U/19 Western Province were crowned champions in the under 19 competition sponsored by Absa on Saturday when they secured a well deserved 26-20 victory over the Blue Bulls in Durban. The Cape Town based squad raced to a convincing 20-6 halftime lead and also showed great composure to stop the Bulls who could have snatched victory in the final minute of the match. U/21 Western Province showed their class in the final of the Absa under 21 rugby competition overpowering the Blue Bulls 43-32 in Durban on Saturday. An outstanding individual performance by flyhalf Gary van Aswegen, who scored 28 of his team’s points, proved to be the deciding factor in the match which failed to live up to expectations. Both sides scored four tries with the last two of the Bulls only a consolation as the match had already been clinched by the Cape Town squad. Neither of the sides managed to play to their full potential during the first half as unforced errors and senseless kicking dominated proceedings. Province raced to an early lead thanks to an outstanding kicking display by Van Aswegen who converted five penalties before the break. |

Eerste, Spies en Stegman moes begin het. Spies om ons te help oor die voordeel lyn kom en
Stegman vir ball besit. dit was die groot twee aspekte wat ek dink ons geknou het.
Ons kan niks weg vat van die Sharks, hul het goed gespeel en het die oorhand gehad. miskien meer
honger gewees as ons? Miskien was dit tuisveld voordeel?
Mens kan nou nie anders om na dit te kyk, maar as al morne se skoppe oor was, was dit n ander ball
game. maar mens kan nie net staat maak op daai aspek van die game nie. en hoekom op aarde het
hy bal besit weg geskop so kort voor die eind vleitjie? dit het my wel baie ontstel en kon nie glo hy het
dit gedoen!!!!
Ek dink ons kan trots wees op on span. 2 uit 3 bekers is iets om oor te spog wat geen ander span kan
doen.
Hou jul koppe hoog BULLE. jul is die beste span in SA history en niemand kan dit van jul weg vat nie.
ALTYD N TROTSE BULL!!

Francois Brummer and Marnitz Boshoff are far better prospects at flyhalf than Morne.Both can take the
ball flatter and they are playmakers not one dimensional like steyn.......................
Watch how boshoff takes the gap in the under 21 games.I think Morne has lost his abilities as a
running flyhalf..........at the bulls he has been taught to kink kick and kick which will not benefit his all
roung game in future.................
