Bulls coach Frans Ludeke has emerged from a crisis meeting at Loftus hanging on to his job by the skin of his teeth. Bulls CEO Barend van Graan and Union President Boet Fick have given Ludeke his second “vote of confidence” in just 6 weeks.
Ludeke was called in to explain the defending champions’ current log position (they are second last after 8 games) and to “take accountability” for the disastrous tour of the Antipodes, which saw the Pretoria team go winless overseas for the first time in 6 seasons. The meeting apparently ended amicably with smiles and backslaps all round, but one can’t help the feeling that Frans will soon be starting to wonder which one of his allies is holding the knife.
Eddie Jones has reluctantly rolled into town to do a three day ambulance job, but the sentiment at Lofuts (reading between the lines) is that if they give Ludeke enough rope, he will have hanged himself well and truly by the close of the Super 14 and they can start their process of finding a proper coach and building for 2009.
This year is already a lost cause for the Bulls.

‘This year is already a lost cause for the Bulls.’
And i’m loving every minute of it…
can’t say I’m hating it overly.
Kind of hope they beat the Canes, though… keep the chasing pack away. It would certainly do the Stormers a big favour
I think they will beat the Canes up…
You gotta feel for the likes of Du Preez and a few others playing under this plonker, reckon Fourie would do a better job coaching and playing.
That said its kind of sweet to see the arrogance in Tshwane evaporate week by week.
This guy should never have got the job.
I do, however, feel that they’ll beat the Canes this week… Habana has this ability to get the players around him to play as well.
Ghost – I’m waiting for your predictions before I make mine, swaer 😉
Let’s hope they at least thump the Tah’s and Canes for us…
Will get them to u tomorrow morning, Rob… Thanks for doing the predictions last week for me, btw
BBC should appoint Chester as head coach

I really hope they keep Ludeke. Another year of watching them get the crap kicked out of them would be great.
Afrikaans is dit ‘n Afkappings teken, maar in New Zealands beteken dit afkopstamp!

Watching the Bulls playing
They could BE the boels playing
That too. 😆
lets look at it from FL view point, last year the bulls gave points away at Moftus Persveld to the Sharks and 2 other teams only, they are banking on that this year the same will happen, me thinks not so they will bleed somemore on the grass of Moftus this year then there will be no more excuses for FL and “we will take full points in our remaining games” Tick Tock Tick Tock for FL
