The Bulls have named a strong line up to play the Waratahs this Friday evening, a match that the Bulls have to win to keep the playoffs dream alive, and the Waratahs will have to up their game if they want to beat this team.
Danie Rossouw has finally been rewarded with a starting berth after some amazing performances from the bench as he replaces Dewald Potgieter on the side of the scrum. Gary Botha has been selected ahead of Chiliboy Ralapelle to start in the front row.
The Bulls are still waiting for news of the fitness of Akona Ndungane, with Gerhard van den Heever bracketed in with the wing. Should Ndungane not be fit to play, Stephan Dippenaar will come onto the bench.
Bulls: Zane Kirchner , Akona Ndungane /Gerhard van den Heever , Jaco Pretorius , Wynand Olivier , Bjorn Basson, Morné Steyn , Francois Hougaard, Pierre Spies , Danie Rossouw, Deon Stegmann, Victor Matfield (c), Bakkies Botha , Werner Kruger, Gary Botha, Dean Greyling.
Replacements: Chiliboy Ralepelle , Rossouw de Klerk, Flip van der Merwe , Dewald Potgieter, Dustin Jinka, Francois Brummer , Gerhard van den Heever /Stephan Dippenaar

is it wrong of me to suddenly become a waratahs supporter?

A one week turn around in loyalty.. hehe
I read that between Danie and Gary, they are adding almost 200 caps’ worth of experience to the starting line up!!
Go Waratahs!!

@KSA Shark © (Comment 5) : No Fear, Craig Joubert is the referee this weekend.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 7) :
So the Waratahs actually stand a chance?!
Gary Botha hasn’t been selected ahead of Chilliboy. Its merely Gary’s turn to play. 🙂
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 8) : The guys in Blue will be victorious. 🙂
@robdylan (Comment 1) : Rock and a hard place really, unless you beat the cheatahs, the winner of this game overtakes you on the log!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 10) :
I wonder what jersey the Waratahs will be playing in?
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 12) : Yeah I’m not sure who will be wearing the alternate strip.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 13) :
Bulls in Red perhaps? lol!
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 14) : That WOULD be hilarious. 😆 I won’t be surprised though. I’m sure if the Bulls play in their alternate strip that it will have a LOT of red in there.
Just for fun: A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I’ll serve you, but just don’t start anything.” 🙂
@KSA Shark © (Comment 10) : my pick will also be blue.
@Greg (Comment 11) : if the warratahs goes past us we can not do anything about pulling it back, but if the bulls go past we have a chance of regaining ground when we play them. So I rather hope for a 4 pointer for the bulls.
@franshark (Comment 16) : One for Richard.
Two Man U fans smashed the windscreen of my car this morning. 👿
I could have swerved but I thought “Stuff them”.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 19) : 😆
@franshark (Comment 18) : All we have to hope for is that we beat the Cheetahs.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 19) :
hahaha.. thanx KSA..
@KSA Shark © (Comment 21) : we just need to win the next 3 games and we’ll make it. Simple as that.
Lose any of the next three and all bets are off
@robdylan (Comment 23) :
Sounds easy..
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 24) : @robdylan (Comment 23) :
