The Bulls have lost three more players to the Euro, adding to their already pretty big list of Fourie du Preez, Victor Matfield, Bakkies Botha and Danie Rossouw.
It has been reported today that Gurthro Steenkamp and Currie Cup captain Gary Botha have signed three year deals to join Toulouse in France.
Steenkamp who has just returned from representing South Africa at the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand was the SARU Player of the Year in 2010 and has earned 40 Springbok Caps.
Gary Botha, who left South Africa after the 2007 RWC to join Harlequins in London, returned to South Africa in 2011 in the hope of making the RWC squad but a dip in form saw him not make the squad that included three hookers with his superior team mate Chiliboy Ralepelle making the squad.
The Blue Bulls union also announced the reelease of Stefan Watermeyer to join the Ospreys in Wales.

Eish, I really feel for them.
😛 dum dum dum the plot thickens 🙂 I wonder what muzi is gonna say about this
@KSA Shark © (Comment 1) : feeling sorry for the bulls will not be tolerated here 👿 if you getting soft go watch the super 14 2007 final! 😛
@Poisy (Comment 3) : if you knew me then you’d know I meant not a single word of that 🙂
@KSA Shark © (Comment 4) : ohhh poker face
My year just gets better 😥
Gurthro Steenkamp is a massive loss especially in the scrums where dean and werner struggled this year.
The impressive yound rising star Francois Venter forced watermeyer to leave.
Expect more press releases concerning players leaving.
Our beloved Heyneke Meyer has to make some tough calls he is the one who evaluated players who are not good enough for the bulls senior team.
@Poisy (Comment 5) : i’m waiting for your pal megatron
@Muzi (Comment 7) : lmfao 😀 I’m glad you are prepared!shame you take a lot of abuse here 😛
On a positive side of things i’m happy that the bulls under 19s and under 21s have made the junior finals.
Geez still can’t believe it that we did not make the currie cup semi finals. 👿 😥
@Poisy (Comment 8) : Yes because i am a blue bulls supporter

@Muzi (Comment 9) : do you know who the other finalists are?
@Poisy (Comment 11) : Sharks u/21 beat WP.

@Muzi (Comment 23) : lol alright stay I’ll leave,its a bulls posting anyway see ya around
I thought Guthro and Gary leaving was announced a while back or are my psychic classes finally paying off?
I almost feel for the Bulls. Guthro is a huge loss and will be felt. I thought Watermeyer was a decent player but I’ve never really rated Gary.
@Muzi (Comment 16) : Pit bull,lol,
I hope he does not call himself that.
@JarsonX (Comment 26) : I get frustrated when I see good center field players leaving and know we need some and we sit with the likes of MJ…
@Honey Badger (Comment 27) :
@Franshark (Comment 28) : In my honest opinion the sharks should have signed watermeyer this year i heard he was desperate to move to get some super rugby game time.
@Muzi (Comment 30) :
Ja, but in your opinion Pierre Spies is a good 8 and Steve Hofmeyr has talent…
@Muzi (Comment 30) : the relationship between sharks and bulls ; If they had free choice between Lambie and Jurgen Viser(spelling :() they would choose the later, and I think the same goes for us
@Talent (Comment 32) : Yip, your not just supporting a side, you’re buying into a rugby philosophy if you will
@KSA Shark © (Comment 1) : Really? 😐 😈
@KSA Shark © (Comment 4) : Thought so! 😈
@klempie (Comment 35) : 🙂 😆
@Big Fish (Comment 31) : :chuckles:
@KSA Shark © (Comment 36) : 😛
