Bulls rock Thread

Devill in disguise here :D

which players are your buying now again seeing that you going to be relegated soon.
 
I doubt we will be buying anyone as we have already completed our shopping list from the Junior levels ;)
 
So where are the Lion's girls? Or must I go to the other thread? :confused:

Good luck to Wynand Olivier getting his place back from this chap.

The Sad thing is that Olivier will ten to one start as the bulls are at times a bit slow to react.

I think this week the bulls will have a VERY tough line out session as they were bullied by the lions at an aspect that should be one of their strong points.

I know they will probably pick Olivier ahead of Serfontein based on that stupid excuse of experience but on Saturday we all agreed that Serfontein was miles ahead of Olivier at this stage. Quicker, stronger, more skills and reads the game so much better.

Lineouts only went haywire in the second half and Frans Ludeke admitted at the post match presser that they will work on it.

Very few of the players that started in Soweto will play against the Cheetahs in Polokwane this weekend.

Lions captain JC Janse van Rensburg was full of praise for the Bulls youngsters and said: "The senior guys playing against the Cheetahs will really have to prove themselves because some of these youngsters are knocking on that door"

He was basically referring to Serfontein, Arno Botha, Trevor Ismail and even Jurgen Visser who had very good games for the Bulls

I am hopeful that the Bulls get a good rotation policy going for the Super Rugby, so that we can give the youngsters some experience and that the bulls then do not need another 3 year span to regroup when the seniors retire / move along.

It was good to see the Bulls play with ball in hand and not kick and chase for 90% of the game.

I agree that the youngsters did really stake a claim and I just hope the selectors and Ludeke sees it.
 
Ralepelle cited for dangerous contact

Bulls' hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle has been cited for dangerous contact in Saturday's 36-26 Super Rugby victory over Western Force at Loftus Versveld in Pretoria.

Ralepelle is alleged to have charged into a ruck without using his arms and striking Force winger Alfi Mafi.

On-field officials did not hand out a penalty for the offence, but after reviewing match footage the citing commissioner deemed the incident worthy of a red card.

The judicial officer for the hearing will be Jannie Lubbe SC and he will hear the case at 1530 GMT on Monday.

Lions' Butch James pled guilty to a similar offence in last year's Super Rugby competition and received a four-week suspension.

Chilibory cleared

Bulls hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle was found not guilty by a SANZAR judiciary on Monday after he was cited for allegedly contravening Law 10.4 (h) and 10. 4 (k).

The citing followed an alleged incident in the 11th minute of the Super Rugby match between the Bulls and Force played at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.

The citing officer deemed the incident, which was not picked up by the match officials, as meeting the red card threshold for foul play.

Judicial Officer Jannie Lubbe found Ralepelle not guilty after consulting with ex-professional player Shaun Payne, who acts in an advisory role in terms of Sanzar rules.

Ralepelle is free to play in the remainder of the competition.

From what I saw, I think he might be a tad lucky.

Who knows perhaps this is the year SANZAR do not screw Saffas :p
 
Kirchner offered R3.6m per year

Cape Town - Springbok and Bulls fullback Zane Kirchner has been offered €300 000 (about R3.6m) per year to play for Leinster, according to the Beeld website.

This comes after it was announced on Monday that Kirchner will join the Irish side later this year.

Despite a five month long effort by the Blue Bulls Company (BBC) to get the 28-year-old to extend his contract past the October 31, 2013 expiry date, the player’s agent confirmed a two year deal with the Irish province.

A final release date has not been established though and will be determined by the BBC board of directors, High Performance Manager Xander Janse van Rensburg said on Monday.

“We understand that an earlier release might be requested, but it is up to the board to approve that or not. We have been in talks with Zane and his agent since November and although it is very disappointing to lose his services, we wish him well with the new phase in his career,” Janse van Rensburg said.

“From our side, with coach Frans Ludeke very involved and in regular consultation with Springbok management, we tried our best to keep the player in Pretoria, but could in the end not compete with the exchange rate and the expectations of Zane and his agent.”

Beeld also reports that scrumhalf Jano Vermaak's future at the union is uncertain, with French giants Stade Francais after his services.

The Bulls currently top the South African Super Rugby Conference, following an impressive 34-0 win over the Kings in Port Elizabeth over the weekend.

They host the Waratahs on Saturday (17:05 kick-off).
