Bulls 1st XV is playing overseas and/or injured. The current squad is 2nd leaning to 3rd team.

Over the last 4 years consider the players they've lost to foreign clubs.

Backs:
Hougaard, MS, JJ, Wynand, Gerard Van der Heever, Kirchner, Jurgen Visser, Small Smith.

Forwards:
CJ Stander, Morne Mellett, Victor, Flip, Juandre, Jacques du Plessis, Wiaan Liebenberg, Jacques-Louis, Chilliboy, Paul Willemse, Dewald, Jono Ross,

They on a hiding to nothing. It's nothing short of a miracle that they still competitive with their depleted squad.

In the same time Bulls have sign players.

Forwards:
Trevor Nyakane,Marcel van der Merwe, Adriaan Strauss, Callie Visagie, Lappies Labuschagné, Freddy Ngoza, Lizo Gqoboka, Grant Hattingh.

Backs:
Rudy Paige, Piet van Zyl, Jamba Ulengo, SP Marais.

The Bulls have young Back line but the Forwards is disappointing, Springbok front row and scrum not working.
 
I like the new bonus point rules. Game was decided but both teams fighting it out to earn the BP.

Of all the players you mentioned I would only really consider: Hougard and Small Smith (even though he is with the cheetahs) in the backs and CJ Stander, Juandre Kruger, Paul Willemse and Wiaan Liebenberg with the forwards.
 
Sunwolves being rolled by the Stormers. I do not see the momentum change in this game, the Stormers 8-pack has depth on the bench. Game over.

Sunwolves are useless

I'm only glad that Jean-Luc du Plessis is a good stand in. Du Preez should be worried, Daniel had a really good game when they rolled the Blue Bulls today. The two Du Plessis boys, outstanding.

The Sunwolves, their backline is underutilised, Hammett should perhaps move Lolohea to centre, Pisi to the back and Riaan to wing. There is too much greed amongst the loosies. The props suck, much to learn.

Definitely agree on jean luc. Although a bit of a defense blunder on that last sunwolves try.
 
Why warn the Breezer for a shoulder charge but take action when it's on the other foot ....... consistency refs

Should have been yellow only, imo.

I agree, but Tim Bond is a card and penalty magnet, like Ed Quirk. Though you need them to challenge to get the ball in the rucks they are ill-disciplined.

Since Bond had already been suspended, the upcoming suspension might be 3-8 weeks pending on the review.
 
Lazy this morning and Google skills are lacking.

What was that site to stream rugby on roku or plex?
 
Gives one an indication of how tough this competition is when you see, what is effectively the Argentinian national team, getting beaten week in week out...
