[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 622899, member: 40658"] Well, I think all of them will get an equal shot. Jacques Engelbrecht will mostly be on the bench as he is mainly an 8th man, but has been used at blindside flank. Du Plessis is a bit of a new Danie Rossouw. He can play 8, flank and lock, and I think that is how the bulls will use him. As for Jono Ross, I personally don't like him a lot, but he does the basics very well. I see him as the back-up to Stegman, and he can also play 8th man as he did for TUKS in the Varsity cup. My biggest worry is how the Bulls will turn over ball. Without Stegman, they don't have a fetcher. So my guess is they will go for a lot of bodies at the ruck, and try to outmuscle their opponents for the ball. It used to work in the past, but I just don't think it would be effective with the new ruck laws. Which also begs the question, if they are going to struggle to get posession, are they going to maintain the kick and chase game?? I'm worried [/QUOTE]
