[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 98906"] Probable Bulls line-up, considering warmup games, current form and injuries: 15- Johan Roets 14- Akona Ndungane 13- JP Nel 12- Wynand Olivier 11- Bryan Habana 10- Derick Hougaard 9- Fourie du Preez 8- Anton Leonard 7- Wikus van Heerden 6- Pedrie Wannenburg 5- Vic Matfield(capt) 4- Danie Rossouw 3- Danie Thiart 2- Gary Botha 1- Wessel Roux There are a couple of early injuries in the front row- Guthro Steenkamp, Chilliboy Ralepelle and Rayno Gerber (ex-Framesby High, us Framesby boys know how to play rugger!)- that`s an entire front row. Bakkies Botha is also still injured, expected back in about a month`s time only. Also injured in the pack- Pierre Spies, Tim Dlulane and Adriaan Fondse, a virtual Bakkies Botha clone at 4. Could be the best oppurtunity the Sharks get to upstage the Bulls, with their depth suspect in quite a few positions, most notably front and second row. Make no mistake, if that is the run-on team, it`s a pretty fearsome pack, but not much to fall back on from the bench. And it`s expected to be a brutal encounter up front. That said, I still think the Bulls will sneak home in a tight, conservative, forward-dominated battle, by virtue of their line-out and the boot of Hougaard. [/QUOTE]
