Dean Greyling, Meisiekind and Dewald Potgieter back in the team! some good experience right there!!

 

[cyclone101]

I must say that I think they are pushing Dewald a bit quick after his hamstring tear, but I think Steggies' injury is forcing their hand a bit, two weeks ago they said he would only be back for the local games.

Yeah true, but we need some experienced guys there... I would have let Potgieter be on the Bench and Start Arno Botha...

 

[cyclone101]

Well, from an injury perspective I would put Potgieter on first, because if he gets injured then you wouldn't have to sub twice. I am a bit scared of what Hosea Gear might do if the bulls defense does not improve a lot. But I think the bulls will take this one by 5 points.

I don't think the loose-trio is our biggest problem against the landers. We really have a big problem in the mid-field with defence. And against a team like the Highlanders you need to be rock solid on defence.I think Sadie still need to prove himself in the Bulls camp. Well they may call him 'meisiekind' or 'prince Charming' but Olivier tackles like a mad monster.

vBookie Highlanders-Bulls

vBookie added

 

[cyclone101]

wow, 10/1 bulls less than 7 from vbookie

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

Hahaha, I messed it up. Should have been 10/11, not 10/1.

Fixed it now but your bet is still valid on a 10/1 so you are lucky

Any help we can get will be great to catch up with your unrealistic vBookie total.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

I got there because of last years Currie Cup. I put all my money on Griquas by more than 7 when they played the Sharks in Kimberley. Turned out they won haha

 

[admartian]

This is gonna be tough. But I can see the Highlanders squeaking past somehow.

 

[Kiwiwomble]

i hope your right, will be good to stop the slide

The Highlanders aren't the most multi-dimensional team in the competition but they thrive with ball in hand and I expect they'll get a lot of ball so the Bulls need to have improved their defense drastically which i can't see happen in two weeks but with Olivier and Potgieter back they should be better equipped... I'll call a rare draw.

Just had a look at the teams and Bulls to pull through IMO.

That's because you just want your team to pass the Bulls on the log... You jealous *******!!

 

[cyclone101]

The bulls need a bonus point if they want to stay on top an have a chance in the play-offs. I think the bulls can steal the cup from right under the other teams noses if they can secure the top spot and have the home game advantage. But I am afraid, if they can't, I don't see them beating someone in an away final this year, not in their current form. Still love them though.

 

[Cave Dweller]

I hope the Highlanders kick the living snot out of them. By 30 or 40 points.

 

[Gena_ZA]

Wonder if Sadie will start to shape, up to know he has been and a bad buy, but everyone says he has class, time will tell

So you pick an international side over a SA side?

Shame, where did it go wrong, were you dropped as a baby?

 

[TRF Mr Fish]

Maybe he just wants the Stormers to go top of the SA table?
