S14: The Semis

[PaarlBok]

OK, OK can understand you lot dont want to talk about this but hell I cant get myself for starting to get into a semi final spirit. My two teams to win obvious the cattle lot and sure that lot up north just had to force me in to poach BB2007 avator to get behind those biltong eating Brute lot.

A tough game against the Saders but some interesting stats between this two S14 greats. The Brutes still see ghosts (those lot never forget) from 1999 when Mehtens kicked that droppie and show the Rings crowd the middle finger.

Since then they really climb the CC ladder and with Meyer they sure not only build a tough provincial team but make the bulk of a WC winning Springbok team. The way they play the game make them perfect for business end matches and they sure have the experience plus the heads to do it again. Said it many times before but this lot on current form wont be beat easily specially in the Bull Ring.

The Saders maybe the one team to give them a loss but with their current crop I dont think that will happen. They could not do it two years back with Carter and Deans and surely the Brutes the favourates for 2009.

Vodacom Bulls: 15 Zane Kirchner; 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 Jaco Pretorius, 12 Wynand Olivier,11 Bryan Habana; 10 Morn? Steyn, 9 Fourie du Preez; 8 Pierre Spies, 7 Dewald Potgieter, 6 Deon Stegmann, 5 Victor Matfield (captain), 4 Bakkies Botha, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Derick Ku?n, 1 Gurthr? Steenkamp. Substitutes: 16 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 17 Rayno Gerber, 18 Danie Rossouw, 19 Pedrie Wannenburg, 20 Heini Adams, 21 Burton Francis, 22 Gerhard van den Heever.

I'm looking forward to the semis PB. I cant pick between the Crusaders and the Bulls with the irony being that if the Bulls do win it, I think it will be their backs that make the difference!

Hurricanes to upset Chiefs and to lose the final. ie Bulls or Crusaders to win it.

Mehrtens was class. Love the salute.

I am tipping the canes and bulls to get up. Both will be hard games, but the chiefs injuries this week have been enough for to lean towards the Canes despite not having home ground advantage. I think it will take something special from McCaw for the Saders to get up, but I can see the Bulls potting a few field goals to get home.

 

[Scarfman]

Me too: Bulls Hurricanes

 

[PaarlBok]

Glad to see you lot stay with the only team in Blue. Dunno about the Canes. Have watched the Chiefs since their Newlands trip and they sure look like a confident determinated unit. Think the Chiefs at home will win it up front and if they can keep the pressure, the fancy Nunu and kie will drop pill and play like they are due to do. Brutes & Chiefs for me.

I've seen that clip before and never realised he raised thee finger at Loftus. Dickhead.

Welcome back, love that StoetBul! Hope that lot have enough biltong and Charge Office Coffee. At what time will it start locally?

Good Luck Brute Broer!

Just want to add maybe a little bit off topic the Cheetah Stormers incident with Luke Watson. A lot have been write or said when the Cheetah lot jump on him. This is what they actually told look in Boer Taal.

 

[PaarlBok]

Cant blame poor Dyllie des Fountain to want to go in there and help his captain. He come from the birth place of Boertaal, must have been a frighting moment for him. :nta:

For the sake of everyone else it reads " if you throw up here, you're fucked"

 

[PaarlBok]

Well done Chiefs, the first cattle stock has done it! Book your plain fior the Ring in the final. 8)

 

[chriscullen]

Fantastic win by the Chiefs, good game to watch. Cheering on the Crusaders now.

 

[Blue]

Wynand Olivier has withdrawn (shit, farkit, bums, balls and buggery). Jaco Pretorius moves to 12 with Marius Delport coming in to 13. This is a big blow for the Bulls. Why Julies wasn't considered is beyond me. Delport is a very average player and Pretorius is not suited to 12.

Now I am very worried.

 

[PaarlBok]

Dunno , maybe a switch with Morne in 12 and Francis in 10 also a good option if things go screwed. saw last night on our TV News butchers have sold double their amount of Biltong and Droee wors in Pretoria. Will be a hot enviroment.

JP Nel now officially finish with SA rugby

Furious Nel off to Japan

Bulls centre JP Nel has expressed his anger with SANZAR, saying he will never play rugby in South Africa again.

This comes after Nel failed in his attempt to overturn a four-week suspension for a stiff-arm tackle on Sharks fullback Stefan Terblanche.

The Bulls defeated the Sharks 27-26 and secured home ground advantage for their Super 14 semi-final clash with the defending champion Crusaders on Saturday. However, the four-week ban has effectively ruled Nel out of the all-important fixture and possible final next weekend.

"My dreams of playing for the Bulls in a final at Loftus have been shattered," Nel said in an interview with Sport 24.

Despite this being Nel?s third suspension in as many years, he feels he has been unfairly branded as a dirty player.

"I very much wanted to return for another Super 14 season next year, but I can't. Any team that picks me now will be running a risk, regardless of what I do. So I'd rather start over in a new place where I can be judged instead of being condemned.

"I played a full season in Japan and thirteen Super 14 matches without so much as a penalty against me. Then there is one incident where I plead my innocence, and I am punished for such a long period. It?s unfair towards me as well as my team."

Nel has decided to return to Japan having secured a deal with club side NTT in the hope of making the national side for the 2011 World Cup in New Zealand.

?I will try to make the Japanese team which will play in the World Cup in New Zealand in 2011. I'll do my best to make that team. I had Bok dreams, but after the suspension I know they won't be realised."
