Brumbies V Bulls

[Moses]

Dippenaar at 13. Big call. No, huge call.

Stand up son. This is the big time.

Now would be a great time to insert Mortlock into my fantasy team!

Looks like a good Brumbies side if they run out like that.

Bulls by 15. Just noticed Ma'afu selected over Sheperdson who needs a kick up the ass.

Yep, make no mistake Slaptjips & Ludeke have picked the KoringBoer, Paul Roser with a purpose. They could easily have gone for experience putting JL Potgieter in 12 & Meisiekind in 13.

This is Dippenaar big change. Swim Jannie swim!

Big blow fopr the Bulls.

Second rower Danie Rossouw out with a knock to the neck in training. Replaced by Flip vd Merwe, a big unit but they lose tons of experience and some mobility in the T5.

Not good for the Bulls.

But good for the Brumbies.

If Giteau and Elsom can play at their best, or close to it, without having even a trial game, the Brumbies are in with a shot.

I think the Tahs have a good shot against the Stormers too. The Stormers weren't that great in beating the Lions but for a brilliant 5 minutes when they scored 2 softish tries, though their defence was good. The Tahs were even worse beating the Reds.

It will be the team that overcomes their lethargy best that will win this game - and that could be the visitors if they play as well as they did in their 1st game on their RSA tour last year.

Bliksem thats not good news for the Brutes. Now they should have played the Galpil Steenkamp. Still think the Brutes will take this one.

This is a tough one too choose, IMO brumbies on paper look the stronger side but morne steyn is always a danger with the boot. I think the Bulls will win this one because Gits, Elsom, Mortlock will probs still be finding form. Hopefully they will come out playing close to their best but i just dont see it happening unfortunatly.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) you idiot! You're right, but why say it?

Brumbies kingpin Matt Giteau has lambasted his team-mate Adam Ashley-Cooper for calling the Vodacom Bulls “parasites”.

Giteau, who came through his team’s training session at Zwartkops unscathed on Thursday, immediately distanced himself from the comments made by Wallaby teammate Ashley-Cooper which are certainly set to give the Bulls more motivation ahead of Saturday’s Vodacom Super 14 game.

Cooper called the Bulls “parasites” and said in an interview with the Canberra Times they played “such a parasitic game of footy, their game plan, they just rely on putting all the pressure on you and wait for you to slip up.”

But Giteau quickly slapped his teammates words down, and indicated there was a certain bit of unhappiness about giving the Bulls some motivation ahead of the clash. Giteau even went as far as to call Ashley-Cooper “dumb”.

“I don’t agree that they play like parasites. Adam can be dumb at times and say the wrong things. They’ve been top of the table in Super rugby and Currie Cup for a number of years, so they’re obviously doing something right.

“They are certainly a side who can punish you if you make mistakes, so you just have to limit those.”

The Brumbies playmaker was happy that he got through the training sessions well but said he was looking forward to the challenge of facing Morné Steyn again.

“I’m looking to the game, a little disappointed at how the season started for me, but I’m looking forward to it.” “I’ve got a little bit of extra weight on at the moment, which never hurts for someone my size. But I’ve been able to get a bit of extra work done.

“I’ve played him (Morné) a few times, and played with him for the Barbarians, where I saw a different side of him. He is obviously a world class kicker who can dictate a game tactically as well, so for me, it is more about how the team performs. If the team performs well, then I’ve done my job.”

Giteau’s main concern seems to be fitness, and there are question marks on whether he will complete the game, with a first half appearance the only certainty at this stage.

That's hilarious :lmao:. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) didn't say they were parasites but rather they play a parasitic type of rugby - ie, they live off the mistakes of their opposition. :lmao:

You can't give the Saffa media the slightest opening when it comes to their precious rugby players.

eg Will Genia: "Yeah Victor Matfield won man of the match, and FdP was the second best player out there."
Headline: "GENIA: FDP NOT THE BEST!!!!"

Dont throw your Aussie press away by any means. They are all the same.

Find it funny why Giteau calls him a dummy then.

When they write something about Snor, your the first one to fell for their shite.

No Brute Cows at prematch in the Bull Ring for this clash
Rugby365

* Meanwhile the BBC are also in a legal dispute over their famous pre-match entertainers, the Bulls Babes.

"Bulls fans and other followers will notice that the famous Bulls Babes will not perform at the first Super 14 home match of the Bulls," the BBC said in a statement ahead of Saturday's encounter with the Brumbies.

"The absence of the Bulls Babes is as a result of a dispute between the Blue Bulls Company [BBC] and the company that managed the Bulls Babes under contract from BBC," the statement said.

"The dispute concerns the ownership of the trade mark BULLS BABES.

"Both parties have sought legal advice and correspondence has been exchanged between their attorneys.

"There will be no performances by the Bulls Babes until further notice from the BBC."

They have gone on strike and will no perform for Joost and Pedrie with Steve Hofmeyers Liefling song.

We'll just have to make peace with Moses avator. (is that backflip loaded ones the Stormers or Tjarks?)

:nta: Actually I was laughing at Giteau's reaction. Snor can be judged on his stupid hypocritical whingy comments. The press don't need to beat up anything he says. Pity you're the only one who can't see that but then again you're a bit of a looney as well.

 

[Brumby Jack]

Thank God the Shorks cheer girls haven't gone on strike!
They're the only reason half the people turn up

 

[Spook]

The Bull Gals are pretty good as well. Shark wenches show more flesh though.

What are you on about?

Gits commented on something his teammate said and you blame the SA media. You're confused.

Oh and the Aus media has about 100 years on the SA media when it coems to twisting words. The SA media are amateurs in that department.

I've lived long enough in both countries to know....

Anyway the day I take any media seriously is the day I check out. Pick up this morning's paper and read Growden and Fitzsimons. Good for a luagh, but little else.

I'll tell you one difference. In SA there are rugby journo's who actually underastand the game. There are preciously few here who actually have the faintest clue.

PS the Bulls girls get better every year.

Vokket what a performance by the Brutes. Got Rob Louw (was tested on friday and was found clean of cancer) at the losie and when he got there he could not believe the scoreline. Young Gerhard and Dippenaar showed there is life after Habana , no wonder they lead the log and it will take some team to beat them at the Ring. If you got the structures you will be strong for years to come.

 

[Spook]

The Parasites are impossible to stop when on the front foot and at home. Spies was immense. A backrow featuring Spies and Rocky would be pretty hard to contain. Hoiles needs to lose the captaincy - there is no way he should be guaranteed a spot. Give it to the Rock.

Bluey, the Aussie media are a bunch of cvnts (Wayne Smith is decent though). No argument there.
