Vodacom Bulls coach, Nollis Marais, made minimal changes to the squad that did battle successfully against the DHL Stormers last week, to take on an in-form Emirates Lions team in yet another massive local derby. Travis Ismaiel was withdrawn from the team due to personal commitments, and will be replaced by Bjorn Basson. Hooker Bandise Maku also comes in on the bench in place of Jaco Visagie in a straight switch.

Maybe could've had Renaldo Bothma and Roelof Smit on the bench instead of Hattingh and Steggies, but I guess they bring solid experience off the bench...
I think we can beat the Lions. We're at home, guys are confident and would've taken a lot from the Stormers game.
Good luck boys!!
Sterkte Bulle
HOU BY DIE BLOU
belowe om te help, maar hulle het nooit het my die loan.Until n vriend van my my bekend te stel aan mnr Richard Swart wat belowe het om my te help en wel sy het toe sy belowe sonder enige vorm van delay.I nooit gedink daar is nog betroubare lening leners totdat ek ontmoet mnr Anderson, wat inderdaad gehelp met die lening en het my belief.I weet nie of jy enigsins 'n behoefte aan 'n ware en dringende lening, gratis gevoel mnr Richard kontak via e-pos sy richardpokaloancompany12 @ gmail.com
Gqoboka impress my, maar ons moet kyk of ons skrums tot n minimum kan hou.
Go Bulls.
Good luck Bulle
Surely, if Roelof considers that Lappies is leaving the Bulls at the end of this season, then surely he'll be the openside in the inside lane. Maybe absorb as much knowledge as you can from the likes of Steggies and Lappies, together with a solid Currie Cup season and he'll be good to go in 2017.
Others like Bothma and Jackpot, will get their opportunities in future...
Nou vir die groot vraag: wie is die skeidsregter ?
He used to penalise our scrum quite a bit in the apst, but that's ofcourse when we had the wonderful Dean Greyling at loosehead
Dink ons het nog net een game gewen toe Joubert geblaas het, dit was teen die Stormers in die 2010 super finaal. Hy was so bang daardie dag vir al die Bulle in Soweto, toe moes hy volgens die reels blaas en ons het gewen.
Hy is seker nou lekker dikbek omdat sy gunsteling span pak gekry het teen die Bulle, ons sal hom uit die game moet speel, want die 50-50 calls gaan definitief nie na ons kant gaan nie. Joubert is persoonlik aangestel deur SARU om die Stormers in die uitspeelwedstryde in te blaas, come what may.
Ek kan al sien hoe hardloop hy al weer stert tussen die bene vir sy taxi na die eindfluitjie !
Maar ons sal hom inwag by die hekke, haha !
Die politieke kortsigtigheid van ons administrateurs gaan Suid-Afrikaanse rugby vernietig, hoor my lied!
In sy plek koop ons vir Jacobie Adriaanse, 'n volle 112kg.
Is dit nie bietjie te lig vir 'n stut nie ?
Ek raak self warm onder die kraag oor "transformasie". Ek sê nou die dag vir kollega van my wat so moan oor Affies se wit span dat hy praat my oupa se taal in die 1950's, behalwe dat die obsessie met kleur nou swart is en nie wit nie.Dis belaglik.
Jake White hou vd tawwe voorspelers van Pretoria. Nicholas gaan floreer en nog baie goeie speler word. As dit net dissiplinêr was dan is dit wraggies die langste detensie wat enige speler nog gesit het want hy is nou al 2 seisoene lank stout en iemand by Loftus sukkel om te vergewe. Die man moes seker iemand se vrou af gevry het.
Go BULLE go !!!
Is die CB span al iewers beskikbaar ?
As almal in ons span hulle hande opsteek, soos bv ons slotte teen die Stormers, kan ons wen.
Nou sit ons met Orie en Hattingh wat beslis nie Blou Bul slot standaard is nie.
Watch nou oor n jaar soek die Bulle n slot om te koop, want Orie en kie kom nie die mas op nie!
Dan net nog n kwaliteit speler wat die Bulle verwaarloos het.
Daar is mos n ander Janse van Rensburg wat nou begin kook by die Lions, ook weg by Bulle.
Die 2 van Rensburgs was die groot rede hoekom die Cravenweek van hulle jaar die vloer met opposisie gevee het
Baie sad oor hoe Bulle die beste talent mors. Nou nog met so n swak CB afrigter ook.
Indien die span ook Woensdae afgekondig word, is my vraag - waar is die webmeester van hierdie blog ?
And Slim182, as Bloukaap has pointed out earlier - Nicolas van Rensburg has been on and off the bench since 2014. He was ignored by Ludeke in 2015 and then shoved to the u21's in the CC of 2015. In 2016 he was selected on the bench twice and then kicked into the stupid and no logical CC competition, because the Bulls actually prefer the much overrated Marvin Ori. If I am working for a company and they use me and throw me around and then forget me and then use me again, I will start looking for a new company. The Bulls buy a lot of young guys and then keep them in the system for what? And secondly, expect a lot of young white players to leave the country because of the racist and degrading policies of the ANC and the Bulls are playing second fiddle and dance to the music. If I am a white player - I would also seriously consider leaving SA and make decent money overseas, like Richardt Strauss, Quinn Roux and CJ Stander.
Muzi, Orie was also impressive in last year's CC only to fade away half way. He had a decent game against the Force and then went flat against the Brumbies. Not really that impressive at all. once the competition gets tough he tends to be over shadowed, which explains why Jake White did not rate him but rather went for van Rensburg.
I just showed the more hungry team will win tomorrow. Waratahs took the Chiefs to cleaners in the second half, and that Chiefs side played good rugby. Hurricanes beat a well drilled defensive Highlanders side this morning.
Hope our Bulls are firmly on the ground and will take the game to the Lions. Marnitz Boshoff is a bit of a dark horse for me, haven't seen him in action at all this season.
And then you have idiotic statements like SLIM182 - should read DOM182.
Wiaan Liebenberg did not even get a Super 15 contract from BBR - he has been MoM 5 times for Montpellier - Jono Ross the most hated forward in BB history has just extended his contract for 5 years at Stade Francais - Paul Willemse the most admired lock in the French league was on the bench and would now play second fiddle to Orie. The list goes on and on. Why on earth would a youngster with potential like Nicholas stay? It is clear he is 5 or 6 in the lock pecking order. Like Rohan JvR who is now invaluable for the Lions or Francois Venter for the Cheetahs. Daar gaan nog baie spelers waai in die volgende jaar. Enige skrumskakel wat nie gekies word agv Rudi Paige - enige vleuel wat onder Basson moet speel.
En die herrie gaan nog kom oor nie genoeg spelers van kleur in die BB span.
So SLIM182 - die seuns wat waai is nie spoilt brats nie. Hulle loopbane is rugby - kort soos dit is - en hulle is volgens my slim en braaf en oopkop.
