    I thought Sithole from Jeppe is also one to watch. Injects a lot of energy and enterprise into Jeppe’s game.

    The big question is who do you back to be the other scrumhalf in the SAS main team???

    I could not help but see in the Bulls B team – another scrumhalf who is a joy to watch – Derick Kuhn

    Zirk is SA Skole materiaal…dit is tusen hom en De Villiers! En die Nr 6 van St Albans moet fenominaal wees om Potgieter uit die begin span te hou!

    Dis nogal ‘n indictment vir die res van die 9s in Pretoria…

    Verbeel ek my, of is Yuvrah George in die span hierbo as die back-up skrumskakel? Speel hy nie vleuel vir Garsies nie?

    No problem – the world has returned to it’s axis… 10 Affies in a Bulls team… world order has been restored!

    I know we’re known as Gapsfontein, but you’re pushing the boundaries a little here – if we managed to nab Ruben Groenewald and Luan Potgieter mid-season from Affies as your team sheet above suggests, we’ll never be forgiven!

    Gustav Schaffner from Menlo is a warrior. The amount of work he does on the field is astonishing, making turnovers and is a trojan on defense. It’s like playing with two openside flanks.

    There is a nice video out there about Zirk and his road to recovery from a bad injury to get to this fitness level where he can compete for an CW and even a SAS place.

    For today’s game, Gustav Schaffner from Menlo will be the backup 9 but the Bulls have plans to head to Craven Week in Middelburg with just one scrumhalf in their 23 player squad
    But will only go with one scrummie for Craven Week
