Vodacom Blue Bulls - VODACOM BLUE BULLS VISIT LEHLABILE SECONDARY SCHOOL
VODACOM BLUE BULLS VISIT LEHLABILE SECONDARY SCHOOL
The Vodacom Blue Bulls are well aware of the importance of their fans. Some of the players joined a team from Absa and Saru to spend some quality time with eager boys and girls from the Lehlabile Secondary School.
Monday morning’s assembly was one of sheer delight as pupils were treated to a question and answer session with some of the talented Vodacom Blue Bulls players including: Cornel Hess; Louis Fouché; Travis Ismaiel; and Arno Botha, who addressed the students with the poise of a future leader while sharing a really inspirational and motivational talk. Also joining the four current players was the legendary John Mametsa, former Bulls and Blue Bulls winger. Mametsa was the first black South African to have appeared in 100 Currie Cup games.
The visit was also attended by Espresso Morning Show from SABC 3, Beeld, SuperSport Blitz and You Magazine.
With the focus of the morning being on the history of the Absa Currie Cup and how times have changed, the players highlighted the differences in playing and practicing in the past versus today. They were also keen to share their personal views and experiences regarding the competition.
The players were quick to relate their sporting goals and the discipline it takes to get there to that of the students studies. They also took the opportunity to encourage the learners to support their local teams and attend the Absa Currie Cup games – starting with the Currie Cup home game for the Vodacom Blue Bulls against Western Province on 14 September. The school was given 125 free tickets to attend.
Plenty of other prizes were given away, bringing special smiles to the future stars of tomorrow. The Blue Bulls would like to thank Lehlabile Secondary School, SARU and Absa for allowing us to be part of this initiative.

Trompie se Pa says:
Ek dink die Bulle moet end kry om spelers se kontrakte op te skort omdat spelers oorsee wil gaan. Dit help seker nie om iemand hier te hou as hy nie hier wil wees nie, maar dit los die Bulle in n dilemma. Flip kon nou waardevolle ervaring na die span gebring het, veral as ons die uitspeel-wedstryde haal…
Voel jammer vi wss maar ek dink hyt sy keuse gemaak om cheethas toe te gan ons moes hom dalk maar laat gan het al dan sou hy seker speel kans kry.... jammer om te sien flip gan nu weg al en nie currie beker kla speel maar ons moet die jong talent gebruik tot ons beskikking! Goeie span sou jan op 13 saam…
well chosen Nollis
Just hope our injuries up front row wise stays away. Pierre played for the u21's on Saturday. His first of the season. I havent been impressed with Dayan so far. Jan Serfontein will strenghten our defense. Very very happy…

Hier is die Blou Bulle se SPANAANKONDIGING vir Vrydagaand se wedstryd op Loftus:
Die Vodacom Blou Bulle-afrigter, Nollis Marais, het Springbokvaskopstut Marcel van der Merwe in sy beginspan en Springboksenter Jan Serfontein op die plaasvervangerbank ingesluit vir sy span wat Vrydag teen…
Jenkins was beseer maar sal die naweek vir O21 beskikbaar wees. Tyd om hom in te lyf in senior rugby - hy het hom in die JWC bewys. Hope rou talent en potensiaal.
Well done Nollis. Eks bly jy kies dadelik nie sommer reputasie nie. Glo ook jy kon nie wag vir Pierre om reg te wees nie. Jan sal sy plek moet verdien maar glo ook hy gaan. n groot Jammer dat hy gevors was om storm ram te speel. As hy sy natuurlike game kon speel was hy ook oppad England…
Die wp kan maar vir Marnitz koop. Hy is veelsydig tov 10 of 15 maar te een dimensioneel. Is baie nuuskierig om te sien wat die nuwe voorry gaan doen Vrydagaand. Selfs ou Chuck Nollis is gatvol scrumming gecoach. (Met erkenning aan Tom)
Span lyk al hoe beter!
As die tegniek reg is, kan hierdie skrum goed doen. Dean/Werner kan afwissel van die bank af verder in die kompetisie.
Dayan is ongelukkig nie opgewasse nie.
Great Jan is terug, hoop regtig hy kom nou tot sy reg en kan nou weer wys dat De Allende nie…
Ons kan dalk volgende jaar vir Bakkies ook betrek as mentor vir ons jong slotte.
