Cook will be out of action for six weeks and Kirsten for two, while Visagie will undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury he picked up in the win over Griquas on Friday.
Team doctor Org Strauss also expressed caution on the availability of Akona Ndungane, who is recovering from a hamstring strain and a call on his participation in the Loftus clash will be made on Wednesday.
Tony Jantjies (back), Jono Ross (contusion shoulder), Rudy Paige (shoulder), Waylon Murray (neck) and Francois Venter (mouth) will only train on Tuesday, Strauss said, but all should be available to play.
Dink tog n wen bly n wen. Hulle is nog jonk en nog nie baie saam gespeel nie. Dink soos hulle meer wen sal die selfvertroue bou en die in n goeie span verander. Stem ook met meeste van die posts saam dat Paige nie goed genoeg is vir my op die vlak nie en kry die bal stadig uit. Die res van die span lyk heel goed. Sal ook net vir Bullbring in bring vir hattingh. En Jacques Engelbrecht van die bank af speel die week en met Callie beseer Maku in bring op haker. Verder lyk die span reg vir groot dinge

@23 bendiebul, jys reg ek glo nie daar sal veel verandering wees behalwe vir Ruan Snyman dalk begin en n paar veranderinge op die bank nie. Dit lyk ook nie of Pollard gaan skuif van die o/21 span na die bank nie en ek dink dis goeie oordeel, sodat hy genoeg selfvertroue kan opbou. Ek wens net Frik Kirsten en Callie Visagie is gouer weer reg as wat hulle dink.

Dis jammer oor die beserings (veral die 6 weke vir Cook), maar ek glo ons het nog steeds genoeg spelers en talent om die knoop deur te haak. Dit sal interessant wees om te sien of Pine nog 'n week gaan volhard met Paige; ek hoop werklik nie so nie. Posted by sakkie6yster on 20 August 2013 08:03

#23 hou van jou span.maar stem ook saam dat jantjies n kaans moet kry langs n goeie 9 en gee pollard nog n week by O21's..sal dan daar ook net meer posetief raak. Jy se jacques dup op 7. Ek wil rerig vir vleis in begin span sien en dis verseker dat jono ross nie gedropped sal word nie,want hy Is kaptein en het ngals goeie rugby gespeel vrydagaand teenoor die ander. 6sal wiaan bly-hy was nog nooit briljant nie,maar nooit swak nie(wil meer sien). Ek wonder kan ons nie vleis op 7verwag nie? As hy nie kan regkom op 7 nie ,kan ross nie 7speel en vleis 8nie? Jacques dup ook n lekker impak speler. Ek dink bilring moet ook nou kaans kry en wys hkm hy geteken het. Dink hy kan op bank wees met grant wat begin. As ons lynstane suffer sal ons die 2vroeg moet omruil. My span vir saterdag-15visser(hy is die bulle se volgende 15,want zane weg so hy moet nou voorberei word op 15 en net daar speel om net beter te wees vir S15) 14sampie(attack goed en defence was beter teen griquas. Nooit rerig opgeskiet nie). 13beyers-baie goeie game gehad teen griquas,paar groot linebreaks gehad en dan kort jy vinnige bal wat paige nie aan kon dink nie,griquas terug in defence en dan jaag hy iets aan. 12venter (sterk op defence ,maar wil meer op attack sien. 11blommetjies(hy bring net dai bietjie meer "flair" daardie onvoorspelbaarheid en jy weet nie wat om te verwag nie. Onsettend goeie aanvallende speler en dan praat ek nie eers van sy dienste in die lig nie.) 10jantjies (moet nog 1kaans kry langs n decent 9) 9snyman (teen wp n verskil aan spel gemaak en in saterdag se game ((bietjie wat hy gespeel)) het ook het die bulle se spel gevloei. Baie flatt gepass en manne in gapings in gewerk.) 8ross (goeie keuses as kaptein sover en kom lekker oor die voordeelyn) 7vleis(lekker ervaring wat hy bring en hy kan lekker runs maak soos n cj stander en heelwat driee ook druk) wiaan(nog nie happy nie,maar nog n kaans of 2 kan werk) 5grant(hy sal moet begin regkom in lynstane en algemene spel. Se nie hy speel swak nie ,maar hy speel asof hy weet hy gaan span maak. Volg jaar kan n flip maklik 5toe skyf en paul. Ook n bulbring-hatting moet nnou sy hand opsteek. 4willemse -algemene spel en krag baie goed ,maar sal sy man moet staan in lynstane. 3kruger (hy sal nou vir die volgende 2weke wys wil hy volgende jaar nog S15 speel of nie? Kirsten het al iets bewys teen wp en hy nog niks. Hy moet nou die 2kaanse aangryp. 2bongi(lekker jonk en glo kan ontwikkel in n ongelooflike hakker. Briljante tuks jaar gehad. 1mellet-hier is bloggers wat se dean moet kaans kry en dat mellet moet rus. Mellet het skaars rugby gespeel omdat s15 coaches hom nie raaksien nie! 2games en nou rus? Nee dink wees asb. Die man bewys dit en lyk goed. Dean sal weer deur die sisteme moet begin kom. 16maku 17marcell vdw(skoon vergeet van hom ek dink hy en kruger kan omruil?,maar gee kruger nog n laaste kaans saterdag en nie gebruik nie marcell vdw! Dink na die game sal marcell reg wees vir 60-65min rugby. 18bulbring-as ons lynstane sukkel moet hy gou opkom en wys dat hy deel wil wees van S15. 19jacques dup-lekker impak en kan ook slot vat. 20paige(neee) ...,maar ek wil eerlik wees dat hy in S15 altyd goed gejol het in laaste 20min,ek dink meskien hy is n baie beter impak speler as n gewone speler. (Kan werk) 21waylon (wil beyers/venter nog n laaste kaans gee) 22ismail

P23. Dis die beste beskikbaar en kontinuiteit word verseker. Akona het nie sy beste seisoen nie maar ervaring is nodig om die jong manne kalm te hou. Ek is bly meeste bloggers is positief oor Beyers; goeie seun daai.

Kan iemand vir my verduidelik hoekom ons CC steeds net met 22 spelers speel terwyl die RC reeds 23 spelers het. Is Courtnal Skosan nie 'n beter opsie op vleuel as Ismael nie? Hoekom het hulle vir Ruan Steenkamp na die World Club 7's toe laat gaan (soos Skosan) as hy beter benut kan word op 0'21 vlak of self Curriebeker? Hierdie 3 beserings is almal baie waardevolle spelers. Ek dink Roelof Smit is die naaste wat die Bulle het aan Flouw. Hy het reeds VC gespeel, kan hom nadertrek terwyl Cook beseer is

Ek dink Dr Wessels moet Paige met n maag virus inspuit ipv corizone vir sy skouer. Goormaag vir n paar weke....
21: goed, jy het 'n punt beet daar, maak sin wat jy skryf. Of ons daarvan hou of nie, ek dink nie daar gaan veel spanveranderinge wees nie, behalwe vir beserings. Dit is 'n jongspan en om te veel te verander elke week is ook nie goed vir al die spelers nie.Darem net een verandering groot asb: Snyman begin op 9.Dink die span gaan so lyk: Visser Mastriet Beyers Venter Ismael (Aikona as hy reg is) Jantjes SnymanRoss JDP (as hy reg is, anders Vleis) Wiaan Hattingh Willemse Werner Bongi Mellet (hulle kan dalk oorweeg om Dean te begin om te kyk hoe gaan hy met die nuwe reëls?)Reserwes: Marcel Maku Bulbring Vleis Paige (sug) Pollard Blommetjies/Ismael Posted by bendiebul on 19 August 2013 18:08
WSS is 99% ready to play. He has been training with the CC squad for some weeks now. It is amazing that this report has not once mentioned him or his recovery/game-availablity.My feeling is that he will still be rested this week still and will be on the bench next week with the second round of the CC starting.I agree he should come off bench and needs game time. I for one cannot wait to see him back at his best. He is one of the best ball distributors in the game and looking at the stats, in the top few defenders. He is also very fast. All and all a perfect 13. Posted by passdiebal on 19 August 2013 17:58
Ek dink ons raak te gou paniekerig as ons beserings opdoen en dan wil ons dadelik n goeie speler uit posise speel. Visser is ons beste heelagter en veiligste opsie tans, hoekom losskakel as hy alreeds op vleuel misbruik is en toe amper gestenig is. Gee vir Jantjies n kans met die beter skrumskakel Ruan Snyman, want ek dink selfs Daniel Carter sal soos n aap lyk met Paige as skrumskakel. Visser het in nood n paar goeie skoppe pale toe oor gekry, maar hy lyk glad nie gemaklik of bestendig in daai rol nie.

Blouest, i don't think it was in the starting lineup but rather from the bench, probably does not matter,,,, i doubt that they will play it like that anyway. I have been looking on the web for an update on WSS but nothing. Posted by Blouloutjie on 19 August 2013 17:09
@ 18 I can't remember him on the side of the scrum in super rugby but i hear what you are saying.
Posted by blouest on 19 August 2013 16:57
@Blouest, I read somewhere that the management wanted to rest JDP as he has a niggle and Grant played at 7 in the Super Rugby team, i feel that the lions are strong in the line-outs and having two line-out specialists(Bullbring and Grante) would help us? # 16,I am not sure if WSS is ready to play, but have not heard any feedback in some time and see that he is now on the profiles. I like his speed and determination and he brings valuable leadership skills to the defense of the back-line. Hope he is and if not FV should be rested sooner rather then later as he has been taking allot of crash-balls and it all will start adding us soon. Posted by Blouloutjie on 19 August 2013 16:44
@Blouloutjie Why Grante at 7 Plus i think the shuffle is a bit too much, we need consistency. I would love to see WSS in the team but from the bench, he needs to play himself in first. He has been off for too long to start a game.

Sorry, I see that Cook and JDP is both listed as Locks on the profiles, does anyone know if this is there preferred positions? and if so we should play them there so that we can have cover for when the others struggle. Also Arno,Vleis,Spies and Steggi still needs to return. Posted by Blouloutjie on 19 August 2013 15:58

Very excited to see Vleis in Blue, but for that matter i think under the leadership of Jono it seems that no matter who pulls that blue suit-of-armor over their heads, they are there to play to full potential.

The Vodacom Blue Bulls were given a triple setback as it was confirmed both hooker Callie Visagie, prop Frik Kirsten and loose forward Jean Cook will be out for some time.Visagie injured his ankle on Friday night during the 15-6 win over Griquas and hobbled off the field. After seeing a specialist on Monday afternoon it was confirmed he would be out for between three and four weeks.Cook, who broke his thumb, will be out of action for six weeks while Kirsten, who withdrew from the side late last week before the Griquas game, has an ankle injury and will be out for a fortnight.Akona Ndungane, who has been struggling with a hamstring strain, said on Monday he still felt the effects of it, and a decision would be taken after Monday’s practice whether or not he would return to the team this week, but in all likelihood he will only be back next week.While flanker Jacques du Plessis is struggling with a hip pointer, the Bulls were planning to rest him this week, although without Cook that might have changed now.Either way, two of the Kings’ acquisitions – Bandise Maku and Jacques Engelbrecht – could be part of the match 22 on Saturday against the MTN Lions as replacements for the injured Visagie and Cook respectively.Both have joined the Bulls from the Kings after Super Rugby and should be ready to play this weekend after training with the side on Monday morning.Tony Jantjies (back), Jono Ross (contusion shoulder), Rudy Paige (shoulder), Waylon Murray (neck) and Francois Venter (mouth) will only train on Tuesday, Strauss said, but all should be available to play.
