Kuehler, James — Kuehler, Jan Steyn back in starting line-up
Their most experienced player ever, Mornè Steyn, is back in the starting line-up of the Vodacom Bulls team to play The Sharks at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Steyn came off the bench in last weekend’s win over the Southern Kings much earlier than planned, having to replace Louis Fouchè (who tore knee ligaments) and continued to set the high standards expected.
Vodacom Bulls coach Frans Ludeke also changed his midfield combination. Wynand Olivier has departed for France, resulting in Jan Serfontein and JJ Engelbrecht combining again, with Serfontein moving to his preferred inside berth. There are a number of changes on the bench.
Jano Vermaak has recovered from his hamstring injury and replaces Rudy Paige, Callie Visagie and Willie Wepener rotates again at hooker and Jurgen Visser comes into the squad as back-up flyhalf. Mornè Mellett comes into the side in place of the Paris-bound Juandrè Kruger, as Ludeke opted for two props on the bench.
“We have had a lot of disruptions since the squad returned and injuries to the likes of Pierre (Spies), Arno (Botha), Louis (Fouchè) and the departures of Wynand (Olivier) and Juandrè (Kruger) certainly did not make life easier for us. Fortunately we have always backed the depth of our squad and that is bearing fruit,” Ludeke said.
“We will face a Sharks team that will be desperate, as they need to win to keep their play-off hopes alive, but we have also goals to achieve and to get there, we need to keep on winning,” Ludeke said.
Vodacom Bulls captain, Dewald Potgieter, said the focus will be solely on doing the basics right as a team.
The Vodacom Bulls team is: Zane Kirchner, Akona Ndungane, JJ Engelbrecht, Jan Serfontein, Bjorn Basson, Morné Steyn, Francois Hougaard, Dewald Potgieter (c), Jacques Potgieter, Deon Stegmann, Grant Hattingh, Flip van der Merwe, Werner Kruger, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Dean Greyling. Substitutions: Callie Visagie, Frik Kirsten, Wilhelm Steenkamp, Jono Ross, Jano Vermaak, Jurgen Visser, Morné Mellett.
We need to come out in numbers Bulle!!! Our boys need us especially now...few games away from semis. We are in for sure but if we can secure a some semi and home final, the game is in the bag!!!!!Morne, Houggie, and front row need to give us some good forward ball. With front foot ball...watch JJ and Jan run through Butch and Ludik!!! SIKED!!!

HoutoogAgree, I also rate the guy and he will make a pretty picture in green or for that matter Blue. But at this stage he plays for the Sharkies, and i have to give him some grief but belief me no insult intended.Kobus is a good prospect .

Blouloutjie #24, die man wat jy skynbaar met bietjie sarkasme "Pa-se-seun" noem is na my mening 'n toekomstige Springbok ster op skrumskakel. Ek wens die Bulle kan hom Pretoria toe lok!

Die wedstryd tussen die Blou Bulle (Bulls B?) en die Leeus word Saterdag as voorwedstryd op Loftus gespeel, nie op Ellispark nie!

Dankie #42 vir die B-span! Ek weet van SuperRugby spanne wat hul geboortereg sal verkoop vir daardie voorry van die Bulle se B-span! Maar ek moet sê die Leeus skrum baie goed. As Marcel van der Merwe Saterdag die toets kan slaag teen JC (Suid-Afrika se beste skrumwerker op loskop), moet hy so gou moontlik by die top span betrek word.

Jis, ek weet nou nie of ek as rugbyliefhebber die vraag mag vra nie, maar word die bulle/ lions game iewers uitgesaai?

LBC, dankie. Maar ek het gatgeskeer. Rugby liefhebbers behoort nie sulke vrae te vra nie.

I am not convinced that Jaundre has gone, if you look at the comment above it states that Morne Mallet comes into the side in place of the Paris-bound Juandrè Kruger, as Ludeke opted for two props on the bench.????This might mean that he is still available? Posted by Blouloutjie on 03 July 2013 14:30
weet iemand waar en hoelaat die leeus game gaan wees teen die Bulle?
Posted by louisk on 03 July 2013 14:10
Goeie span bulletjies! Lekker om weer 'n klompie van die ouens terug te sien!!! Baie sterkte vir die groot wedstryd Saterdag. Dit gaan nie maklik wees teen die Sharkies nie! Kom Saterdag middag 19h00; sal die Chiefs en Crusaders asook die Cheetahs en Blues reeds gespeel het. Indien die Cheetahs die Blues kon klop sal dit neusie verby wees vir die Sharks, indien nie sal daar baie vir hulle wees om voor te speel. Indien die Crusaders daarin kon slaag om die Chiefs te oorwin, sal daar net so baie vir die Bulle wees om voor te speel.

15 JA WAAR IS MARCEL VD MERWE? Dalk moet ons maar n nr10 gaan leen by die lions!Posted by Davidpr on 01 July 2013 23:49 Vir almal wat die vraag soos hierbo gevrae het. Speel in Bulls span teen die Leeus.
Posted by Bulletjie 1 on 03 July 2013 14:08
So jeandre is def itef oorsee. Sonder da die bbm. Ooit amptelike verklaring uitgereik het. Vrot onderhandeling in seisoen waar ons play offs bereik en die afrigter soveel moes insit om die span tot hier te kom. Dieselfde geld vir wynand. Dit is netglad ie regverdig teenoor die hele span nie en moet beslis aandag kry in die toekoms. Die bulle het in 2010 laas beker gewen en noudat ons weer bo kon uitkom het spelerkontrakte ons in die hakskeen kom byt.Ek weet ons kompeteer teen euro, maaar al die oorsese klubs het klousule in met sa spelers dat as hulle spanne uitspeelrondtes haal daardie spelers eers in die playoffs moet speel. Waarom kon ons nie dieselfde doen nie? Die bbm was doodstil hieroor en joernaliste oes tot hierdie week nog spekuleer. As ons saterdag met hieride span kan wen behoort ons all the way te gaan. Sterkte vir dewald en ons hou dum vas vir grant hattingh op wie groot verantwoordelikheid sal rus.

Ek merk nou dat die Leeus 7 van hul 8 games gewen het. En raai watter een hul verloor het. Natuurlik die beste span in RUGBY!!!

This team might just beat the Lions team that won the shark team Lekker spannetjie
Posted by blouest on 03 July 2013 13:52
Die vraag wat ek het is of ons ooit weer n span sal kan bekostig met soveel internasionale top klas sterre soos in 2007-2009?Met die huidige verwikkelinge wat die verlies aan spelers aan Europa betref, is ons voorland van nou af n laer algehele vlak van kwaliteit as in ons gloriejare?Gurthro, Gary Botha, Bakkies, Victor, Pedrie, Wikus, Spies, Fourie du Preez, Morne Steyn, Habana etc. Al die ouens kan ongelooflike geld in die buiteland verdien. Om so n groep sterre in een span te hou by die Bulle mag dalk nooit weer moontlik wees nie.Kyk maar hoeveel jonger is die algemene Bul span vandag as toe. Ons kan nie meer die ouens hier hou as hulle eers roem verwerf nie.Dit maak my baie bekommerd vir die lang termyn.
Posted by Shannow on 03 July 2013 13:51
As ons die Sharks met die span kan wen (Sonder Wynand, Jeandre, Botha, Pierre, etc) kan ons al die pad gaan. Ongelukking dink ek die span gaan nou die lost van al die spelers voel teen n gelaaide Sharks span.Hulle moet die guntelinge wees veral om ons hulle laas in Durban gewen het maak dit hulle hoogs gemoteveer

Big match-ups, Chilli v Bismark/ Hougi and Jano v Takhaar and Pa-se-seun at Scrumhalf/ Lam-chop and Morne/ Mvovo v BassonWe are in for a big treat and it will be a fantastic game to watch as we dont have the wet surface that kept them competitive the last time around. Posted by Blouloutjie on 03 July 2013 13:23
Hieronder is my span wat teen die Leeus kan speel:BlommetjiesMastrietBeyersVenter (blykbaar fiks)Skosandu PlessisTemperman/Snyman/JacobsNardus v/d WaltCookAdendorf (Liebenberg blykbaar beseer)Van HeerdenMike Williams (weet nie of hy reeds oorsee is nie)Van WykNgonambiMarcel v/d Merwe / Dawie SteynEk dink hulle moet die jong bokkies vanaf die bank speel of laat rus (Pollard, du Plessis, Serfontein, ens.) Ons is dun op slot en skrumskakel is steeds 'n probleem.

@ 21 dan is daar nog flip van der merwe ook wat op goeie form is en paar manne kan seer maak!
Posted by pierre_spies FaN on 03 July 2013 13:16
@ 17 Yes it will be a epic battle between JP and Alberts, some bones will be collected and crushed, lets just hope it is some black and white bones and not Blue once.@16 Good information, it would help to know what BBM's plans are to retain the current and fill the blanks, suppose its to early to be concerned about CC but as most fans we like to be in the loop. Posted by Blouloutjie on 03 July 2013 13:12
Ek sien die ouens wat Superwrap skryf - weet nie of dit n afdeling van Supersport is nie - impliseer dat ons kontraktering van spelers verswak het sedert Ian Schwartz weg is.Ek weet glad nie of daar werklik n korrelasie is nie, maar as mens kyk na die geweldige verliese wat ons in die laaste tyd ly in terme van spelers wat ons verlaat sal mense graag een of ander versekering wil he dat die Bulle nogststeeds die mees professionele unie is in hierdie krities aspek van professionele sport.
Posted by Shannow on 03 July 2013 13:11
Skotsebulletjie, this is to show how well BBM are managing and provide for other franchises and still the Bulls grow year by year. Excellent BBM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bomskok Thanks for the laugh i needed that, LOL
Posted by Blouloutjie on 03 July 2013 12:50
@6 It is as you say, remarkable that we find our self in this situation, when you think that we have lost all those big-name players Habanna, Fourie, Frikkie Welsh, Johan Roets, JP, Matfield, Bakkies, Pedrie, Gary, Bands,Rossouw, Wikus, Kees, Coetzee, Steenkamp, CJ Stander, only to name a few It is amazing that we even talk about playoffs, we are still building this team with new young stars raising to the occasion And add to that list the newly lost Kruger, Pot x 2 , Zane, Blouwave, Chilli, Morne it is not becoming easier is it?
Posted by Blouloutjie on 03 July 2013 12:43
Everytime Jason Jafta refs a Bulls game he seems to be against us. The Stormers can say the same thing about Craig Joubert...its one of those things. i would have preferred Lourens or Peyper as Craig Joubert is on the sidelines in Sydney. In the end we need to adapt to the ref and i think we have done that well this season. Posted by Tee89 on 03 July 2013 12:36
LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE BOYS PLAY AT LOFTUS!!!!! brilliant team and indeed we need all the experience we have to close up shop. BRILLIANT TO HAVE JANO AND HOUGGARD BACK!!!! good news for the Boks too!!!! Two props completely makes sense. The scrum will be a hell of a battle. I respect the fact that the bulls are not rushing Handre. he has played a lot this year and the currie cup will be the perfect place for him to cement his place at 10 for the bulls.SIKED!!!!! Posted by Tee89 on 03 July 2013 12:33
Dagsê almal, Jason Jafta is die skeidsregter Saterdag. Wat is jul opinies hieroor. Ek hoor graag.
Posted by KemptonBlouBul on 03 July 2013 12:28
Nogals interessant op die players profiles dat alhoewel Grant Hattingh 3 cm langer as Juandre K is, is hy ook ligter as Juandre. Hy het vir my eintlik "swaarder" gelyk. Nietemin 'n goeie span. Ons kan hierdie ene deurtrek. Solank Kaplan net nie die blaser is nie. Dit verg bomenslike vertonings van die BULLE om te wen as hy blaas
Posted by bloubefoeterd on 03 July 2013 12:26
Ek's tevrede met die span! Dit gaan tough wees maar die Bulls behoort hom deur te hak! Bulls met 6!
Posted by DIE BLOU BAAS on 03 July 2013 12:25
Die beste moontlike span, onder die omstandighede. Die bomenslike prestasie van ons span hierdie jaar word veral duidelik as jy hierdie huidige pak voorspelers vergelyk met die agtal van 2007-2009, op hul piek:Gurthro SteenkampDanie CoetzeeKees LensingBakkies BothaVictor MatfieldWikus van HeerdenJacques CronjePierre SpiesMet manne soos Richard Bands, Gary Botha, Danie Rossouw, Pedrie Wannenburg etc. wat op die bank wag om in die laaste 20 minute op te kom.Ek wonder hoeveel van ons huidige agtal sou selfs die reserwe bank van daardie span gehaal het? Dalk net Deon Stegman, in n spesialis rol. Posted by Shannow on 03 July 2013 12:21
goei span ons kan die sharks troef -die is n wedstryd waar die bulle hul self goed kan motiveer---go bulls 5 punte is n moontlikhuid

Welcome back Jano, Good to see the little genus back on the roster, was hoping to see Visser but nevertheless i suppose experience will play a big part.Good team, sorry Sharks couching staff, there will be no 5 point gift-hampers this weekend Go Bulls Posted by Blouloutjie on 03 July 2013 12:01
Onder omstandighede nie 'n sleg span nie. Ek is dankbaar vir die wysheid om nog 'n stut op die bank te kies! Die uitslag gaan waarskynlik afhang van wie die oorhand in die skrums gaan kry.
Posted by Poepindieketel on 03 July 2013 11:56
Yes, Jano oppad terug!!Juandre Kruger - neem aan hy is weg!2 voorrye op die reserwe bank!
