Blue Bulls side for Currie Cup final
The Blue Bulls have named a formidable side for the Currie Cup final against the Free State Cheetahs at Loftus Versfeld this Saturday.
14 of the Starting line-up started against the Chiefs in the Super 14 final earlier this year. Only Akona Ndungane is missing, out with a broken leg. In his place is the highly talented Francois Hougaard, who is a star of the future.
The bench includes sub-sub and World Cup winning Springbok, Danie Rousouw. The unheralded Pedrie Wannenburg is a man with plenty of experience, coupled with some young and exciting players.
The Bulls have the intelligence, experience, pace, power and inspiration of Loftus Versfeld to add yet another title to their impressive list of achievements. Maybe after Saturday there will be no doubt who the best side in South Africa truly is!
Good morning my friend
I have been waiting for this update for almost ten days now. Thank you. I agree with you that the Blue Bulls are a very talented side. This makes them the favourites by far to win the Currie Cup for 2009.
I think that the Cheetahs have shown far more intelligence and inspiration in this year’s currie cup than any other team competing in this ultimate competition. Their inspiration and intelligence makes them competitors not to be taken lightly. Also the Cheetahs have got Os du Randt who is keeping his hand of steel on things.
I am sorry my friend but the experience, so called intelligence and so called power of the Springboks in the Bulls side is not going to help them on Saturday. I wonder if you will still keep to your words “Maybe after Saturday there will be no doubt who the best side in South Africa truly is!” after Saturday’s clash and if the Bulls loose yet again against the mighty CHEETAH!
Your friend and CHEETAH supporter
