Super 14: Bulls injury worries dissipate
Source: Rugby365.com
Bulls coach Heyneke Meyer on Tuesday received some timely good news. His first choice fullback, Johan Roets, has fully recovered from the hamstring strain that has sidelined him this season and will be available to play against the Sharks in a Super 14 pre-season match at Sun City on Saturday.
Roets, a stalwart in the Bulls set-up, trained with his teammates on Tuesday - the first time this year that he complete a full training session - and will be at fullback in one of the two Bulls teams that will face two teams from the Sharks.
He showed no discomfort at training and looked eager to get back on the park.
Meyer's other injury concerns also cleared up on Tuesday.
Monday's training session was canned when 11 players missed the practice with an assortment of injuries and ailments.
Derick Hougaard (shoulder), Johan Wasserman (neck strain), Danie Rossouw (neck strain), Gary Botha (lower back muscle spasm), John Mametsa (groin), Dries Scholtz (split lip), Marius Delport (shoulder), Akona Ndungane (rib), Danwell Demas (quadricep injury), Rudi Coetzee (stomach bug) and Heini Adams (sinus infection) all missed Monday's training run.
On Tuesday nine of those players took full part in the practice session.
Only Hougaard and Mametsa were still unable to train, while Ruan Vermeulen has picked up a throat infection. The Bulls coach wants to turn Vermeulen, who up to now has played loose forward, into a tighthead prop.
He has the bulk to convert to prop and must just acquire the necessary technical skills in match situations.
Bulls team doctor Tommie Smook said he expects the remaining injury concerns to have cleared up by Saturday.
Meanwhile Meyer has confirmed that Gary Botha will again lead the Bulls into battle against the Sharks and will most probably also be captain when the Super 14 tournament starts on February 10 - with the Bulls facing the Cheetahs in Bloemfontein.
Botha took over as captain in the 44-13 hammering of the Stormers at Newlands last Saturday, after both lock Victor Matfield (the designated Bulls captain for the season) and scrum-half Fourie du Preez (next in line to wear the captaincy armband) were injured in the pre-season build-up.
Meyer is expected to announce his two teams on Thursday.

wpw,
Just a quick question. If the car was supposed to look like that, don't you think the manufacturers would have build it that way?
Same goes for altering the exhaust system. downlights, etc. You know all that normal East Rand, Danville stuff.

PA,
It is good news for the Bulls, but what worries me is why are they all of a sudden so injury prone.

It was headed for this old boere tannie in front of me, she just sat there, so i stretched out my hand but the ball got half of her hand and some of mine. I was distraught...

The Priest who could not lie
A distinguished looking young lady is on a flight returning from
Switzerland. She finds herself seated next to a priest and asks" Excuse
me father, may I ask a favor of you?"
"Well of course Miss, what can I do for you?" he replies.
"Here's the dilemma, I purchased for myself, a superbly sophisticated
electronic hair remover. I paid a lot of money for it. I really went well
over the limits set forth by Customs, and I fear they will confiscate it
from me. Could you perhaps secret it through Customs for me under your
robes?"
"I certainly could my dear, only I must warn you I really am not ever
able to lie..."
"You have such an honest face father, surely they will never ask any
questions of you," and with that she hands him the hair remover.
After landing they proceed through Customs and it becomes the father's
turn in line.
"Father, do you have anything to declare?" asks the Custom's officer.
"From the top of my head to my waist I have nothing to declare my son."
Finding this answer a little strange the custom's officer proceeds to
ask, "And from the waist to the floor, what do you have to declare?"
The father replies, "I have a marvelous little instrument destined to be
used on a woman, but which has never yet been used..."
Roaring with laughter the Custom's officer says, "Go right through
father.
Next!"
