Wounded Bulls in a mess - but still dangerous!

Due to the uncertainty about the availability of certain players the Vodacom Bulls today named a 26 man Squad to play against the Western Force on Friday 16 February 2007.

The final team will be announced tomorrow after medical evaluations have been done.

Gurthro Steenkamp is back in the mix and will definitely be part of the match day 22. Heinie Adams is also back from injury and could well be included in the 22. Jaco van der Westhuyzen is back from Japan and there is a chance that he will be included on the bench for this encounter.

Well I guess if there is ever a good time to play at Loftus Versfeld then now is the time!
Off the back of an away win, time to acclimatise to the altitude and the Bulls in “Force ’06” injury territory.

well i think the Force will go on with it, and get their second win of the season.

GO THE FORCE

Yep the Boy's have certainly shown they have the defence down pat so far this year and after the win hopefully the backline will kick it up a notch and bring home a win.

Should be a good battle up front...

Taking hope from the news that the Bulls are still sore after their encounter with the Cheetahs - Bulls will be a big demoralised with the loss of so many good players - Force have felt success and obviously enjoyed it - a second win

GO THE FORCE

I hope they win for sure. The Bulls may be still sore but they slugged it out for the full 80 mins and got home over a very tough side. Geez that was one hell of a game. I thought BIg Ollie looks fitter than I've seen him.

The Force will have improved heaps if they can get over this team in Pretoria. They may have a list of injuries but their depth is almost as good as New Zealand. A win here, provided the oppo turn up to play, and they are real contenders. GO THE FORCE!!!
