Rugby is life!!!!

Post N° 57

Young Bulls flanker Dewald Potgieter got himself in a whole lot of hot
water against the Crusaders on Friday night in Pretoria. Potgieter has
been suspended for a week after an outrageous spear tackle on Casey
Laulala.

As if the evening wasn't disastrous enough for the
Bulls, who went down 54-19 in the end, Potgieter put a black mark next
to his name and is now out for the next week. For some reason the ref
and touchjudge didn't consider this bad enough to be a yellow card, but
I guess that's what the citing commission is for. I personally thought
it would have and could have been a red.

It's a pity for the
young Potgieter, who actually made a huge difference to the poor Bulls
performance. I'd like to say you'll be hearing that name again in the
future, but hopefully for different reasons as to why you're hearing it
now.

We've seen some terrible spear tackles
in the past, but this is one of the worst, with Laulala actually
flipping over so far that he didn't land directly on his head, luckily.
A
one week ban in my opinion is extremely lenient, but perhaps the
players' disciplinary record and character was taken into account.
