Talk:Blue Bulls

Comment on Links

I would like to comment on the links to the Official Fan site of the Blue Bulls. (www.blourugby.co.za) It appears to be broken. Would it be possible to trace down the original/correct link to the fan site for it to be inserted at the References section?

Thanks

Hey guys, please don't ban my ip after i post this but the article on "ALPHONS THEUNISSEN" is utter rubbish, no such player existed in S.A. rugby, evidently a troll, the highest try scorer was Joost van der Westhuizen, a Blue Bull, and the highest points scorer is Percy Montgomery, a Natal Shark. Many Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.244.28.51 (talk) 20:22, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Currie Cup

Sorry to say this but there is a couple of years missing in the Currie Cup played log, like 1976, when the Orange Free State won 33-26 against the Western Province, 1984, when the Western Province won 19-9 against the Northern Transvaal; 1986 when the Western Province won 22-9 against Transvaal. Those are critical years to have in a log to show that the Western Province was the only team to have won the Currie Cup 5 years in a row, from 1982-1986. Tertius8 (talk) 09:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

The Currie Cup list only displays years when the Blue Bulls were in the final. For the complete list, see Currie Cup.Greenman (talk) 11:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Current Squad

I propose redoing the current squad list a bit (for all South African teams). During the first half of the year, the top players will play Super Rugby for the Bulls; during the second half, some of them will play for the Springboks. I suggest we list all players in this section that are contracted to the Blue Bulls, but also indicate if they play at national team level, at Super Rugby level, at Currie Cup level or at Vodacom Cup level only.

With the current format, I think the only way possible would be to have some kind of indicator. Something like:

Props Dean Greyling (NT) Rayno Gerber (SR) Rossouw de Klerk (CC) Basil Short (VC) Hooker Chiliboy Ralepelle (NT)

^(NT) Represented South Africa in 2012
^(SR) Represented the Bulls in Super Rugby in 2012
^(CC) Represented the Blue Bulls in Currie Cup rugby in 2012
^(VC) Represented the Blue Bulls in Vodacom Cup rugby in 2012

The indicator would show the highest level the player played at during the season and players would be sorted by position first, then this indicator, then surname.

However, an alternate representation could be:

Props
Name	NT	SR	CC	VC
Dean Greyling	Y	Y
Rayno Gerber		Y		Y
Rossouw de Klerk			Y	Y
Basil Short				Y
Hookers
Chiliboy Ralepelle	Y	Y

^(NT) Represented South Africa in 2012
^(SR) Represented the Bulls in Super Rugby in 2012
^(CC) Represented the Blue Bulls in Currie Cup rugby in 2012
^(VC) Represented the Blue Bulls in Vodacom Cup rugby in 2012

This could again be sorted by playing position, then level played, then surname. Footnotes can be used if a player represented a different Super Rugby franchise than the main one affiliated with the union, etc. A template (which is a slight variation on {{rugby squad player}}) can be developed to simplify this.

Any thoughts, question, comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc?
