Boom! Prinsloo to Bulls a done deal

Bulls have confirmed the signing of Boom Prinsloo following his release by Cheetahs.

The 28-year-old loose forward has agreed a two-year deal with the three-time Super Rugby winners.

There were concerns over his eligibility with SANZAAR regulations limiting a player to being named in one franchise's matchday squad per campaign, but Bulls announced Prinsloo will be available with immediate effect.

"I needed a fresh challenge in my career and this is it," Prinsloo said in a statement on the Bulls website.

"I had a great time in Bloemfontein and will only have good memories about the opportunities they created for me in Free State, but I felt that it was time for change.

"Few challenges greater than making the Bulls squad come across a player's career, so I am very keen to make the best of this opportunity.

"I am very positive to learn and contribute to the squad and union and cannot wait to start."

Are the All Blacks doomed to a 70% flatline?

Thanks for the analysis Nick, thought provoking as usual. Couple of queries though, in the pic where you've circled Williams bind , I'm pretty sure it shows Stuart's knee on the ground, surely that's a NZ penalty? Also having had the chance to watch it again the All Black scrum seeems to improve after halftime, but before either England or the All Blacks replace their props. Not sure if that was the result of Tuipolutu coming on or some halftime tips. Either way this is only Williams second international season, so he'll be better for the experience.

if the clock could be turned back, Jones should still have been given the top job, to be assisted by Farrell, Borthwick, Catt, & Rowntree, and after 2019 he should have been replaced by Farrell.
