This is certainly a setback for the mighty Bulls. But the Bulls never became mighty by letting minor hiccups to stunt their ambition. Arno Botha is a forward in the typical Bulls mould. Hard, uncompromising and intelligent. But the factory in Pretoria continues to churn them out, we will be okay. Having said that, we wish Arno all the best and a speedy recovery. Even if he isn't declared fit to play in the final I'm sure Big Vic will call him closer to drink champagne from the trophy as the legendary Joost did with the equal legendary Ruben Kruger after the 1998 Currie Cup final. That was most certainly stirring stuff and once again underlined why it is every Springbok rugby players dream to one day represent the Bulls.
