Bulls unchanged for Cape cracker

28 Mar 2012

The Bulls have named the same run-on side for their derby against the Stormers at Newlands on Saturday.

There is one forced change on the bench where hooker Willie Wepener is replaced by 21-year-old Vodacom Cup player Bongi Mbonambi.

Coach Frans Ludeke said: ‘We have done well last weekend against the defending Super Rugby champions [the Reds], but now the only undefeated team in the competition waits. The Stormers are an established outfit with a lot of experience and it will take a massive effort from us to beat them at home.’

Captain Pierre Spies added: ‘There is a lot of emotion involved. It is important for us to control those emotions, play in a clinical way and not allow it to impact on your options. We still have a long way to go in the competition, but this will be one of our greatest challenges.’

Bulls – 15 Zane Kirchner, 14 Akona Ndungane, 13 Johann Sadie, 12 Wynand Olivier, 11 Bjorn Basson, 10 Morné Steyn, 9 Francois Hougaard, 8 Pierre Spies (c), 7 Jacques Potgieter, 6 CJ Stander, 5 Juandré Kruger, 4 Flip van der Merwe, 3 Werner Kruger, 2 Chiliboy Ralepelle, 1 Dean Greyling.
Subs: 16 Bongi Mbonambi, 17 Frik Kirsten, 18 Wilhelm Steenkamp, 19 Arno Botha, 20 Jano Vermaak, 21 Louis Fouché, 22 JJ Engelbrecht.
