The Bulls travel to Nelspruit to take on an improving Pumas outfit that have close in recent week, yet haven’t been able to put two halves together and get the big scalp. Will this be the game?
Personally I don’t think so. The Bulls are strengthened by the Springbok players in Wynand Olivier, Zane Kirchner and Dewald Potgieter returning, and they should aim to shine as they are fighting to get back in the Green and Gold.
Look out for Olivier and Gerhard van den Heever on the Bulls side to run at the Pumas defence, and Elgar Watts for the Pumas, as he continues to score points for the grey outfit.
This game is televised on SuperSport 7 with kick off being at 19h00 local time.
