Springbok legend Victor Matfield is backing the Bulls for the eagerly anticipated United Rugby Championship (URC) quarterfinal clash against the Sharks on Saturday at Loftus.
The two teams meet in Pretoria looking to book a semifinal spot and Matfield believes the home side will benefit from playing in front of a large partisan Bulls crowd.
“The Bulls know how to play at Loftus and have a good record there over the last two to three years.” “The Bulls are a better-coached team at the moment, they know how they want to play, they know how they want to win games and because of that I think they have the upper hand at Loftus,” he said.
