Bulls scrum coach Werner Kruger says their United Rugby Championship (URC) match against the Stormers at Loftus on Saturday will come down to fine margins at set-piece time.
The Bulls go into this clash looking for their first URC win over the defending champions who have triumphed in all four previous meetings between the two sides, including last season’s final.
“It doesn’t matter what type of personnel they put up, their scrum is functioning really well as a unit and [as] a pack and that is definitely going to be a challenge for us. There is a possibility of rain in Pretoria on Saturday afternoon and Kruger said players will have to adjust to contest the scrums.
“It is much the same in general play as well and in those conditions you are not going to be able to throw 20m passes. It tightens a bit when it is wet, but how the weather is going to be is unknown to us.
