Having worked over the Hollywoodbets Sharks last week to clinch their first SA Shield, the Vodacom Bulls must now prove they can knock out playoff-calibre opponents with a late flurry when they square up against Benetton on the Highveld.
The Italian club knows what to expect and they will take massive belief from how they fought back in the second half. “It’s something that we’ve spoken about a few times, we know we need to pull tighter,” Carr said of a tendency for the Vodacom Bulls to take their foot off the gas. “We’d like to pull off the perfect game but there are so many factors you have to take into consideration… if set-pieces are not functioning, or the opposition is attacking and we’re under pressure for multiple phases.
The Vodacom Bulls boast the Vodacom URC’s best attack, having scored a league-leading 85 tries and 639 points. Carr emphasised that the formula producing this output won’t change in the play-offs as they look to improve on their runners-up finish in the 2021/22 campaign. “But we don’t want to play not to lose, we want to play to win, and that’s the mindset we have. We also want to go out there and express ourselves.
