The Vodacom Bulls have named a formidable team to duel the Exeter Chiefs in the third round of the Champions Cup in Pretoria on Saturday night.
There is just one change from the starting lineup that was originally named to face Dragons in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship last weekend.Cyle Brink has been ruled out with an injury and his place in the back row is taken by experienced loose forward Nizaam Carr, who teams up with Elrigh Louw and Marco van Staden.
This means another chance for Wandisile Simelane to start at outside centre, after playing among the back three earlier this season.Bismarck Du Plessis, Dylan Smith, Embrose Papier, Johan Goosen and Lionel Mapoe; all lining up alongside bright young stars in Francois Klopper, Janko Swanepoel and WJ Steenkamp.“We have got to front up on Saturday, sticking to our systems, which will help us do well.
“We know they are a very good side, we know that they are well coached and we know that in the game that we played against them they really put in a big scrum and mauling performance. We know their pack of forwards is a really good set of forwards, they really play and play expansive rugby as well if they want to.
