The Bulls are hoping to use the learnings they picked up in two Champions Cup defeats over the past two weekends, to help them get a win over a Springbok laden Sharks in their United Rugby Championship clash at Kings Park in Durban on Saturday .admitted that they needed to improve on the mistakes made in both those games, while also trying to control territory, possession, the set pieces, breakdown and contact areas against the Sharks.
“I am talking from a shape point of view. We mustn’t get ahead of ourselves. Because one lesson we have learnt in the last two weeks against really good sides, and the Sharks is loaded with Springboks, is that if you make mistakes, you will suffer consequences and have to play catch up rugby. A big focus point for the Bulls will be finishing their chances, as being unable to take their opportunities against Saints over the past weekend ended up costing them dearly.
