The Vodacom Bulls have returned to near-full strength for their final Investec Champions Cup match against French side Stade Francais at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday afternoon.
Springbok Elrigh Louw will captain the side, which sees a return to the pack for another Bok and co-captain Ruan Nortje, while Louw’s loose trio team-mates are the veteran Marcell Coetzee and rising star Cameron Hanekom.
Nortje will reform his lock partnership with Ruan Vermaak, who recently returned to action against Northampton Saints, while the all-Springbok front row of Gerhard Steenekamp, Johan Grobbelaar and Wilco Louw will pack down in the front row. On the bench the Bulls sport Akker van der Merwe, Nizaam Carr and Canan Moodie as current and former Boks while Boeta Chamberlain will cover 10 and 15 for the side.
