While the Bulls front row impressed against the Stormers, Gerhard Steenekamp warns against complacency ahead of the Sharks clash. The Bulls acknowledge the Sharks' formidable scrum and emphasize the need to prepare meticulously for each individual scrum encounter.
Gerhard Steenekamp says last week’s Bulls scrum dominance against the Stormers won’t count for anything against the Sharks .

“We work together every week and chase each other, and try to make each other better. If there’s something I can help him with, or he helps me... and it’s the same with Wilco and Francois , and through that, helping the union get better.” “Last week’s scrum performance won’t help you at all for this week’s game. Every scrum on its own is a fight or whatever you want to call it.
“Then we will see on the weekend if our plan is better than theirs. That’s all we can do: make sure we prepare hard enough, and then the game will take care of itself.” So, they will be hoping to produce another second-half display like they did in the 35-22 win over the Lions at Ellis Park a few weeks ago.
