Jake White has extolled the value of having an experienced and Bok-laden matchday 23 for the Vodacom Bulls’ opening clash of 2024-25 URC campaign on Saturday.
Boks Ruan Nortje and Elrigh Louw on Friday were announced as Bulls co-captains for this season, but Akker van der Merwe will lead the Herd against Edinburgh at Loftus Versfeld this week.
World Cup winner Canan Moodie starts at right wing, while White has opted for a five-three split on bench that features Boks Johan Grobbelaar and Marcell Coetzee. “He is an international player, which is why we signed him and Boeta so that a guy like Goosen does not have to play 80 minutes each week.”
