Bulls mentor Jake White said the Bulls will need their attack and defence to be strong if they are to be a championship team.
'Can you imagine if we become the best defensive team in this competition over time,' he said.It was another thrilling attacking display by the Bulls as they scored nine tries courtesy of Canan Moodie , David Kriel , Kurt-Lee Arendse, Ruan Nortje, Akker van der Merwe, and Johan Grobbelaar on their way to getting a bonus point victory that confirmed their place in the knockout stages of the URC.
“I’m excited about the way we are playing now. Can you imagine if we become the best defensive team in this competition over time, it’s going to be a very difficult team to beat,” he said.Based on the tries conceded against Glasgow Warriors the week before and now against Benetton, White wants his players to be more ruthless in defence going forward.
“I want to be tougher on the players about not allowing teams to score so easily against us,” White said. “I don’t think it’s a work rate thing, I don’t think it’s a system thing, and I don’t even think it’s a game understanding thing. It’s just that sometimes we do things which help the opposition get into a place they can score from.
“The one thing we are lacking is the edge on defence. I’m talking from the ruthlessness of not allowing teams to score points against us,” he said.Plumtree reflects on performance of Sharks fringe men in loss to Cardiff
