Willie le Roux has been shifted to a more prominent position for the Bulls in the URC derby against the Stormers in Cape Town on Saturday.
Much-like the Stormers, the Bulls have a plethora of injuries to deal with, meaning they’ll head into this fierce derby well short of full-strength. Following his stellar cameo at flyhalf against the Lions a fortnight ago has earned him a rare selection in that playmaker role for Saturday’s derby, with Boeta Chamberlain providing cover off the bench.Up front, Jan-Hendrik Wessels cracks the nod at loosehead prop at the expense of Gerhard Steenekamp; an lock JF van Heerden and flank Reinhardt Ludwig comes in as injury replacements for the Bulls’ injured co-captains Ruan Nortje and Elrigh Louw.
It could be a very good end to the month for some lucky player of Friday, 7 February’s PowerBall and PowerBall Plus draws.
