Vodacom Bulls coach Jake White had a simple message for his side ahead of Saturday’s Vodacom United Rugby Champiosnhip final: “Do what you did last week”.
White said that the way the Bulls had played in their semifinal victory against Irish juggernaut Leinster had paved the way for their first home final in the URC and they needed to make the most of it, especially with Loftus Versfeld being sold out for the game.White also trotted in legendary former Bulls, such as Bakkies Botha and former captain Thys Lourens to speak to players this week. And every time the message was the same: Do what you do well.
“There is no secret remedy. It is a final, you just have to do the things that you do well. Especially last week, it was outstanding.” “Playing the Crusaders or Chiefs in the final is something else, especially when Loftus is sold out. Unless you have been here, you have no idea. I tried to explain to people as well that I’ve been here with Springbok games, but it is different when there are 53000 Bulls supporters. It is one thing to come for a test match when there are visiting fans, and while it may not be 50-50, there still is an element of support for another team.
