Jake White has been outlining why he feels his Vodacom Bulls are now better equipped than ever to push for the Vodacom URC title.
White’s team have twice fallen at the last hurdle in the first three years of the competition, losing finals to the DHL Stormers and Glasgow Warriors.
“We have had relatively inexperienced players like Ruan Nortje, Elrigh Louw and Canan Moodie winning two Tests in a row against the All Blacks. White also points to a recruitment drive which has seen the likes of second rows Cobus Wiese and Sintu Manjezi , flanker Nama Xaba and prop Alulutho Tshakweni come on board, along with former Hollywoodbets Sharks backs Boeta Chamberlain and Aphiwe Dyantyi.
“We have got youngsters like Cameron Hanekom and we have got the middle age group sorted as well, which will make us much stronger and allow us to have much more depth in our squad selections.” “We then played Benetton that have a majority of the Italy players, then Leinster who have the majority of the Ireland players and then we played Glasgow who have lots and lots of international players as well.
