🏈Bulls captain Nizaam Carr admits some players may be struggling with spending so much time away from home in cold and snowy Europe. UnitedRugbyChampionship URC BullsvsScarlets TheCitizenSport

Experience is not something you can pick up at a sale, but senior Bulls player Nizaam Carr believes the team will be the better for their chastening experiences lately on the road.

The Bulls take on the Scarlets in the United Rugby Championship in Llanelli on Friday night, which will be their sixth away game in the last seven weeks.“Unfortunately results haven’t gone our way and we have taken a hard look at ourselves,” Carr admitted. “But it’s the worst weather in Europe at this time of year and it’s tough on any team travelling up here.

“Also more than 80% of the players have not played on 4G pitches before, which are different, and then the snow came down as well in our last game in Lyon. So the conditions are new for a lot of the boys.“But the more experienced we get, the more we learn and things won’t be as unpredictable for us, and the better we will become. Last week’s loss was a difficult hurdle to overcome, but we are still excited and looking forward to the Scarlets game.
