Looking to shift gears at the business end of the season, Jake White wants the Vodacom Bulls to deliver a dominant performance from start to finish against Benetton on Saturday.

The Bulls host the Italian outfit in round 17 of the Vodacom URC at Loftus Versfeld. With two rounds of the regular season remaining, White’s charges are in fourth place, while Benetton remains in the race to the final eight from the final playoff position.

Leading 37-10 entering the final quarter, a Smith penalty put the hosts just out of reach after the Warriors fell short with a second-half comeback as the Bulls won 40-34 in Pretoria, and speaking to the media on Friday, White highlighted the benchmark for success this week. “As the competition gets to the playoffs stages and the top eight teams are competing, if you’re not on song for 80 minutes you could lose.

“To get Glasgow 37-10 after 58 minutes… yes, there’s altitude but you’re talking about a dominant performance where, to be fair, 37-10 could’ve been 40-something 10,” the director of rugby added.
