Bulls coach Jake White said it will be like playing against the Springboks when they take on the Sharks during their United Rugby Championship match in Durban on Friday night.

Siya Kolisi is of the many Springbok players named in the Sharks squad to take on the Bulls.Bulls coach Jake White said it will be like playing against the Springboks when they take on the Sharks during their United Rugby Championship match in Durban on Friday night.

“At home with that kind of team, there is a little bit of a buzz. It is like a Test match and we are looking forward to it,” White said. “This is a huge test for us to see whether we are good enough to handle that sort of pressure of going away against a star-studded Natal side.” “It is a big week. Iit’s not only a local derby but a game we played in the Currie Cup final twice. They’ve got a Tongan international, Australian international, a Scottish international and nine incumbent Springboks and that says a lot about their squad.”“We gave our players three weeks off. Some other unions came back a little earlier and in hindsight it probably worked a bit in our favour because we didn’t play in the fourth week.
