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.

“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.

“Now everyone is probably in the same boat from a prepared point of view. That is the one area where I think we were a bit fortunate. We get to play another derby and I was saying to the players that we have played all these good sides and now it is almost like we are playing the Springboks. “They have nine Springboks back, you have a Scottish international, you have a Tongan international and you have an Australian international and it doesn’t get much tougher than that.

“I think the Sharks at home with all those international players is going to be a huge test for us but I can tell you that we get to measure ourselves against an international side again.”Ntuthuko Mchunu, Bongi Mbonambi, Thomas du Toit , Ruben van Heerden, Hyron Andrews, Siya Kolisi, Jeandre Labuschagne, Phepsi Buthelezi, Ruan Pienaar, Boeta Chamberlain, Makazole Mapimpi, Lukhanyo Am , Jeremy Ward, Sbu Nkosi, Anthony Volmink.
