Du Plessis is part of the 37-man Bulls squad doing duty in the first leg of their URC tour in Europe that starts with a clash against Leinster on Saturday in Dublin before moving to Wales and Scotland. “I was 20 and he was 38 and I used to drive into training [for the Sharks] and he would be there already warming up.
