England international Courtney Lawes has taken a dig at South Africa and the Bulls after a recent Champions Cup controversy.
Prior to this past weekend’s quarter-final round of action in the Champions Cup, South Africa’s leading local franchise the Bulls were embroiled in an unexpected saga, which was at least partially fuelled by coach Jake White.
“Instead, it recently took 28 hours and 27 hours to and back from Leinster and whether we like it or not, it comes at a cost. Our board have paid for business-class flights for our starting teams previously, and it’s a massive privilege and fantastic gesture on their behalf.”with a statement highlighting how over R4 million had been spent in an attempt to get the Bulls overseas in the best way possible.
“The players got there at pretty much the same time, with the staff coming in at different times, but a lot of things were exaggerated. It was a great way of taking pressure off themselves, disrupting us, and getting us thinking about different things.”“I was pretty disappointed they didn’t put their best team out,” Lawes added.
