The Bulls were made to rue a decision to field a weaker side in their Heineken Champions Cup match against a strong Exeter Chiefs at Sandy Park in Devon, England, on Saturday.
While their director of rugby Jake White said this doesn’t mean they are prioritising the URC over the Champions Cup, without a doubt the Bulls would have been able to match the Chiefs with some of the players that stayed behind.
Both sides had managed to kick off their Champions Cup campaign with solid victories last week, with the Bulls producing an excellent performance to put Lyon to the sword in Pretoria.But the so-called Bulls “B” team led by veteran flyhalf Morne Steyn on Saturday struggled to repeat their form of last week against the 2019-2020 Champions Cup winners.
