Johan Goosen, raised on the saddle of a horse, is back in the saddle of Jake White's Vodacom Bulls. It may be a different type of saddle but Goosen's ability is no different, whether he is on the farm or on a rugby field.
Johan Goosen, raised on the saddle of a horse, is back in the saddle of Jake White’s Vodacom Bulls. It may be a different type of saddle but Goosen’s confidence and ability is no different, whether he is on the farm or on a rugby field.
Goosen contributed 23 points to the Bulls’ 78-12 demolition of Zebre Parma to book their place in the top eight and the playmaker will again be central to this week’s blockbuster clash against league-leaders Leinster at Loftus Versfeld.
“If a guy like Goosen comes in from a long injury, he was out for a while and he plays like that, it brings a lot of confidence to the team,” said Bulls assistant coach Pine Pienaar post-match. “If we as a squad are in a position where we have those kinds of players and in certain positions, then I think it’s healthy.
However, White has put Goosen back in the saddle to drive The Herd to a second successive URC final. “I signed him on a long-term contract, he’s here until 2026. Through injury he has been in and out, but part of my brief is to get him to play his best rugby,” White said. “I’ve seen him playing in France and he was a Player of the Tournament twice in the Top 14.
