Jake White says the fact that the Vodacom Bulls are still competing for three trophies proves they are not in a hole, despite losing eight of their last 11 games in all competitions.
The Vodacom Bulls go into Friday’s Currie Cup north-south derby against Western Province in Pretoria on the back of three successive home losses at Loftus Versfeld.Two of those came in local derbies against the Lions and DHL Stormers in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship and the latest was a heavy 63-15 thumping at the hands of Currie Cup title holders the Pumas in the opening round of South Africa’s domestic tournament.
“How can you be in a crisis when you’re still in the top 8 of the URC, in the last 16 of the Champions Cup and only lost one Currie Cup game to date? I certainly don’t believe you can call that a hole. “Jimmy Stonehouse [Pumas coach] shaking his head and smirking is not because he’s an arrogant guy, it’s because he understands rugby and sits in the box thinking: ‘Jeez, can you believe there are so many things that go our way?’
