White did not need hindsight to make these comments and he didn’t speak after the fact. He kept on telling media throughout the season that the Bulls would be where it mattered come the business end of the league.
The URC was new to all the SA teams, in schedule and in time frame. The competition started in September and would conclude on 18 June. This was foreign in every aspect, most noticeably playing summer rugby in South Africa.Then there was the disruption and uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, postponement of matches, a weighted first-up away schedule and then a favourable home stretch of matches.
White won the U20 World Cup with the Baby Boks and, four years later in 2007, won the World Cup with the Springboks in Paris, France.
