The returning Springboks have helped lift the intensity in training as DHL Western Province brace for a “backlash” in the Currie Cup north-south derby against the Vodacom Bulls in Pretoria on Friday.
The Bok-capped players are unlikely to be thrown straight back into action when Western Province travel to Pretoria to face the Vodacom Bulls in the second round of the Currie Cup, but their presence was nonetheless welcomed as the provincial union looks to go two-for-two in the tournament. “They bring a certain standard that you almost can’t coach. You’d expect that from guys who’ve been in the national set-up for a number of years now.
“The Bulls are always a tough side, no matter where you play,” Wright said. “The Pumas played well, but we know the Bulls are a quality outfit, so we expect them to be up for the challenge.
