The Stormers and Bulls have made it to the semi-finals of the inaugural United Rugby Championship. But will the journey end there?
will come to an abrupt end against European giants Leinster in Dublin this 1o June.
Earlier in the season, Jake White’s team suffered a 31-3 round one defeat against Leinster at the Aviva Stadium. The Bulls were at virtually full strength for that game last September, but they have certainly grown as a team through the course of the URC campaign. “Putting Bismarck in now and maybe playing an older guy at fullback won’t teach me anything. Part of this journey with this group is that they must become senior players too.
“Next week we have the ultimate test against Leinster. Sometimes their front row has more international caps than our whole team together. “The one thing I learned from that game was that Leinster are beatable, and that gives us confidence,” White said. “However, you can’t let them start well because you’ll end up playing catch-up rugby. Against a team that good, it’s hard to catch up against them.
