Having experienced both Southern and Northern Hemisphere rugby early in his career, Bulls captain Marcell Coetzee says the latter offers more growth for SA players.
The talented loose forward made his Super Rugby debut in 2011 when he was playing for the Sharks, and moved to the Northern hemisphere in 2016 where he joined Ulster in Pro14.
That is because there he is exposed to different styles from at least six different countries compared to only Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Argentina in Super Rugby. “As a player, you learn how to play against all the cultures t you face if you are ever going to play international rugby. It gives you a bit of taste in that,” he said.
