Bulls Reinstate Boks with 11 Strategic Lineup Changes for Upcoming Ulster Clash

Exciting Line-up Revealed as Vodacom Bulls Reinforce for Ulster Clash

Handre Pollard’s Anticipated Return to Vodacom Bulls

The Vodacom Bulls are gearing up for a significant face-off against Ulster in the Vodacom United Rugby Championship this Saturday in Belfast. With the reintegration of their Springboks, the Bulls have announced 11 strategic changes to their team, aiming to put forth a strong contention.

Changes Bolster Bulls with World Cup Winners

Among the notable modifications is the comeback of double World Cup winner Handre Pollard. Pollard will don the Bulls jersey for the first time since 2019, adding to his substantial legacy of 62 caps in Super Rugby. Set to play at fly-half alongside Zak Burger, Pollard’s performance is under the spotlight, as the rugby world compares him with the rising star Sacha Feinberg-Mngomezulu.

Strategic Moves for a Robust Line-up

The Bulls are not leaving anything to chance, assembling what appears to be their most promising squad of the season. Tighthead Wilco Louw, a recent scourge of international scrums, takes the position from Mornay Smith, joining Bok teammates Gerhard Steenekamp and Johan Grobbelaar in the formidable front row.

Cobus Wiese is returning post-injury, filling in for JF van Heerden, while Marco van Staden steps in for Marcell Coetzee, who is recovering from a failed HIA. Jeandre Rudolph’s unexpected rise sees him at No. 8, a reward for his exceptional Currie Cup contributions.

Bench and Squad Enhancements

The bench sees innovations, with Jan-Hendrik Wessels replacing Alulutho Tshakweni, and the much-anticipated return of Reinhardt Ludwig. Paul de Wet and David Kriel offer depth and versatility, ensuring the squad remains dynamic throughout the game.
