New look Bulls take on the Sharks this Friday
The Vodacom Bulls will face the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld on Friday with nine players who have not played for the franchise before and six who will play in their first Vodacom Super Rugby match of their career.
Vodacom Bulls coach Frans Ludeke named his side in Pretoria on Tuesday and new captain Pierre Spies will lead a side that fields debutants Francois Venter, Jacques Potgieter and Juandré Kruger in the starting team and CJ Stander, Louis Fouché and JJ Engelbrecht on the bench.
Johann Sadie (Stormers), Jano Vermaak and Willie Wepener (both Lions) played in the competition before, but for other teams.
Ludeke still selected no less than 11 Springboks for the season’s opener and he believes experience will be vital.
