Owen franks withdrawn with hammy injury, replaced by Nepo Lualala
Sharks side also out now!
Interesting that amid all the speculation that Butch James and Bismarck du Plessis would be in the squad of 22, they both are’nt!
Beast Mtawarira returns at loosehead though and Piet Lindeque moves one in to No 13 as expected, with the “Revolving Door” Bosman at No 12 despite a broken nose.
Good side… and it will be a battle royal…. but if I were the Bulls, I would run very bloody hard at that shakey No 10, 12, 13 axis.. just wide of the covering loosies!
Goooooooooooo Bulls!
There is a story that Frik Kirsten will start for the Bulls with Werner Kruger on the bench.
This was announced after the Sharks named their team. It was supposed to be Werner against the Beast.
3 @ dWeePer:
Indeed, that is the case!
Bulls released a Media Statement to say that Frik and Werner’s names were erroneously switched when the teams were announced yesterday.
So, it’s Frik Kirsten at Tighthead and Werner kruger on the bench.
In the same release they explain that Louis Fouché and Jan Serfontein are bracketed on the bench because a call will be made on both on Friday. Louis Fouché suffered a bit of a hip pointer and jan Serfontein a lower leg contusion in the Landers match.
All teams now up!
