Bulls back Willie at 10 for Cape Town clash
Today at 07:06 AM
Willie le Roux will start at flyhalf for the Vodacom Bulls in Saturday’s Vodacom URC derby in Cape Town.
The veteran Springbok fullback made a big impression there at Ellis Park two weeks ago after replacing Boeta Chamberlain in the second half, with the Bulls going on to win 35-22.
In other changes, Jan-Hendrik Wessels will start at loosehead prop with Gerhard Steenekamp dropping down to the bench, Reinhardt Ludwig comes in for the injured Elrigh Louw at blindside flank and JF van Heerden wears the No 5 jersey in the absence of captain Ruan Nortje.
Sebastian de Klerk has been named among the substitutes at the expense of Zak Burger.
Springbok wing Canan Moodie will earn his 50th URC cap for the Bulls.
