Carr to drive Bulls as Cam takes a break
02/14/2025 04:12 AM
The Vodacom Bulls have shuffled their loose trio for Saturday’s Vodacom URC match against the Sharks at Loftus.
Star No 8 Cameron Hanekom, who won the Man of the Match award after the Bulls’ 33-32 win against the Stormers in Cape Town last weekend, is rested with Nizaam Carr named at the back of the scrum.
Marco van Staden replaces Marcell Coetzee at openside flank, while Reinhardt Ludwig remains at blindside.
In the other change to the pack, Ruan Vermaak returns to the second row.
Coach Jake White has stuck with the backline that started against the Stormers, while lock/flank Jannes Kirsten, loose forward Mpilo Gumede and wing Aphiwe Dyantyi all come onto the bench.
The Bulls are currently third on the URC log, five points ahead of the fourth-placed Sharks.
