Jake White must be praised for playing, and not resting, as many of the Vodacom Bulls’ first-choice players as often as he has done this season, writesThe Bulls director of rugby took a huge gamble when he used a host of the same players over the course of three games in six days, especially with Mornay Smith, Sintu Manjezi, Jacques du Plessis and Johan Goosen all sidelined due to injury.
The Bulls may have flirted with disaster in terms of player welfare, yet the rewards far outweigh the risk. White’s approach also allows young players, who tend to recover faster from fatigue or minor bumps and bruises, more opportunities to face off against quality opponents in top-flight games.The 21-year-old Elrigh Louw has been a powerhouse at No 8 for the Bulls, while 22-year-old lock Ruan Nortje has delivered similarly impressive performances.
