Veteran flyhalf Morne Steyn is back as the Vodacom Bulls have largely opted for consistency ahead of their Vodacom URC encounter against Irish side Munster at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Bulls director of rugby, Jake White, has made no changes to his side’s starting XV for the match, opting to continue with the same team that impressed in the side’s 7-45 win against Zebre Parma in their previous URC outing.
Steyn will make a return to the matchday squad as he provides cover from the bench after completing an initial three-week ban which was reduced to two weeks.The Irish side will be on a high following a dominant 64-3 win over Welsh side, Dragons, in their most recent fixture a week ago. “We have a tough challenge ahead of us this weekend against a quality outfit in Munster. They have been one of the standout sides in the United Rugby Championship so far this season. To manage to claim a record of eight wins in their 11 matches is no small feat,” said White ahead of the game.
“Munster may be without some of their internationals this week, but they remain a strong side with other international players like Springbok World Cup winner, Damian de Allende, in their squad. This is a great opportunity for our players to test themselves against some of the best players in the world.
