Bulls lose Eskom for playoff

05/04/2024 14:16

Jake White made three changes to the Vodacom Bulls lineup for the Champions Cup playoff against Lyon in Pretoria, with the injured Marco van Staden missing the game.

Van Staden suffered a knee injury in the URC table-topping clash with Leinster in Dublin last weekend and has been left out of the team to face Lyon on Saturday.

Vodacom Bulls captain Marcell Coetzee shifts from No 8 to openside flank, with youngster Reinhardt Ludwig promoted to the starting lineup at blindside flank.

There are two further changes to the team as hooker Johan Grobbelaar switches with Akker van der Merwe, while the only change in the backline sees Sebastian de Klerk replace Devon Williams on the wing.
