'It will be personal.' - Bulls' captain Marcell Coetzee said ahead of the fixture between Ulster and Bulls.

This is bound to be a cracking encounter as two heavyweights go toe to toe. Duane Vermuelen returns to face his former employers as Coetzee welcomes his former Club to his new stomping ground.

The Bulls head into the match off the back of four straight wins while Ulster lost their first game on tour against the Stormers.

Before the losses to the Stormers, Ulster were on a seven game winning run dating back to the first week of the year.

Bulls Director of Rugby Jake White said: “We have had a tough couple of weeks against strong overseas opposition, and this week we are up against the team that is second on the Vodacom URC log at the moment. This will be similar to a test match for us and we are looking forward to measuring ourselves against one of the best teams in the competition.


“We are looking forward to seeing Mornay Smith back in the starting lineup, while we are excited to see this team maintain their consistency as we continue to grow together as a unit.


“This will not only be a big game for us, but also for our fans whom we hope to see in their numbers at Loftus Versfeld. We can never underplay the role that supporters play and how important it is to have them back at our stadiums.”
