Loftus Versfeld is the Vodacom Bulls‘ house and it is time to make it count.
This was the message from Bulls assistant coach Victor Matfield, a man who has led the team to their three Vodacom Super Rugby titles, as he prepares for a different role in getting the next generation to write their name in history.
The Bulls are wary of the Brumbies – and they know all too well what to expect from former Bok coach Jake White, who will be chasing glory at the hallowed stadium this weekend.
Perhaps it is the folklore that the Bulls haven’t lost at Loftus this year, and the imposing factor that the stadium was voted as the most hostile by Australian players a few years back that has made so many people so confident that they will win on Saturday.
But despite the overwhelming support and confidence, the Bulls know they will have a battle on their hands. They know the stadium will count for little on the day if they don’t do the hard work up front and make the moments count.
“We’ve said the entire year that the Brumbies are a good team,” Matfield said. “They ended third on the log and above the Crusaders, but at the end of the day if you want to win this competition you need to be able to beat everyone in it.” – SuperSport
