Loftus Versfeld<\/a> is the Vodacom Bulls<\/a>\u2018 house and it is time to make it count.<\/p>\n

This was the message from Bulls assistant coach Victor Matfield<\/a>, a man who has led the team to their three Vodacom Super Rugby<\/a> titles, as he prepares for a different role in getting the next generation to write their name in history.<\/p>\n

The Bulls are wary of the Brumbies<\/a> \u2013 and they know all too well what to expect from former Bok coach Jake White<\/a>, who will be chasing glory at the hallowed stadium this weekend.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it is the folklore that the Bulls haven\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019t do the hard work up front and make the moments count.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve said the entire year that the Brumbies are a good team,\u201d Matfield said. \u201cThey ended third on the log and above the Crusaders<\/a>, but at the end of the day if you want to win this competition you need to be able to beat everyone in it.\u201d \u2013 SuperSport<\/a><\/p>\n
