Vodacom Bulls have named a powerful touring squad packed full of South African international talent for the clash with Dragons at Rodney Parade on Friday evening (kick-off 7.35pm).
Director of Rugby, Jake White, has selected a 28-men travelling squad for the trip to Wales for the Round 12 tie in the BKT United Rugby Championship.
“We have another three away games this January – this is the block that is toughest for us, playing six out of seven games on the road – so things aren’t getting any easier but we just have to make sure that we improve every week,” said White.
White concluded by saying: “this is a massive test of character for us as a group, both coaches and players but we have to make sure that we start the new year with good energy and look to get both our campaigns (BKT Rugby Championship and the Heineken Champions Cup) on track.”
