Jake White - Rise and return of Ruan Nortjé

--:--

The Bulls coach Jake White has praised the influence of the captain Ruan Nortjé ahead of this weekend's Jukskei derby against the Lions in the United Rugby Championship.
The Springbok lock, Nortje, made his long-awaited return to the field following an injury ahead of the Scotland Test during last year's End-of-Year tour to the United Kingdom.
Nortje played in the 48-7 win against Stade Francais at Loftus Versfeld as the Bulls broke their four-match winless drought.
White said the 26-year-old second-rower has a massive impact on the team.
