The Bulls have named five Springboks in their match-day 23 for Saturday night’s Currie Cup clash against the Toyota Cheetahs in Pretoria.
Marcell Coetzee will captain the side, with Johan Grobbelaar, Embrose Papier, Jan Serfontein, and Cobus Wiese also featuring – all of whom have worn the green-and-gold before.
The Bulls, however, will be without the services of Ruan Nortjé, Canan Moodie, Handré Pollard, and Willie le Roux, who are currently in New Zealand with the Springboks for their crucial Rugby Championship Tests against the All Blacks.
