Coetzee to lead formidable Bulls team against All Blacks at Loftus
There are a number of Springboks in the side, including new recruit Curwin Bosch.
Johan Ackerman has assembled a strong team to face the All Blacks in their Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry match at Loftus in Pretoria on Saturday. Veteran flanker Marcell Coetzee will captain the Bulls squad, which also features Willie le Roux, Harold Vorster, Embrose Papier, and new signings Curwin Bosch, Hanro Liebenberg, and Thaakir Abrahams.
Experienced players Jeandre Rudolph and Harold Vorster will bolster the pack. The All Blacks have won three of their four previous encounters, with the Bulls’ sole victory coming in 1976. The tourists will face the Springboks, Lions, and other teams in subsequent matches across South Africa and the USA. The Bulls and All Blacks have a historic rivalry dating back to 1949.
