Ackers praises Bulls backline after big Champions Cup win
Bulls coach Johan Ackermann had special praise for Cheswill Jooste, who overcame illness earlier in the week to score a hat-trick.
Coach Johan Ackermann commended the Bulls' determination and highlighted their strong backline after their commanding 56-20 victory over Stade Français in the Champions Cup. The Pretoria Union secured eight tries, including a hat-trick from 20-year-old Cheswill Jooste in the group 4 match at Loftus. Mid-season signing Luan Giliomee played a significant role, with utility back Sango Xamlashe also impressing the coach in training.
Both players had notable performances, contributing to the team's success. Ackermann emphasized the team's fight, acknowledging they weren't as clinical as the scoreline suggested, but praised their ability to score crucial tries and hold a strong defense. The Bulls earned a bonus point in this hard-fought victory, demonstrating their resilience and determination even in the challenging Pretoria conditions.
