  "account": "The Bulls aim to extend their perfect home record against underdogs Scarlets in their upcoming URC clash at Loftus. Having already secured three wins out of four games, the Bulls sit third in the URC table. While holding the same points as fourth-placed Stormers, the Bulls boast a superior points difference, putting them just two points behind Glasgow Warriors and three behind leaders Edinburgh. The Bulls recently overcame a challenging 34-26 victory over Ulster, who nearly secured an upset win against the Stormers in Cape Town. Regular captain Marcell Coetzee is fit to play, coming off a disciplinary hearing regarding a yellow-card incident involving Ulster lock Ben Donnell. The Bulls will be motivated to maintain their home winning streak, backing their strong performance against Scarlets in their past five meetings, including a nail-biting 23-21 victory last season in Llanelli.",
  "summary": "Having survived a scare against Ulster last weekend, the Bulls will not be tempted to take Scarlets lightly on Saturday.",
