Bulls keep their demolition crew
TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT: Bulls Director of Rugby Jake White has opted for continuity in selection.
The Bulls travel to Nelspruit to square off against the Pumas in a Preparation Series match on Tuesday.
White named the same starting XV that did an 87-10 demolition job on the Eastern Province Elephants 10 days ago.
Springbok Nizaam Carr continues in his role as captain, which he performed superbly against the EP Elephants.
The bench has been shuffled to allow more game time with Nolan Pienaar, Bernard van der Linde, Clinton Swart, Henco Beukes, Willie Potgieter and Richard Kriel all set to add a powerful blow to the opposition later in the match.
