Bulls rush captain Odendaal back
TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT: Bulls head coach Pote Human has revealed his team to face the Reds in their Super Rugby Round Seven encounter in Brisbane on Saturday.
Bulls captain Burger Odendaal returns to the starting team after an injury that kept him sidelined for two weeks.
The only other change made by Human is positional with Johnny Kotze reverting back to outside centre, freeing up the No.12 jersey for Odendaal.
The last 13 Super Rugby matches between the two teams have been won by the home team.
The last four meetings in Brisbane have been won by the Reds albeit by seven points or less which bodes well for the Bulls who are out to earn their first win in Brisbane since 2004.
