Bulls head coach Johan Ackermann said his team are determined, despite recent results going against them, to deliver a full 80-minute performance in their must-win Champions Cup clash against Bristol Bears.
The teams meet in the third round at Loftus at 3pm on Saturday, with the Bulls needing victory to remain in contention. Defeat would leave them either dropping into the lower-tier Challenge Cup or out of European competition altogether after their final pool match against Section Paloise next week.
Ackermann named a strong matchday squad, with 10 Springboks in the starting XV . Springboks Canan Moodie and Kurt-Lee Arendse miss out due to HIA protocols, while Cameron Hanekom is still nursing a hamstring injury.
