Bulls head coach Johan Ackermann said he backs 19-year-old Cheswill Jooste to face Scotlands all-time leading try scorer, and believes the challenge will aid his development even if the contest does not go his way.
The Junior Springbok will earn just his fourth non-Currie Cup cap for the Bulls when they play against Edinburgh in their 10th round United Rugby Championship match at Hive Stadium on Friday night kick-off 9.45pm.
The Bulls sit one place below Edinburgh at 11th, wanting a win to restore pride after just coming out of a seven-match losing streak.
