The Vodacom Bulls have been forced into making one change ahead of the start of their round 2 match-up versus Edinburgh Rugby on Saturday 28 September at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.
Wilco Louw – who has struggled with overnight illness – has been replaced by Francois Klopper at the front row. Louw’s infelicitous illness sees Mornay Smith coming into the matchday 23 where he will be on standby to get involved as part of the impact squad.
