It was billed as an epic United Rugby Championship (URC) clash, and that's exactly what it turned out to be as North/South rivals, the Bulls and the Stormers, faced off in front of 40 000 supporters at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
Their professional relationship might've been a bit tetchy over the past year or so, but Stormers coach John Dobson gleefully welcomed his Bulls counterpart Jake White back to the fold for Saturday's highly anticipated north-south URC derby at Loftus.
Stormers coach John Dobson has made two changes to his forward pack for Saturday's North-South URC derby against the Bulls in Pretoria.
Springbok winger Sbu Nkosi is back in the Bulls starting line-up for Saturday's URC derby against the Stormers in Pretoria.
As much as Bulls scrum coach Werner Kruger is in awe of the Stormers' scrum, he also hopes his charges will be able to channel their emotions effectively at set-piece time for Saturday's North/South derby at Loftus Versfeld.
