Overview
- The Bulls named a near full-strength side for Saturday’s Champions Cup last‑16 at Glasgow, shifting David Kriel to fullback and starting Cameron Hanekom at No. 8.
- Coach Johan Ackermann kept changes minimal, with Willie le Roux on the bench, Canan Moodie at outside centre and 19-year-old Cheswill Jooste starting on the wing.
- The Stormers travelled to Toulon with coaches weighing a late call on scrumhalf Cobus Reinach after February groin surgery, with their matchday 23 to be confirmed on Friday.
- The Sharks picked Eben Etzebeth straight after a 12-week suspension for Friday’s EPCR Challenge Cup tie at Connacht, while a 13-change, injury-hit squad leaves out several frontline Springboks.
- Glasgow lead the URC and are unbeaten in their Champions Cup pool, and no South African team has advanced past the quarter-finals, highlighting the scale of this weekend’s away assignments.
