With the Sharks resting key stars and the Stormers on the road in New Zealand, the Bulls will be desperate this weekend to try and make up some ground on the side above them with victory over the Crusaders. Handré Pollard has been phenomenal so far this season and the Bulls have looked to him for inspiration and points with their attack yet to really get off the ground. Last week’s win over the Force was a close-run affair that left us with more questions than answers about Frans Ludeke’s side, so this is a chance to make a statement and against a strong Crusaders outfit who thrashed the Cheetahs last weekend. Seven tries alone in the second half was an impressive achievement by Dan Carter and co., who welcome back Richie McCaw for a bruising encounter at Loftus.
