Most of the Bulls top and season players have made the trip up north, however, they have travelled along more to bring along team spirit.

Coach Nollis Marais has named an almost unrecognisable match 24 for the game and will feature former Cheetahs flank Freddy Ngoza and scrumhalf Piet van Zyl in the starting 15 while former flyhalf, Francois Brummer, starts off the bench.

Former Central University of Technology winger, Jamba Ulengo, a winger who was sensational during the Currie Cup last year for the Blue Bulls, has also been named among the reserves.
