Bulls loose-forward, Cyle Brink, is set to make his United Rugby Championship debut when his side takes on the Welsh outfit, Scarlets Rugby, at Loftus Versfeld on Friday night.

The Bulls will end what has been a demanding week of rugby with a visit from the Llanelli-based side, this on the back of a mid-week Currie Cup win over Sharks on Wednesday and a historic URC victory against Munster Rugby last Saturday.

The Tshwane-based side have made 10 changes to the team that was in action in the domestic match on Wednesday and four changes to the victorious team that was in action against Munster the past weekend.

“It has been a very busy week for us as a squad this week – playing three tough matches in a space of seven days in both the URC and Currie Cup,” said Bulls director of rugby, Jake White, ahead of the game.

“Management of our playing personnel has been key this week. As a result, we have made a total of 10 changes to the team that was on duty on Wednesday night against the Sharks in the Currie Cup.

“We have another tough match against a Scarlets team that has shown what a threat they can be in the URC. We will need to be sharp and prepared to play an 80-minute game in what promises to be a highly competitive encounter.”

Some of the changes to the team from the match against Munster will see Canan Moodie earning a starting berth at wing, while Cornal Hendricks shifts to outside centre, where he will form a midfield pairing with Harold Vorster.

Zak Burger returns to the starting XV at scrumhalf, while in the forwards Brink will don the No7 jersey.

This game at Loftus Versfeld kicks off at 19:10.

Bulls – 15 Kurt-Lee Arendse, 14 Canan Moodie, 13 Cornal Hendricks, 12 Harold Vorster, 11 Madosh Tambwe, 10 Chris Smith, 9 Zak Burger, 8 Elrigh Louw, 7 Cyle Brink, 6 Marcell Coetzee (c), 5 Ruan Nortje, 4 Walt Steenkamp, 3 Jacques van Rooyen, 2 Johan Grobbelaar, 1 Gerhard Steenekamp.

Replacements - 16 Joe van Zyl, 17 Simphiwe Matanzima, 18 Robert Hunt, 19 Reinhardt Ludwig, 20 Arno Botha, 21 Keagan Johannes, 22 Morne Steyn, 23 Lionel Mapoe.
