LOUW: EXPECTS OPEN, RUNNING GAME AGAINST SHARKS
Ross Roche
Bulls must not turn switch off

The Bulls are targeting a big performance in their United Rugby Championship (URC) derby against the Sharks at Kings Park in Durban on Saturday, to end their year on the right note.

It has been a solid start to the URC season for the Bulls, winning five out of six games and are sitting third on the log, but the Sharks are hot on their heels in sixth place and they know that a loss would see them close the gap.

The hosts are also expected to name their strongest possible side, with all their available Springboks in action, which will add to the occasion as the Bulls unleash all of their Bok stars as well.
