Louw like a kid on his birthday, Goosen returns at fullback for Bulls

Elrigh Louw was released from the Springbok camp and wants to play for the Bulls. Johan Goosen will play fullback for Bulls against Edinburgh on Saturday. The Bulls won the United Rugby Championship match against Argentina last weekend. The SpringBoks have a flyhalf crisis. Jake White is looking forward to playing loose forward with Marcell Coetzee and Ruan Vermaak.

Both Bulls and Edinburgh have started the URC season well. Bulls beat the Lions 31-15 at Ellis Park and the Edinburgh thumped the Dragons 44-6. White believes his team will have to raise the bar against Edinburgh. Edinburgh has a lot of experience and is well-coached. They have internationals who have played World Cups and Six Nations every year.

Bulls team: Johan Goosen, Cornal Hendricks, Lionel Mapoe, David Kriel, Stravino Jacobs, Chris Smith, Zak Burger, Elrigh Louw, Ruan Vermaak, Marcell Coetzee, Walt Steenkamp, Mornay Smith and Gerhard Steenskamp. IMPACT team is: Jan-Hendrik Wessels, Simphiwe Matanzima, Francois Klopper, Janko Swanepoel, Marco van Staden, Embrose Papier, Morne Steyn and Stedman Gans.
