Stuck at the bottom of the Super Rugby log, the Bulls have a litany of problems to address ahead of Saturday’s meeting with the Highlanders at Loftus as well as an overseas tour looming.
Coach Pote Human is also under increasing pressure from certain quarters for his perseverance of Morne Steyn at flyhalf as the veteran is currently keeping promising playmaker Manie Libbok on the bench.
But Steyn insists he’s not going to give up on his starting berth and believes his 22-year-old understudy will benefit from the experience. “I’ve been there and it helped me a lot.”
