The Bulls have stuck with a winning combination, naming an unchanged team for their United Rugby Championship (URC) clash against unbeaten Irish side Leinster at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday.
After losing three URC games on the trot, the Bulls bounced back last week to thump Zebre 78-12, and they will be eager to gain further momentum ahead of the URC playoffs.
While they have already qualified for the knockouts ahead of the final round of league matches, they still have positions to play for this weekend which will decide who the face in the quarter-finals, with some potentially tough games on the cards.

A victory against Leinster could see them move up to sixth place, but if they lose and the Sharks beat Munster, they could finish eighth on the log and might have to travel to Dublin to face Leinster again in the last eight.
Should they hold on to seventh position, they might be up against defending champions the Stormers in Cape Town.
Forming part of a rugby festival at Loftus on Saturday, the Bulls will face Leinster at 4pm. This match will be preceded by a URC clash between the Lions and Zebre at 1pm and will be followed by a Currie Cup clash between the Bulls and the Lions at 6.30pm.
