Coetzee back to lead Bulls against WP in Currie Cup semi

Springbok loose forward Marcell Coetzee is back to lead the Blue Bulls in their Currie Cup semi-final against Western Province at Loftus Versfeld on Friday night. Kick-off is 7pm.

After missing a few weeks of action, the experienced flanker is back in the team, meaning fellow former Bok Arno Botha shifts to the blindside of the scrum.

The former Lions pairing of Harold Vorster and Lionel Mapoe will man the midfield, with Cornal Hendricks shifting to the wing.
