Wandisile Simelane to wing it for the Bulls in Ireland

Exciting utility back Wandisile Simelane has been handed the Bulls’ No 11 jersey for the team’s United Rugby Championship match against Munster at Thomand Park in Limerick on Saturday night.

Simelane, who has played most of his rugby at centre and most recently ran out at fullback for the Bulls, will play on the wing for the first time at this level.

There are also other changes in the Bulls team following their defeat by Glasgow Warriors last weekend.

Harold Vorster is back from injury and will partner Lionel Mapoe in the midfield, while WJ Steenkamp will join the loose-trio in the No 7 jersey.

Johan Goosen, who is in the running to play for the Springboks on next month’s November tour of Europe, is also back in the starting team, for Chris Smith, after sitting out the Glasgow match.

There are also changes at scrumhalf and in the front row where Embrose Papier and two new props, Mornay Smith and Simphiwe Matanzima, come in this week.
