Bulls boss Jake White has included several URC players in his Currie Cup team for the round eight match against Western Province in Cape Town on Saturday.
The match is being viewed as something of a dress rehearsal ahead of the Stormers’ hosting of the Bulls in the URC quarter-finals, at the same venue, next weekend.
Young Reinhard Ludwig will lead the side that includes Gerhard Steenekamp, Marco van Staden, Johan Goosen and David Kriel.
The match is set for a 6.30pm kick-off.

Stedman Gans, Wandisile Simelane and Kurt-Lee Arendse will provide some attacking spark out wide, while the experienced Cornal Hendricks will lead the midfield.
