Ready for running of the Bulls?
Phepsi Buthelezi and his Sharks' teammates are bracing themselves for an extremely
physical battle against the Bulls in their URC derby at Loftus Versfeld
on Saturday.
In the latest episode of 'To The Last Drop', Phepsi Buthelezi shared his thoughts on the Bulls, describing them as a tough team to beat on home soil.
He noted that their recent win against the Stormers in Cape Town would have given them a confidence boost.
Despite this, he remains confident that the Sharks can put in a strong performance and close the gap on the Bulls in the points table.
Buthelezi also spoke passionately about his journey to becoming a Springbok last year and his roots in Hluhluwe.
Additionally, the episode features a preview of this weekend's URC clashes and a recap of last weekend's Six Nations action.
