Bulls make late changes

Johannesburg - The Bulls have made some late changes to their team ahead of Saturday evening's Vodacom Super Rugby clash against the Sharks in Durban.

Danie Rossouw has been promoted to blindside flank, with Dewald Potgieter dropping to the bench.

Potgieter has almost fully recovered from an ankle injury, but has been removed from the run-on XV as a precautionary measure, according to Bulls high performance manager Ian Schwartz.

And Stephen Dippenaar has received a late call as cover for fullback Zane Kirchner, who has picked up the flu.

If Kirchner cannot play, he will be replaced by Gerhard van den Heever in the run-on XV and Dippenaar will join the bench.
