Pretoria - Bulls coach Frans Ludeke has kept the Bulls side unchanged for Friday's crunch Super Rugby match against the Sharks in Durban.
Ludeke said team selection was straightforward this week as the Bulls showed against the Cheetahs that they were up to the task and were in form.
"Momentum is a very important factor at this stage of the competition and it is something we have now," said Ludeke.
Hooker Chiliboy Rallepele will run out in his 50th Super Rugby match for the Bulls, while Wilhelm Steenkamp could also play in his 50th Super game.
