Blue Bulls opt for Jaco

Pretoria - Veteran Jaco van der Westhuizen has been picked at flyhalf for the Blue Bulls for Saturday’s Vodacom Cup match against Western Province in a quest to give the team some much needed momentum.

The clash at Loftus Versveld is of utmost importance for captain Juandre Kruger’s men, who have lost all three their matches thus far in the competition.

As a result the Bulls have added some much needed reinforcements to their team, by including Van der Westhuizen, centre pairing Stefan Watermeyer and Stephan Dippenaar, and prop Dean Greyling.
