Bulls name Vodacom Cup side

The Blue Bulls are looking to finish their Vodacom Cup campaign undefeated when they face the Free State Cheetahs in the final of the Cup at Loftus B on Friday.

Coach Nico Serfontein only made one forced change on his bench where Zane Botha is ruled out with a broken jaw and will be replaced by Jaco Fourie.

He is fully aware that his side's winning run of nine matches could come to a cruel halt if they lose the final.

"It happened to us last year and we still hurt. We have learned a lesson and will not make the same mistake again," Serfontein said.

The team is: Tiger Mangweni, Sello Mametsa, Deon Helberg, Stefan Watermeyer, Vainon Willis, Francois Brummer, Ruan Snyman, Gerrit-Jan van Velze (c), Devin Oosthuizen, Okkie Kruger, Mthunzi Mabeta, Cornell Hess, Dean Greyling, Chiliboy Ralepelle, Jaco Engels.

Replacements: Jaco Fourie, Rossouw De Klerk, Morn Mellett, Vincent Gwavu, Danie Faasen, Marnitz Boshoff, Ernst Dinkelman
