The Bulls are banking on Handre Pollard's experience in their URC semi-final against Glasgow Warriors.
The showdown between the Bulls and the Glasgow Warriors in the United Rugby Championship semi-finals pits two teams in red-hot form against each other in a clash entirely worthy of the grand final itself.
The Warriors, champions two seasons ago, topped the regular season URC points table, while the Bulls have won six of their last seven fixtures, scoring a frightening average of over 40 points per game. It is bound to be nip and tuck in an incredibly tight semi-final. We look at the key tactical areas that could decide the result at Murrayfield.
For the Bulls, Embrose Papier has been in sizzling form this season, crossing the whitewash nine times to make him one of the tournament’s most lethal attacking backs. The scrum-half is deadly around the fringes of the set-piece and has also become a master of the defensive intercept. When he spots a gap, he possesses the raw pace to kiss the tracking defence goodnight.
Conversely, Glasgow’s star scrum-half, George Horne, is a vital cog in their attacking machine but is facing a race against time to overcome an injury he picked up during last week's quarter-final victory over Connacht.
