Bulls legend Victor Matfield believes the Bulls have left their URC finals hoodoo in Pretoria and will get over the line against Leinster in the big final at Croke Park on Friday night.
“It is a difficult one because Leinster must be favourites at home,” said Matfield, who captained the Bulls to three Super Rugby finals wins. “But I think the Bulls are going to graft away for the full 80-minutes, and they must be at their utmost best as they administer their poison.
“The Bulls will need to be ultra-physical if they want to compete in this final, but I just think the momentum and belief that they have created in the last eight to ten weeks is there, and the unity they have is fantastic,” Matfield explained.
“The Bulls scrum is their strength — that is where they can win it, if they can win penalties there, they will be dangerous. So I predict the Bulls by one in a low-scoring match.
