Former Sharks star Curwin Bosch is set to make his Bulls debut against the All Blacks on Saturday at Loftus Versfeld.

A two-year stint in France, where he had no distractions or sideshows, has Curwin Bosch feeling like he is back to the rugby that made him a Springbok.

Now, ahead of a potential debut for the Bulls against the All Blacks in the third tour match of Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry, the utility back wants to show that he is ready to make that step-up again.

The 29-year-old Bosch, a former star for the Sharks, will call Pretoria home from this season in the United Rugby Championship and Champions Cup, and is ready to embrace the challenge that awaits at Loftus Versfeld.

Bosch, who is expected to start at No 10 in Saturday’s highly anticipated third Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour match, says his time with Brive gave him a new lease on his rugby career.
