Springboks loose-forward Elrigh Louw will be hoping to make his mark against the All Blacks for the Bulls.

The Bulls have been bolstered by the late release of two Springboks as they prepare to host the All Blacks at Loftus Versfeld on Saturday in the third match of the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry tour.

Hooker Johan Grobbelaar and loose forward Elrigh Louw have been released by Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus to gain valuable game time and will start on the Bulls bench after joining Johan Ackermann’s squad late in the week.

The pair have had just one training session with the Bulls, but Ackermann welcomed their inclusion.

“It’s great to have them with us, and we’re looking forward to the challenge,” Ackermann said.
